B^- to K^- chi_{c0} decay from charmed meson rescattering
read the original abstract
We study the process $B^- \to K^- \chi_{c0}$ considering intermediate charmed meson rescattering effects. For this decay mode the naive factorization ansatz would predict a vanishing amplitude. We estimate contributions from the $D^{(*)}_{s} D^{(*)}\to K^- \chi_{c0}$ rescattering amplitudes, and compare the result with recent experimental measurements. We find that rescattering effects are able to produce a large branching ratio consistent with measurements by Belle Collaboration. We also consider rescattering effects in $B^- \to K^- J/\psi$, arguing that they play a similar role in producing a large branching fraction for this colour-suppressed decay mode.

Study of $\chi_{cJ}\to \eta \eta \eta^\prime$ via intermediate charmed meson loop mechanisms and its implications for non-observation of $\eta_1(1855)$ in $\chi_{cJ}$ decays
Charmed-meson loop calculations reproduce the branching fractions of chi_cJ to eta eta eta' and the absence of eta1(1855) signal in the eta eta' spectrum.
