Abstract

We study the factorization-forbidden decays BhcKB\to h_c K and Bχc2KB\to\chi_{c2}K in the QCD factorization approach. If neglecting the vertex corrections and regularizing the end-point singularities in spectator corrections properly, we get small branching ratios for both the two decay modes, which are roughly consistent with the experimental upper limits. This is in contrast to another factorization-forbidden decay Bχc0KB\to \chi_{c0}K, for which a large decay rate is obtained in the same approach.
