Revisiting charmless hadronic B decays to scalar mesons

Abstract: Hadronic charmless B decays to scalar mesons are studied within the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF). Considering two different scenarios for scalar mesons above 1 GeV, we find that the data favor the scenario in which the scalars a 0 (1450) and K * 0 (1430) are the lowest lying q q bound states. This in turn implies a preferred four-quark nature for light scalars below 1 GeV. Assuming K * 0 (1430) being a lowest lying qs state, we show that the data of B → K * 0 (1430)η ( ′ ) and TABLE I: Experimental br… Show more

“…For differential decay widths, integrating over a range of m 2 e ≤ q 2 ≤ (m D − m M ) 2 , we obtain the decay widths and hence the decay branching ratios, the numerical results of which are shown in Tables VI and VII. In Table VI, for D 0(+) → a −(0) 0 (980)e + ν e , it is easy to see that our results are well consistent with those of BES III [1] within the error, where [43] B(a 0 (980) → ηπ) = 0.845 ± 0.017.…”

“…However, at the hadronic level, there are other interfering contributions with different weak phases. One of them associated with the interference between intermediate states, in three-or-more-body decays [8][9][10][11][12]. In general, interference occurs when two resonant intermediate states, with different weak phases, share the same kinematical region and hadronic final state.…”

“…The S-II corresponds to the case that light scalar mesons are four-quark bound states, while all scalar mesons are made of two quarks in S-I. Although S-II is much preferred [4][5][6][7][8][9], the final conclusion has not been confirmed yet.…”
