Abstract

With heavy quark limit and hierarchy approximation λQCDmDmB\lambda_{QCD}\ll m_D\ll m_B, we analyze the BD0Dˉ0B\to D^0\bar D^0 and BsD0Dˉ0B_s\to D^0\bar D^0 decays, which occur purely via annihilation type diagrams. As a roughly estimation, we calculate their branching ratios and CP asymmetries in Perturbative QCD approach. The branching ratio of BD0Dˉ0B\to D^0\bar D^0 is about 3.8×1053.8\times10^{-5} that is just below the latest experimental upper limit. The branching ratio of BsD0Dˉ0B_s\to D^0\bar D^0 is about 6.8×1046.8\times10^{-4}, which could be measured in LHC-b. From the calculation, it could be found that this branching ratio is not sensitive to the weak phase angle γ\gamma. In these two decay modes, there exist CP asymmetries because of interference between weak and strong interaction. However, these asymmetries are too small to be measured easily.
