Nonfactorizable Contribution to B-Meson Decays to s-Wave Mesons

Two-body weak decays of bottom mesons into two pseudoscalar and pseudoscalar and vector mesons, are examined under isospin analysis to study nonfactorizable contribution.

AN ISOSPIN ANALYSIS OF NONFACTORIZABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO HADRONIC DECAYS OF BOTTOM MESONS

We investigate nonfactorizable contributions to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decay modes. Obtaining the factorizable contributions from spectator-quark diagrams for N c =3, we determine nonfactorizable isospin amplitudes required to explain the data for these modes. We observe that theoretical ratio of these amplitudes seem to follow a universal value for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decay modes. We predict the branching ratios for these decay modes.
