Abstract

The two body charmless decays of BsB_s meson to light vector mesons are analyzed within the framework of QCD factorization. This approach implies that the nonfactorizable corrections to different helicity amplitudes are not the same. The effective parameters aiha_i^h for helicity h=0,+,h=0,+,- states receive different nonfactorizable contributions and hence are helicity dependent, contrary to naive factorization approach where aiha_i^h are universal and polarization independent. The branching ratios for BˉsVV\bar{B}_s\to VV decays are calculated and we find that branching ratios of some channels are of order 10510^{-5}, which are measurable at future experiments. The transverse to total decay rate ΓT/Γ\Gamma_T/\Gamma is also evaluated and found to be very small for most decay modes, so, in charmless BˉsVV\bar{B}_s\to VV decays, both light vector mesons tend to have zero helicity.
