Abstract

The availability of data on BsB_s decays to strange quasi-two-body final states, either with or without charmonium opens new possibilities for understanding different contributions of weak diagrams and in particular the relative contributions of tree and penguin diagrams. Corresponding BdB_d and BsB_s decays to charge conjugate final states are equal in the SU(3) symmetry limit and the dominant SU(3) breaking mechanism is given by ratios of CKM matrix elements. Final State Interactions effects should be small, because strong interactions conserve CC and should tend to cancel in ratios between charge conjugate states. Particularly interesting implications of decays into final states containing η\eta and η\eta' are discussed.
