Abstract

We evaluate external WW-emission, internal WW-emission and WW-exchange contributions to nonleptonic BD()B\to D^{(*)} decays based on the perturbative QCD formalism including Sudakov effects, whose ratio is found to be 1:+0.2:0.03i1:+0.2:0.03i at the amplitude level. We observe that the internal WW-emission contribution is additive to the external WW-emission contribution, and that the WW-exchange contribution is negligible and mainly imaginary, its real part being at least one order of magnitude smaller than the imaginary part. Our predictions are consistent with the CLEO data and with those obtained by the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel method.
