Abstract

Motivated by recent interest in soft J/ΨJ/\Psi production in B decays, we investigate B0J/ΨD(){B}^0 \to J/\Psi D^{(\star)} and ηcD()\eta_c D^{(\star)} decays in perturbative QCD. We find that, within that framework, these decays are calculable since the heavy ccˉc\bar{c} pair in the final states is created by a hard gluon. The branching ratios are estimated to be around 10710810^{-7}\sim 10^{-8}, too small to be consistent with the data, suggesting that other mechanism(s) contribute to the observed excess of soft J/ΨJ/\Psi in B0J/Ψ+X{B}^0 \to J/\Psi + X decays. The possibility of the production of a hybrid sdˉgs{\bar d}g meson with mass about 2 GeV is briefly entertained.
