Study of B0-->J/Psi D(*) and etac D(*) in Perturbative QCD


Abstract in English

Motivated by recent interest in soft $J/Psi$ production in B decays, we investigate ${B}^0 to J/Psi D^{(star)}$ and $eta_c D^{(star)}$ decays in perturbative QCD. We find that, within that framework, these decays are calculable since the heavy $cbar{c}$ pair in the final states is created by a hard gluon. The branching ratios are estimated to be around $10^{-7}sim 10^{-8}$, too small to be consistent with the data, suggesting that other mechanism(s) contribute to the observed excess of soft $J/Psi$ in ${B}^0 to J/Psi + X$ decays. The possibility of the production of a hybrid $s{bar d}g$ meson with mass about 2 GeV is briefly entertained.
