Abstract

The possible role of the triangle mechanism in the BB^- decay into D0ππ0ηD^{*0}\pi^-\pi^0\eta and D0ππ+πD^{*0}\pi^-\pi^+\pi^- is investigated. In this process, the triangle singularity appears from the decay of BB^- into D0KK0D^{*0}K^-K^{*0} followed by the decay of K0K^{*0} into πK+\pi^-K^+ and the fusion of the K+KK^+K^- which forms the a0(980)a_0(980) or f0(980)f_0(980) which finally decay into π0η\pi^0\eta or π+π\pi^+\pi^- respectively. The triangle mechanism from the KˉKKˉ\bar{K}^*K\bar{K} loop generates a peak around 1420 MeV in the invariant mass of πa0\pi^-a_0 or πf0\pi^-f_0, and gives sizable branching fractions Br(BD0πa0;a0π0η)=1.66×106Br(B^-\rightarrow D^{*0}\pi^- a_0;a_0 \rightarrow \pi^0\eta)= 1.66 \times 10^{-6} and Br(BD0πf0;f0π+π)=2.82×106Br(B^-\rightarrow D^{*0}\pi^- f_0 ; f_0 \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-)= 2.82 \times 10^{-6}.
