Abstract

We include the \$\eta\_c\$ meson into the \$\eta\$-\$\eta'\$-\$G\$ mixing formalism constructed in our previous work, where \$G\$ represents the pseudoscalar gluball. The mixing angles in this tetramixing matrix are constrained by theoretical and experimental implications from relevant hadronic processes. Especially, the angle between \$\eta\_c\$ and \$G\$ is found to be about \$15^\circ\$ from the measured decay width of the \$\eta\_c\$ meson. The pseudoscalar glueball mass \$m\_G\$, and the pseudoscalar densities \$m\_qq,ss,cc\$ and the U(1) anomaly matrix elements associated with the mixed states are solved from the anomalous Ward identities. The solution \$m\_G1.4\$ GeV obtained from the \$\eta\$-\$\eta'\$-\$G\$ mixing is confirmed, while \$m\_qq\$ grows to above the pion mass, and thus increases perturbative QCD (PQCD) predictions for the branching ratios \$Br(B\to\eta'K)\$. We then analyze the \$\eta\_c\$-mixing effects on charmonium magnetic dipole transitions, and on the \$B\to\eta^(\prime)K\_S\$ branching ratios and CP asymmetries, which further improve the consistency between theoretical predictions and data. A predominant observation is that the \$\eta\_c\$ mixing enhances the PQCD predictions for \$Br(B\to\eta'K)\$ by 20\%, but does not alter those for \$Br(B\toK)\$. The puzzle due to the large \$Br(B\to\eta'K)\$ data is then resolved.
