Scalar Mesons in B-decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We summarize some persistent problems in scalar spectroscopy and discuss what could be learned here from charmless B-decays. Recent experimental results are discussed in comparison with theoretical expectations: a simple model based on penguin dominance leads to various symmetry relations in good agreement with recent data; a factorisation approach yields absolute predictions of rates. For more details, see Ref. 1.
