We estimate effects of the final state interactions in B → ππ decays coming from rescattering of ππ via exchange of ρ, σ, f 0 mesons. Then we include the ρρ rescattering via exchange of π, ω, a 1 mesons and finally we consider contributions of the a 1 π rescattering via exchange of ρ. The absorptive parts of amplitudes for these processes are determined. In the case of π + π − decay mode, due to model uncertainties, the calculated contribution is |M A | ≤ 1.7 × 10 −8 GeV. This produces a small relative strong phase for the tree and color-suppressed B → ππ amplitudes consistent with the result of a recent phenomenological analysis based on the BaBar and Belle results for the B → ππ branching ratios and CP asymmetries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
