Why is the B -> eta' X decay width so large ?
Igor Halperin, Ariel Zhitnitsky
Abstract
New mechanism for the observed inclusive B -> η'X decay is suggested. We argue that the dominant contribution to this amplitude is due to the Cabbibo favored b -> ccs process followed by the transition cc -> η'. A large magnitude of the "intrinsic charm" component of η' is of critical importance in our approach. Our results are consistent with an unexpectedly large Br(B -> η'+X) 10-3 recently announced by CLEO. We stress the uniqueness of this channel for 0-+ gluonia search.
