$S$-wave resonance contributions to the $B^0_{(s)}\to η_c{(2S)}π^+π^-$ in the perturbative QCD factorization approach

Abstract

By employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach, we study the quasi-two-body $B^0_{(s)}\to η_c{(2S)}π^+π^-$ decays, where the pion pair comes from the $S$-wave resonance $f_0(X)$. The Breit$-$Wigner formula for the $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(1500)$ resonances, and the Flatté model for the $f_0(980)$ resonance are adopted to parameterize the time-like scalar form factors in the two-pion distribution amplitudes. As a comparison, Bugg's model is also used for the wide $f_0(500)$ in this work. For decay rates, we found the following PQCD predictions: (a) $ {\cal B}(B^0_s\to η_c(2S) f_0(X)[π^+π^-]_s )=\left ( 2.67^{+1.78}_{-1.08} \right )\times 10^{-5}$ when the contributions from $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1500)$ are all taken into account; (b) ${\cal B}(B^0\to η_c(2S) f_0(500)[π^+π^-]_s)= \left ( 1.40 ^{+0.92}_{-0.56} \right ) \times 10^{-6}$ in the Breit-Wigner model and $ \left ( 1.53 ^{+0.97}_{-0.61} \right ) \times 10^{-6}$ in the Bugg's model.
