A Consistent Scenario for B to PS Decays

TL;DR

This paper analyzes B to pseudoscalar and heavy scalar meson decays, demonstrating consistency with experimental data under the assumption that scalar mesons are two-quark states and quantifying the impact of the dipolar penguin operator.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of B to PS decays, confirming the two-quark nature of scalar mesons and evaluating the role of the dipolar penguin operator O_{11}.

Findings

Agreement with experimental decay data achieved.

Scalar mesons modeled as two-quark states.

Quantified contribution of dipolar penguin operator.

Abstract

We consider B to PS decays where P stands for pseudoscalar and S for a heavy (~1500 MeV) scalar meson. We achieve agreement with available experimental data -- which includes a two orders of magnitude hierarchy -- assuming the scalars mesons are two quark states. The contribution of the dipolar penguin operator O_{11} is quantified.
