Abstract

The rare decays B+Ds+ϕB^+ \to D_s^{+} \phi, B0Ds()K+B^0 \to D_s^{(*)-} K^+ and B+Ds()+Kˉ0B^+ \to D_s^{(*)+} \bar{K}^0 can occur only via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. We calculate these decays in perturbative QCD approach. We found that the calculated branching ratio of B0DsK+B^0 \to D_s^- K^+ agree with the data which had been observed in the KEK and SLAC B factories. The decay B+Ds()+Kˉ0B^+ \to D_s^{(*)+} \bar K^0 has a very small branching ratio at O (10810^{-8}), due to the suppression from CKM matrix elements. The branching ratio of B+Ds+ϕB^+ \to D_s^+ \phi is of order 10710^{-7} which may be measured in the near future by KEK and SLAC B factories. The small branching ratios predicted in the standard model make these channel sensitive to new physics contributions.
