How to employ $\bar{B}^0_d \to J/\psi(\pi\eta,\bar{K}K)$ decays to extract information on $\pi\eta$ scattering

Understand

We demonstrate that dispersion theory allows one to deduce crucial information on $\pi\eta$ scattering from the final-state interactions of the light mesons visible in the spectral distributions of the decays $\bar{B}^0_d \to J/\psi(\pi^0\eta,K^+K^-,K^0\bar{K}^0)$.

• Thus high-quality measurements of these differential observables are highly desired.
• The corresponding rates are predicted to be of the same order of magnitude as those for $\bar{B}^0_d \to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ measured recently at LHCb, letting the corresponding measurement appear feasible.
