Implications of recent B0-->D(*)0X0 measurements
Abstract
The recent measurements of the color-suppressed modes B0-->D(*)0π0 imply nonvanishing relative final-state interaction (FSI) phases among various Bbar-->Dπ decay amplitudes. Depending on whether or not FSIs are implemented in the topological quark-diagram amplitudes, two solutions for the parameters a1 and a2 are extracted from data using various form-factor models. It is found that \|a2(Dπ)\|~0.35-0.60 and \|a2(D*π)\|~0.25-0.50 with a relative phase of order 60° between a1 and a2. If FSIs are not included in quark-diagram amplitudes from the outset, aeff2/aeff1 and aeff2 will become smaller. The large value of \|a2(Dπ)\| compared to \|aeff2(Dπ)\| or naive expectation implies the importance of long-distance FSI contributions to color-suppressed internal W emission via final-state rescatterings of the color-allowed tree amplitude.
