Abstract:
Based on the assumption of a two-quark structure of the scalar meson f0(980), we calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for the four B→ f0(980)π and B→f0(980)η(′) decays by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. The leading order pQCD predictions for branching ratios are, Br(B-→f0(980)π-)~2.5×10-6, Br(B0→f0(980)π0)~2.6×10-7, Br(B0→f0(980)η)~2.5×10-7 and Br(B0→f0(980)η′)~6.7×10-7, which are consistent with both the QCD factorization predictions and the experimental upper limits.
