Description

By employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach, we study the quasi-two-body B(s)0 → ηc(2S)π+π- decays, where the pion pair comes from the S-wave resonance f0(X). The Breit-Wigner formula for the f0(500) and f0(1500) resonances and the Flatt'e model for the f0(980) resonance are adopted to parameterize the time-like scalar form factors in the two-pion distribution amplitudes. As a comparison, Bugg's model is also used for the wide f0(500) in this work. For decay rates, we found the following PQCD predictions: (a)B(Bs0 → ηc(2S)f0(X)[π+π-]s) = 2.67-1.08+1.78 × 10-5 when the contributions from f0(980) and f0(1500) are all taken into account; (b)B(B0 → ηc(2S)f0(500)[π+π-]s) = 1.40-0.56+0.92 × 10-6 in the Breit-Wigner model and 1.53-0.61+0.97 × 10-6 in Bugg's model.
