Why is the B -> eta' X decay width so large ?
read the original abstract
New mechanism for the observed inclusive B -> \eta'X decay is suggested. We argue that the dominant contribution to this amplitude is due to the Cabbibo favored b -> \bar{c}cs process followed by the transition \bar{c}c -> \eta'. A large magnitude of the "intrinsic charm" component of \eta' is of critical importance in our approach. Our results are consistent with an unexpectedly large Br(B -> \eta'+X) \sim 10^{-3} recently announced by CLEO. We stress the uniqueness of this channel for 0^{-+} gluonia search.

A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays
A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.
