New ways to explore factorization in b decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-02-03 v2

Abstract

We propose to study factorization breaking effects in exclusive b decays where they are strongly enhanced over the factorizing contributions. This can be done by selecting final-state mesons with a small decay constant or with spin greater than one. We find a variety of decay modes which could help understand the dynamical origin of factorization and the mechanisms responsible for its breaking.
