Abstract

Inspired by the small longitudinal polarizations (LPs) of BKϕB\to K^* \phi decays observed by BELLE and BABAR, we revise the theoretical uncertainties of perturbative QCD approach for determining hard scales of B decays, we find that the LPs of BKϕB\to K^* \phi could approach to 60% while the branching ratios (BRs) could be around 9×1069\times 10^{-6}. In addition, we also study the BRs and polarization fractions of Bρ(ω)ρ(ω)B\to \rho (\omega) \rho (\omega) and Bρ(ω)KB\to \rho (\omega) K^* decays. For those tree dominant and color-allowed processes in Bρ(ω)ρ(ω)B\to \rho (\omega) \rho (\omega) decays, we get that the BRs of (ρ+ρ,ρ0ρ+,ωρ+)(\rho^{+} \rho^{-}, \rho^{0} \rho^{+}, \omega \rho^{+}) are (23.06,11.99,14.78)×106(23.06, 11.99, 14.78)\times 10^{-6} while their LPs are close to unity. Interestingly, due to significant tree contributions, we find that the BR(LP) of ρK+\rho^{-} K^{*+} could be around 10.13×106(6010.13 \times 10^{-6}(60%); and due to the tree and electroweak penguin, the BR(LP) of ωK+\omega K^{*+} could be around 5.67×106(615.67 \times 10^{-6}(61%).
