A study of hadron pair production mechanism is motivated by the recent observed decays $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)+}K^-K^0$. One novel phenomenon is threshold enhancement of the kaon pair production. We show that these decays in the heavy quark…
Heavy quarks, such as charm and beauty, possess masses significantly larger than the characteristic energy scale of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and are thus predominantly produced in hard-scattering processes with large momentum transfer…
