Abstract

We study BϕKB\to \phi K and BϕXsB\to \phi X_s decays in the heavy quark limit using perturbative QCD. The next leading order corrections introduce substantial modifications to the naive factorization results (more than 50%). The branching ratio Br(BϕK)Br(B\to \phi K) is predicted to be in the range (F1BK(mϕ2)/0.33)2(3.54.2)×106(F^{B\to K}_1(m^2_\phi)/0.33)^2(3.5\sim 4.2) \times 10^{-6} which is within the one σ\sigma allowed region from the central value of 6.2×1066.2\times 10^{-6} measured by CLEO, but outside the one σ\sigma allowed region from the central value of 17.2×10617.2\times 10^{-6} measured by BELLE for reasonable F1BKF_1^{B\to K}. For the semi-inclusive decay BϕXsB\to \phi X_s we also include initial bound state effect in the heavy quark limit which decreases the branching ratio by about 10%. Br(BϕXs)Br(B\to \phi X_s) is predicted to be in the range (5.16.3)×105(5.1\sim 6.3)\times 10^{-5}.
