Studies on the $B\to \kappa \bar{\kappa }$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach

Abstract

The $B\to \kappa \bar{\kappa }$ decays are investigated for the first time in the perturbative QCD formalism based on the $k_T$ factorization theorem, where the light scalar $\kappa$ is assumed as a two-quark state. Our numerical results and phenomenological analyses on the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries show that: (a) the $B_s^0\to {\kappa }^{+}{\kappa }^{-}$ and $B_s^0\to {\kappa }^0{\bar{\kappa }}^0$ decays have large decay rates around $\mathcal{O}(10^{-5})$, which could be examined by the upgraded Large Hadron Collider beauty and/or Belle-II experiments in the near future; (b) a large decay rate about $3\times 10^{-6}$ appears in the pure annihilation $B_d^0\to {\kappa }^{+}{\kappa }^{-}$ channel, which could provide more evidences to help distinguish different QCD-inspired factorization approaches, even understand the annihilation decay mechanism; (c) the pure penguin modes $B_d^0\to {\kappa }^0{\bar{\kappa }}^0$ and $B_s^0\to {\kappa }^0{\bar{\kappa }}^0$ would provide a promising ground to search for the possible new physics because of their zero direct and mixing-induced CP violations in the standard model. The examinations with good precision from the future experiments will help to further study the perturbative and/or nonperturbative QCD dynamics involved in these considered decay modes.
