Branching ratios and CP asymmetries in charmless nonleptonic B decays to radially excited mesons

Abstract

Nonleptonic two body B decays including radially excited $\pi (1300)$ or $\rho (1450)$ mesons in the final state are studied using the framework of generalized naive factorization approach. Branching ratios and CP asymmetries of $B\to P\pi (1300)$, $B\to V\pi (1300)$, $B\to P\rho (1450)$ and $B\to V\rho (1450)$ decays are calculated, where P and V stand for pseudoscalar and vector charmless mesons. Form factors for $B\to \pi (1300)$ and $B\to \rho (1450)$ transitions are estimated in the improved version of the Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise quark model. In some processes, CP asymmetries of more than 10% and branching ratios of $10^{-5}$ order are found, which could be reached in experiments.
