B^0 \to \omega\eta^{(\prime)}$ and $\phi\eta^{(\prime)}$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach

Phys.Rev.D75:054033,2007 We calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for $B^0 \to\omega \eta $, $\omega \eta^\prime$, $\phi \eta$ and $\phi \eta^\prime$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. The pQCD predictions for the CP-averaged branching ratios are $Br(B^0 \to \omega\eta) = \left (2.7 ^{+1.1}_{-1.0})\times 10^{-7}$, $Br(B^0 \to \omega \eta^\prime) = \left (0.75 ^{+0.37}_{-0.33}) \times 10^{-7}$, and $Br(B^0 \to \phi\eta) = \left (6.3 ^{+3.3}_{-1.9}) \times 10^{-9}$, $Br(B^0 \to \phi\eta^{\prime}) = \left (7.3^{+3.5}_{-2.6}) \times 10^{-9}$ which are consistent with currently available experimental upper limits. The inclusion of the gluonic contribution can change the branching ratios of $B \to \omega(\phi) \eta^\prime$ decays by about 10%. The direct CP-violating asymmetries for $B^0 \to \omega \eta$ and $\omega \eta^\prime$ decays are generally large in size.
