Abstract

The rare decay B0ϕϕB^0 \to \phi\phi can occur only via penguin annihilation topology in the standard model. We calculate this channel in the perturbative QCD approach. The predicted branching ratio is very small at (10810^{-8}). We also give the polarization fractions, which shows that the transverse polarization contribution is comparable to the longitudinal one, due to a big transverse contribution from factorizable diagrams. The small branching ratio in SM, makes it sensitive to any new physics contributions.
