Abstract

Isospin symmetry, as the most precise flavor symmetry, can be used to extract information about hadronic dynamics. The effective Hamiltonian for bottom quark weak decay is zero under the isospin lowering operators InI_-^n, which allows us to generate isospin sum rules through several master formulas. In this work, we derive the master formulas of isospin sum rules for the two- and three-body non-leptonic decays of BB mesons. Numerous new isospin sum rules, especially those involving three or more decay channels, are proposed. The isospin sum rules can be used to test isospin symmetry and provide hints the isospin partners of exotic hadrons in BB decays. It is found ten percent isospin breaking only in decay modes involving two vector mesons, indicating the complex dynamics of vector mesons. Besides, the isospin analysis suggests the charm tetraquark resonances might be observed in the BJ/ΨπK0 B^- \to J/\Psi \pi^-\overline K^0, B0J/ΨK0ϕ\overline B^0 \to J/\Psi \overline K^0\phi, and B0D0D0K0\overline B^0\to D^0\overline D^0\overline K^0 modes.
