Branching Fractions and Direct CP Violation in Hadronic 3-body B decays Hai-Yang Cheng Academia Sinica, Taipei in collaboration with Chun-Khiang Chua ICHEP, Valencia, July 4, 2014
Introduction • Many charmless three-body B decays have been studied at B factories and LHCb (with Dalitz-plot analyses for many of Bu,d decay modes). Most with BFs ~ 10-5 (BFs ~ 10-6 for B KK & Bs KKK) • useful for extracting CKM angles & CP violation • A(B→P1P2P3) = resonant + nonresonant (NR) All the quasi-2-body B decays, B→VP, SP (except 00, ) are extracted from Dalitz plot analysis of 3-body decays • NR signal is less than 10% in D decays. Is this also true in B decays ? (LHCb)
Direct CP asymmetries (3-body) LHCb (’13) found evidence of inclusive CP asymmetry in B-+--, K+K-K-, K+K-- Large asymmetries observed in localized regions of p.s. ACP(KK) = -0.6480.0700.0130.007 for mKK2 <1.5 GeV2 ACP(KKK) = -0.2260.0200.0040.007 for 1.2< mKK, low2 <2.0 GeV2, mKK, high2 <15 GeV2 ACP() = 0.5840.0820.0270.007 for m, low2 <0.4 GeV2, m, high2 > 15 GeV2 ACP(K) = 0.6780.0780.0320.007 for 0.08< m, low2 <0.66 GeV2, mK2 <15 GeV2
B- K-+- ACP(K) = 0.0320.0080.0040.007 inclusive ACP(K) = 0.6780.0780.0320.007 for 0.08< m, low2 <0.66 GeV2, mK2 <15 GeV2
Three-body B decays Two striking features: 1. Large NR fractions in penguin-dominated modes Nonresonant fraction (%) KKK: 70-90% K: 35-40% by Belle, 20% by BaBar K0: 15-20% : 35% NR contributions are essential in penguin-dominated B decays One of our goals is to identify the origin of NR signals HYC, Chua, Soni (’07)
2. A new broad scalar resonance fX(1500) ? A broad scalar resonance fX(1500) [or X(1550) by BaBar] has been seen in K+K+K-, K+K-KS, K+K-- at energies ~1.5 GeV. It cannot be identified with f0(1500). So what is its nature ? Production puzzle: The fraction of fX(1500) in K+K+K- is ~120% by BaBar and 63% by Belle, whereas it is 4% in K+K-KS by BaBar BaBar(’06) Belle(’04) B+→K+K+K- B0→K+K-K0 New angular momentum analysis by BaBar (’12) fX(1500) is a sum of f0(1500), f0(1710) & f’2(1525) and no more production puzzle 6
Most of theory studies focus only on either resonant or NR effects • We take the factorization approximation as a working hypothesis to discuss resonant & NR contributions Three factorizable amplitudes for B0→K+K-K0 • current-induced process: <B0→K0><0→K+K-> • transition process: <B0 →K-K0><0→K+> • annihilation process: <B0→0><0→K+K-K0> b→u b→s

NR rates for tree-dominated B→KK, will become too large For example, Br(B-→K+K--)NR = 3310-6 larger than total BF, 510-6 ⇒HMChPT is applicable only to soft mesons ! • Ways of improving the use of HMChPT have been suggested before • We write tree-induced NR amplitude as Fajfer et al; Yang, HYC,… p2 p1 -- HMChPT is recovered in soft meson limit, p1, p2→0 -- The parameter NR» 1/(2mB) is constrained from B-→+--

<K+K-|qq|0> can be related to the kaon’s e.m. form factors ch, x1, x2 fitted from kaon e.m. data Chua,Hou,Shiau,Tsai (’03) motivated by asymptotic constraint from QCD counting rules Brodsky, Farrar (’75) The fitted ch agrees with the model (~ decay constant strong coupling) NR exp[i/4](3.39+0.18-0.21) GeV NR from K+K- spectrum of K+K-KS from KSKSKS rate 11
The decay amplitude of B0 K+K-K0 consists of two pieces: • Nonresonant: <B0K+K-><0K0> • <B0K0><0K+K-> • (<B0K0><0 K+K->)penguin • Resonant:B0f0K0K+K-K0 , f0 = f0(980), f0(1500), f0(1710),… • B0VK0K+K-K0, V =, , ,… Weak phase: CKM matrix elements Strong phases: (i) effective Wilson coefficients (ii) propagator (s - m2 + im)-1 (iii) matrix element <M1M2|qq|0> for NR contribution in the penguin sector
B-→K+K-K- BF(10-6) theory errors: (NR) , (ms, NR, form factors), () calculable for the first time • Large NR rate is penguin-dominated and governed by <K+K-|ss|0>NR NR rates: mostly from b→s (via <KK|ss|0>) and a few percentages from b→u transitions
We predict a larger rate of +-0 than +-- as the former receives and 0 resonant contributions with BF of order 2010-6, while only 0 to the latter. • Belle (’13): BF(B0 K+ K-0) = (2.170.65)10-6 is a surprise ! Recall BF(B- K+K--) = (5.00.7)10-6 At short-distance level, we obtain BF ~ 510-8 Long-distance contribution due to B0+-0 followed by +- K+K- rescattering BF 510-7
Inclusive direct CP asymmetries HYC,Chua,Soni (`’07) Relative signs between K-K+K- & -+- and between K-+- & -K+K- agree with experiment & U-spin symmetry (s d) predictions: Xu, Li, He; Bhattacharya, Gronau, Rosner However, relative signs between -K+K- & -+- and between K-+- & K-K+K- disagree with the data
Correlation seen by LHCb: ACP(K-K+K-) – ACP(K-+-), ACP(-K+K-) – ACP(-+-) It has been conjectured that CPT theorem & final-state rescattering of +- K+K- may play important roles Bediaga et al FSI Fit to B-K-+- U-spin symmetry U-spin symmetry which relates <K|sd|0> to <KK|ss|0> is badly broken

BFs & CP violation in 3-body Bs decays LHCb made first observation of three charmless 3-body Bs decays Penguin-dominated (10-6) (10-6) Tree-dominated • Penguin-dominated modes K0K-+, K0K+- have largest rates, dominated by K*0(1430) resonances • Tree-dominated mode K+K-K0 is predicted to have BF ~ 1.410-6 ACP(K0K+K-) - 2ACP(K0+-) 19
U-spin symmetry relations They cannot be tested by the present available data, but can be checked by dynamical calculations. U-spin relations are generally not well respected as U-spin symmetry is sometimes badly broken
Conclusions • Three-body B decays receive sizable NR contributions governed by the matrix elements of scalar densities. • Three sources of strong phases responsible for direct CP violation in 3-body B decays. • It is important to pin down the mechanism responsible for large local CP asymmetries.
