Implications on η-η'-glueball mixing from Bd/s J/ η(') Decays

Abstract

We point out that the recent Belle measurements of the Bd/s J/ η(') decays imply large pseudoscalar glueball contents in the η() meson. These decays are studied in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, considering the η-η'-G mixing, where G represents the pseudoscalar glueball. It is shown that the PQCD predictions for the Bd/s J/ η(') branching ratios agree well with the data for the mixing angle φG≈ 30 between the flavor-singlet state and the pure pseudoscalar glueball. Extending the formalism to the η-η'-G-ηc tetramixing, the abnormally large observed Bd Kη' branching ratios are also explained. The proposed mixing formalism is applicable to other heavy meson decays into η() mesons, and could be tested by future LHCb and Super-B factory data.
