Abstract

We study ccˉc \bar c color-octet contribution to Bψ(ψ)XB\to \psi (\psi') X. When this contribution is included, the theoretical predictions for the branching ratios become in much better agreement with the experiment. This mechanism also enhances the partial rate asymmetries by about a factor of five. The inclusive ψ(ψ)\psi(\psi') resulting from bd+b\to d+{}gluon can have asymmetry around a few percent whereas those from bs+b\to s+{}gluon has it around 4×1044\times 10^{-4}. The asymmetry in the former modes should be observable, to a significance of 3σ3\sigma, with about (110)×108B(1-10)\times 10^8B mesons.
