Abstract:
We calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of a number of two-body charmless hadronic decays Bs0ˉPP,PV,VV\bar{B_s^0} \to PP, PV, VV in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach to leading order in αs\alpha_s (here PP and VV denote light pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively). The mixing-induced CP violation parameters are also calculated for these decays. We also predict the polarization fractions of BsVVB_s \to VV decays and find that the transverse polarizations are enhanced in some penguin dominated decays such as Bs0ˉKKˉ\bar{B_s^0} \to K ^{*}\bar{K^{*}}, KρK ^{*}\rho. Some of the predictions worked out here can already be confronted with the recently available data from the CDF collaboration on the branching ratios for the decays Bs0ˉK+π \bar{B_s^0} \to K^+\pi^-, Bs0ˉK+K \bar{B_s^0} \to K^+K^- and the CP-asymmetry in the decay Bs0ˉK+π \bar{B_s^0} \to K^+\pi^-, and are found to be in agreement within the current errors. A large number of predictions for the branching ratios, CP-asymmetries and vector-meson polarizations in Bs0ˉ\bar{B_s^0} decays, presented in this paper and compared with the already existing results in other theoretical frameworks, will be put to stringent experimental tests in forthcoming experiments at Fermilab, LHC and Super B-factories.
