f0(1710) production in exclusive B decays

Production of f0(1710), a theoretical endeavor of pure scalar glueball state, is studied in detail from exclusive rare B decay within the framework of perturbative QCD. The branching fraction for B±→K∗±f0(1710)→K∗±(KK¯) is estimated to be about 8×10−6, while for B±→K±f0(1710)→K±(KK¯) it is smaller by roughly an order of magnitude. With the accumulation of almost 1 billion BB¯ pairs from the BaBar and Belle experiments to date, hunting for a scalar glueball via these rare decay modes should be attainable.
