Abstract

We study the semileptonic decays of Bf0(1710,1500,1370)eνˉeB^-\to f_0(1710\,,1500\,,1370) e^-\bar \nu_e, in which the three f0f_0 states mix with glueball, sˉs\bar s s and (uˉu+dˉd)/2(\bar u u+\bar d d)/\sqrt 2 states, respectively. By averaging the mixings fitted in the literature, we find that the branching ratios of Bf0eνˉeB^-\to f_0 e^-\bar \nu_e are O(106)O(10^{-6}), O(106)O(10^{-6}) and O(105)O(10^{-5}), respectively, which can be simultaneously observed in experiments at BB factories. The large predicted branching rate for Bf0(1370)eνˉeB^-\to f_0(1370) e^-\bar \nu_e would provide a clean mode to directly observe the f0(1370)f_0(1370) state.
