CP Asymmetries in B_d \to D^{*+}D^{*-} and B_s \to D^{*+}_s D^{*-}_s Decays: P-wave Dilution, Penguin and Rescattering Effects

Abstract

Determination of the CP-violating parameters \sin 2βand \sin 2β' is shown to be possible from B^0_d vs \bar{B}^0_d \to D^{*+}D^{*-} and B^0_s vs \bar{B}^0_s \to D^{*+}_sD^{*-}_s decays {\it without} doing the angular analysis. The P-wave dilution factors of these two asymmetries are found to be 0.89 and 0.90, respectively, using the factorization approximation and heavy quark symmetry. The penguin-induced corrections amount to about 2% and 3% in the corresponding B_d and B_s channels. Final-state rescattering effects could be handled by detecting the neutral modes B^0_d and \bar{B}^0_d \to D^{*0}\bar{D}^{*0}.
