$B_{(s)}$ to Light Axial Vector Meson Form Factors via LCSR in HQEFT with Applications to Semileptonic Decays

In the present work, the form factors of $B_{(s)}$ to light P-wave axial vector mesons are calculated via the light cone sum rules (LCSR) in the framework of heavy quark effective field theory (HQEFT). Firstly, the expressions of form factors in terms of the light cone distribution amplitudes (DAs) of axial vector mesons are derived via the LCSR at the leading order of heavy quark expansion. It is found that the penguin type form factors can be obtained directly from the corresponding semileptonic ones, which is similar to the case of S-wave mesons. Considering the light axial vector meson DAs to twist-3, we give the numerical results of form factors systematically. As applications, we investigate the branching ratios, longitudinal polarization fractions and forward-backward asymmetries of relevant semileptonic decays induced by charged current. Our results may be tested by more precise experiments in the future.

$B \rightarrow TT$ decays in the QCD factorization approach

In this study, the nonleptonic two-body $B$ decays into two tensor mesons (including $a_2(1320)$, $K^*_2(1430)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f^\prime_2(1525)$, denoted generically as $T$) are investigated in the QCD factorization approach. The branching ratios, longitudinal polarization fractions, and CP asymmetries are predicted systematically. It is found that, from the perspective of central values, the branching ratios for the decays $B \rightarrow \{a_2 f^\prime_2, f_2 f^\prime_2\}$, $\{a_2f_2, f_2 f_2\}$ and $\{f_2 K^*_2, K^*_2f^\prime_2\}$ are at the order of $10^{-8}$, $10^{-7}$ and $10^{-6}$, respectively. The branching ratios for the decays into $\{a_2 a_2, K^*_2 K^*_2\}$ and $a_2 K^*_2$ are at the order of $10^{-8} - 10^{-7}$ and $10^{-7} - 10^{-6}$, respectively. The longitudinal polarization fractions are approximately $0.7-1$. Especially, for the $\bar{B}^0/B^0 \rightarrow \{K^{*-}_2 K^{*+}_2, f^\prime_2 f^\prime_2\}$ decays, the longitudinal polarization fractions are equal to $1$. The CP asymmetry for the $B^\pm \rightarrow a^\pm_2 f_2$ modes is most significant, roughly $-22\%$. The CP asymmetries for the decays $B \rightarrow \{a_2 f^\prime_2, f_2 f^\prime_2, f^\prime_2 f^\prime_2\}$ and $\bar{B}^0/B^0 \rightarrow K^{*-}_2 K^{*+}_2$ are equal to zero. Our results may be tested by more precise experiments in the future.
