Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the contributions of hard spectator scattering and annihilation in $B$ $\to$ $PV$ decays within QCD factorization framework. With available experimental data on $B$ $\to$ $\piK^\ast$, $\rhoK$, $\pi\rho$ and $K\phi$ decays, comprehensive $\chi^2$ analyses on parameters $X_A,H^i,f$ or ($\rho_A,H^i,f$, $\phi_A,H^i,f$) are performed, where $X_A^f$ ($X_A^i$) and $X_H$ are used to parameterize the endpoint divergences of the (non)factorizable annihilation and hard spectator scattering amplitudes, respectively. From $\chi^2$ analyses, it is found that (1) the topology-dependent parameterization is feasible for $B$ $\to$ $PV$ decays; (2) A relatively small value of inverse moment parameter $łambda_B$ $\sim$ 0.2 GeV for $B$ meson wave function is allowed by $B$ $\to$ $PP$, $PV$ decays; (3) At present accurate level of experimental measurements and theoretical evaluations, $X_H$ $=$ $X_A^i$ is a good simplification, but $X_H$ $\neq$ $X_A^f$ at $68\%$ C. L.; (4) With the simplification $X_H$ $=$ $X_A^i$, parameters $X_A^f$ and $X_A^i$ should be treated individually, and their accessible spaces are clearly separated. The above-mentioned findings are very similar to the case in $B$ $\to$ $PP$ decays. Numerically, we get $(\rho_A,H^i,\phi_A,H^i^\circ) = (3.08^+1.21_-1.34, -145^+20_-11)$ and $(\rho_A^f,\phi_A^f^\circ) = (0.83^+0.14_-0.12, -36^+11_-8)$ at $68\%$ C. L. for $B$ $\to$ $PV$ decays. With the best-fit parameters, all results for observables of $B$ $\to$ $PV$ decays agree with experimental data within errors. The forthcoming refined measurements at LHCb and SuperB factory are highly expected to further understand the hard spectator scattering and annihilation corrections.
