Study of color suppressed modes $B^0 \to \bar D^{(*)0} \eta^{(\prime)} $

Abstract

The color suppressed modes $B^0 \to \bar D^{(*)0} \eta^{(\prime)} $ are analyzed in perturbative QCD approach. We find that the dominant contribution is from the non-factorizable diagrams. The branching ratios calculated in our approach for $B^0 \to \bar D^{(*)0} \eta $ agree with current experiments. By neglecting the gluonic contribution, we predict the branching ratios of $B^0 \to \bar D^{(*)0} \eta'$ are at the comparable size of $B^0 \to \bar D^{(*)0} \pi^0$, but smaller than that of $B^0 \to \bar D^{(*)0} \eta $.
