Branching Ratios, Forward-backward Asymmetry and Angular Distributions of Decays
Using the form factors evaluated in the perturbative QCD approach,
we study semileptonic and decays,
where and are mixtures of and which
are and states, respectively. Using the technique of helicity
amplitudes, we express the decay amplitudes in terms of several independent and
Lorentz invariant pieces. We study the dilepton invariant mass distributions,
branching ratios, polarizations and forward-backward asymmetries of decays. The ambiguity in the sign of the mixing angle will induce
much large differences to branching ratios of semileptonic B decays: branching
ratios without resonant contributions either have the order of or
. But the polarizations and the forward-backward asymmetries are not
sensitive to the mixing angles. We find that the resonant contributions will
dramatically change the dilepton invariant mass distributions in the resonant
region. We also provide the angular distributions of decays.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, version appears in PR
Transition Form Factors in the PQCD approach
Under two different scenarios for the light scalar mesons, we investigate the
transition form factors of mesons decay into a scalar meson in the
perturbative QCD approach. In the large recoiling region, the form factors are
dominated by the short-distance dynamics and can be calculated using
perturbation theory. We adopt the dipole parametrization to recast the
dependence of the form factors. Since the decay constants defined by the scalar
current are large, our predictions on the form factors are much larger
than the transitions, especially in the second scenario. Contributions
from various light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are elaborated and we
find that the twist-3 LCDAs provide more than a half contributions to the form
factors. The two terms of the twist-2 LCDAs give destructive contributions in
the first scenario while they give constructive contributions in the second
scenario. With the form factors, we also predict the decay width and branching
ratios of the semileptonic and decays. The
branching ratios of channels are found to have the order of
while those of have the order of . These
predictions can be tested by the future experiments.Comment: 20 pages, 31 figure
Transition form factors of B decays into p-wave axial-vector mesons in the perturbative QCD approach
The form factors are studied in perturbative QCD approach
( denote a vector meson and two kinds of p-wave axial-vector mesons:
and states, respectively.). The form factors are directly
studied in the large recoiling region and extrapolated to the whole kinematic
region within the dipole parametrization. Adopting decay constants with
different signs for the two kinds of axial-vectors, we find that the two kinds
of form factors have the same sign. The two strange mesons
and mix with each other via the SU(3) symmetry breaking effect. In
order to reduce the ambiguities in the mixing angle between and
, we propose a model-independent way that utilizes the B decay data.
Most of the branching fractions of the semilteptonic decays
are of the order , which still need experimental tests in the on-going
and forthcoming experiments.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figure
Revisiting B->phi pi Decays in the Standard Model
In the standard model (SM), we re-investigate the rare decay ,
which has been viewed as an ideal probe to detect the new physics signals
beyond the SM. Contributions in the naive factorization method, the radiative
corrections, the long-distance contributions, and the contributions due to the
- mixing are taken into account. We find that the tiny branching
ratio in the naive factorization can be dramatically enhanced by the radiative
corrections and the - mixing effect, while the long-distance
contributions are negligibly small. Assuming the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa
angle and the mixing angle , we obtain the branching ratios of as and . If
the future experiment reports a branching ratio of order for decay, it may not be a clear signal for any new physics scenario.
In order to discriminate the large new physics contributions and those due to
the - mixing, we propose to measure the ratio of branching
fractions of the charged and neutral B decay channel. We also study the direct
CP asymmetries of these two channels, and the results are about
and for
and , respectively.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
