Abstract

We study the indication of large different branching ratios between BD()0KK0B^{-}\to D^{(*)0} K^{-} {K}^{0} and BˉdD()+KK0\bar{B}_{d}\to D^{(*)+} K^{-} {K}^{0} observed by Belle. Interestingly, the same situation is not found in the decays BD()KK0B\to D^{(*)} K^{-} {K}^{*0}. If there exist no intermediate resonances in the decays BD()0KK0B^{-}\to D^{(*)0} K^{-} {K}^{0}, a puzzle will be arisen. We find that the color-suppressed processes BD()0a0(1450)B^{-}\to D^{(*)0}a^{-}_{0}(1450) with a0(1450)KK0a^{-}_{0}(1450)\to K^{-} {K}^{0} could be one of the candidates to enhance the BRs of BD()0KK0B^{-}\to D^{(*)0} K^{-} {K}^{0}. Our conjecture can be examined by the Dalitz plot technique and the analysis of angular dependence on KK0K^{-} {K}^{0} state at BB factories.
