Soft FSI Systematics for charmless strange $B^\pm$ Decays

Abstract

New results going beyond those obtained from isospin and flavor symmetry and subject to clear experimental tests are obtained for effects of FSI in B±B^\pm decays to final states containing neutral flavor-mixed mesons like ω\omega, ϕ\phi, η\eta and η\eta'. The most general strong-interaction diagrams containing arbitrary numbers of quarks and gluons are included with the assumptions that any qqˉq \bar q pair created by gluons must be a flavor singlet, and that there are no hairpin diagrams in which a final meson contains a qqˉq \bar q pair from the same gluon vertex. The smallness of KηK^- \eta suggests that it might have a large CP violation. A sum rule is derived to test whether the large KηK^- \eta' requires the addition of an additional glueball or charm admixture. Further analysis from DsD_s decay systematics supports this picture of FSI and raises questions about charm admixture in the η\eta'.
