11
Data Previous studies based on naïve or generalized factorization predict rates typically too small by 1-2 orders of magnitude compared to experiment dominated by BaBar, f 2 K modes are due to Belle

12 Penguin-dominated B TP
13
13 Beyond naïve factorization, contributions f T defined from local currents involving covariant derivatives can be produced from nonfactorizable contributions such as vertex, penguin and hard spectator corrections B - K 2 *0 vanishes in naïve factorization, while its BR is measured to be ~ 5.6 10 -6 importance of nonfactorizble effects Penguin annihilation is needed in QCDF to account for rates & CP asymmetries TP =0.83, TP = -70 o PT =0.75, PT = -30 o similar to the parameters for B PP

Kim et al. obtained Br(B K 2 * ’)/Br(B K 2 * ) ~ 45, while it is ~ 2 experimentally. This is because the matrix elements do not have correct chiral limit behavior due to anomaly and should be replaced by

18 Rate puzzle in B K 2 * decays It is naively expected that Experimentally, Br(B K 2 * ) Br(B K 2 * ). This can be accommodated by having penguin annihilation such that (K 2 * ) >> ( K 2 * ). But why ? What is the dynamical origin ?
19
19 Polarization puzzle in charmless B→VV decays Why is f T so sizable ~ 0.5 in penguin-dominated B K * , K * , K *0 0 decays ? In transversity basis 19 A 00 >> A -- >> A ++
20
20 constructive (destructive) interference in A - (A 0 ) ⇒ f L 0.58 NLO corrections alone can lower f L and enhance f T significantly ! Beneke,Rohere,Yang HYC,Yang Although f L is reduced to 60% level, polarization puzzle is not completely resolved as the predicted rate, BR 4.3 10 -6, is too small compared to the data, ~ 10 10 -6 for B →K * Kagan (S-P)(S+P) (S-P)(S+P) penguin annihilation contributes to A -- & A 00 with similar amount
21
21 Polarization puzzle in B K 2 * f L (K 2 *+ ) = 0.56 0.11, f L (K 2 *0 ) = 0.45 0.12, f L (K 2 *+ ) = 0.80 0.10, f L (K 2 *0 ) = 0.901 +0.059 -0.069 f L (K 2 * ) = 0.88, 0.72, 0.48 for A TV = -30 o, -45 o, -60 o, f L (K 2 * )= 0.68, 0.66, 0.64 for A VT = -30 o, -45 o, -60 o In QCDF, f L is very sensitive to the phase A TV for B K 2 * , but not so sensitive to A VT for B K 2 * Why is f T / f L <<1 for B K 2 * and f T /f L 1 for B K 2 * ? Rates & polarization fractions can be accommodated in QCDF BaBar but no dynamical explanation is offered Why is that f T behaves differently in K 2 * and K * ?
22
22 Conclusions Tensor meson cannot be created from local V-A current, but its decay constant can be defined through non-local current or local current with covariant derivative. Some decays e.g. B - K 2 *0 - prohibited in naïve factorization receive sizable nonfactorizable corrections Predictions of QCD factorization in general agree with experiment for B TM (M=P,V), but there remains puzzles to be resolved: rate of K 2 * and polarization of K 2 *
