Abstract

The effects of isotopic invariance violation in the processes e+eBBˉe^{+}e^{-}\to B\bar{B}, e+eBBˉe^{+}e^{-}\to B^{*}\bar{B}, and e+eBBˉe^{+}e^{-}\to B^{*}\bar{B}^{*} are considered in the energy range between the thresholds of B+BB^{+}B^{-} and Bs0Bˉs0B_{s}^{0}\bar{B}_{s}^{0} production. The analysis is based on taking into account the final-state interaction in a six-channel problem. Our approach allowed us to obtain good agreement with recent Belle-II results for the ratio of the B0Bˉ0B^{0}\bar{B}^{0} and B+BB^{+}B^{-} production cross sections in e+ee^{+}e^{-} annihilation in the vicinity of Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S). It is shown that at higher energies the ratios of the cross sections for pairs of neutral and charged B()B^{(*)} mesons can differ significantly from unity. A detailed measurement of this effect will provide evidence that the nontrivial energy dependence of the B()Bˉ()B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)} production cross sections is a consequence of interference of the particle production amplitudes in the multichannel problem.
