Charmless Three-body Decays of B Mesons Chun-Khiang Chua Chung Yuan Christian University HEP2007, 20 July 2007, Manchester Introduction Many three-body B decay modes are observed with rates~10-5. These modes usually have non-negligible (sizable) nonresonant (NR) contributions. Some modes, KSKSKS, K+K-KS, are useful for the extraction of sin2beff Most theoretical works are based on flavor symmetry. (Gronau et al, …) We (Cheng-CKC-Soni) use a factorization approach to study these modes (FA seems to work for DKK decay) A global analysis Different topological decay amplitudes Factorized into creation and transition parts A brief look at a typical three-body amp. The creation part 0→K+K- is related to the kaon’s e.m. form factors, fitted from data Non-resonant part is constrained by KSKSKS rate and K+K- mass spectrum The transiton part B0→K-K0 Use HMChPT amplitude with exponential form momentum dependence (aNR fixed from ppp rate) B0 to K+K-K0 rate: NR rates: 88% from b→s (via K+K-|ss|0) and 3% from b→u transitions CP-odd K+K-KS decay spectrum B-→K+K-K- decay The predicted NR rate agrees with Belle The nature of broad X0(1550) (or fX(1500) by Belle) is not clear. The large fraction of X0(1550), 121% by BaBar and 63% by Belle, is entirely unexpected, recalling that it is only 4% in K+K-K0 B→Kpp decays The predicted NR rate agrees with Belle B0→K-p+p0 decay 1st theory error: ?NR 2nd theory error: ms, ?NR, form factors 3rd theory error: ? Calculations for K-KSKS, KS?-?0, KS?0?0, KS?+?- modes are also available B→KKp and ppp (DS=0) decays KKp rate agrees with BaBar and Belle ppp rate is sensitive to B → pp transition (can be used to fix the aNR parameter) B0→p+p-p0 is predicted to have a rate (Br=26.3?10-6) larger than ?+?-p- as it receives r+, r- and r0 resonant contributions Dsin2beff=sin2beff-sin2bcharmonium Conclusions It is important to understand the NR amplitudes in 3
