Abstract: (APS)
In this paper we make a systematic study of the semileptonic decays B/Bs→(η,η′,G)(l+l-,lν¯,νν¯) by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. The next-to-leading-order (NLO) contributions to the relevant form factors are included, and the ordinary η-η′ mixing scheme and the η-η′-G mixing scheme are considered separately, where G denotes a pseudoscalar glueball. The numerical results and the phenomenological analysis indicate that (a) the NLO contributions to the relevant form factors provide 25% enhancement to the leading-order pQCD predictions for the branching ratios Br(B-→η(′)l-ν¯l), leading to a good agreement between the predictions and the data; (b) for all considered decays, the pQCD results are basically consistent with those from other different theoretical models; (c) the pQCD predictions in the two considered mixing schemes agree well with each other within theoretical errors. The outcomes presented here can be tested by LHCb and forthcoming Super-B experiments.
