$D_{(s)}^{*}(\bar{D}_{(s)}^{*})T$ decays in perturbative QCD approach    [PDF]

In perturbative QCD approach, we investigate the $B(B_{s})\rightarrow D_{(s)}(\bar{D}_{(s)})\,T$ and $D_{(s)}^{*}(\bar{D}_{(s)}^{*})\,T$ decays, which include the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) favored decays and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-suppressed decays, where T denotes a light tensor meson. From our calculation, we find that the nonfactorizable emission diagrams and the annihilation type diagrams are important, especially for those color suppressed channels. For those decays with a tensor meson emitted, the factorizable emission diagrams vanish owing to the fact that a tensor meson can not be produced through the local (V-A) or tensor current. The numerical results show that the predictions for the branching ratios of considered charmed B decays are in the range of $10^{-4}$ to $10^{-6}$ for those CKM-favored decays (governed by $|V_{cb}|$) and in the range of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-8}$ for those CKM-suppressed decays (governed by $|V_{ub}|$). We also predict large transverse polarization contributions in many of the $B(B_{s}) \rightarrow D_{(s)}^{\ast}(\bar{D}_{(s)}^{*})T$ decay channels.
