Determining the effective Wilson coefficient $a_2$ in terms of $BR(B_s\to {\eta }_c\varphi )$ and evaluating $BR(B_s\to {\eta }_c{f}_0(980))$

Abstract

In this work, we investigate decays of $B_s\to {\eta }_c\varphi$ and $B_s\to {\eta }_c{f}_0(980)$ in a theoretical framework. The calculation is based on the postulation that $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(500)$ are mixtures of pure quark states $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\bar{u}u+\bar{d}d)$ and $\bar{s}s$. The hadronic matrix elements for $B_s\to \varphi$ and $B_s\to f_0(980)$ are calculated in the light-front quark model and the important Wilson coefficient $a_2$ which is closely related to non-perturbative QCD is extracted. However, our numerical results indicate that no matter how to adjust the mixing parameter to reconcile contributions of $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(500)$, one cannot make the theoretical prediction on $B_s\to {\eta }_c+{\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ to meet the data. Moreover, the new measurement of $BR(B_s\to J/\psi +f_0(500))<1.7\times 10^{-6}$ also negates the mixture scenario. Thus, we conclude that the recent data suggest that $f_0(980)$ is a four quark state ( tetraquark or $K\bar{K}$ molecule ), at least the fraction of its pure quark constituents is small.
