Abstract
It is pointed out that decays of the type BâDD¯ have no factorizable contributions, unless at least one of the charmed mesons in the final state is a vector meson. The dominant contributions to the decay amplitudes arise from chiral loop contributions and tree level amplitudes generated by soft gluon emissions forming a gluon condensate. We predict that the branching ratios for the processes B¯0âDs+Dsâ, B¯0âDs+*Dsâ and B¯0âDs+Dsâ* are all of order (3â4)Ã10â4, while B¯0âDs+*Dsâ* has a branching ratio 5 to 10 times bigger. We emphasize that the branching ratios are sensitive to 1/mc corrections.
