Indications for Large Rescattering in Rare B Decays

Abstract

The sign of ACP(Kπ+)<0A_{\rm CP}(K^-\pi^+) < 0, the evidence for Bˉ0π0π0\bar B^0 \to \pi^0\pi^0, and the possibly sizable AππA_{\pi\pi} and SππS_{\pi\pi} in Bˉ0π+π\bar B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^- all suggest that final state rescattering may be needed in BˉPP\bar B\to PP decay, which is echoed by large color suppressed Bˉ0D0h0\bar B^0\to D^0h^0 modes. An SU(3) formalism of 8888{\bf 8}\otimes {\bf 8} \to {\bf 8}\otimes {\bf 8} rescattering in PPPP final states leads to interesting predictions, in particular allowing for small Bˉ0KK+\bar B^0 \to K^-K^+.
