Abstract:
With the perturbative QCD approach based on kTk_T factorization, we study the pure annihilation type radiative decays B0ϕγB^0 \to \phi\gamma and B0J/ψγB^0\to J/\psi \gamma. We find that the branching ratio of B0ϕγB^0 \to \phi\gamma is (2.70.60.6+0.3+1.2)×1011(2.7^{+0.3+1.2}_{-0.6-0.6})\times10^{-11}, which is too small to be measured in the current BB factories of BaBar and Belle. The branching ratio of B0J/ψγB^0\to J/\psi \gamma is (4.50.50.6+0.6+0.7)×107({4.5^{+0.6+0.7}_{-0.5-0.6}})\times10^{-7}, which is just at the corner of being observable in the BB factories. A larger branching ratio BR(Bs0J/ψγ)5×106BR(B_s^0 \to J/\psi \gamma) \simeq 5 \times 10^{-6} is also predicted. These decay modes will help us testing the standard model and searching for new physics signals.
