Importance of Higher Twist Effects to Understand Charmed Color-Suppressed B Decays

Working within the framework of the QCD light cone sum rules (LCSR), we compute and discuss the nonfactorizable higher twist effect in $\bar{B}^0\to D^{*0}\pi^0$ to make an all-around examination of its role in the charmed color-suppressed B decays. Analogously to the case of $\bar{B}^0\to D^{0}\pi^0$, such effect turns out to be of the same strong phase as the factorizable amplitude, and modifies constructively the magnitude by order $(40-90)%$ so that the effective coefficient $a_2^{f}=C_1+C_2/3$ receives a positive correction comparable numerically with it. Nonleading as the soft effect in question is, our findings for it, along with the previous LCSR analyses of $\bar{B}^0\to D^{0}\pi^0$, are suggestive of the dominance of soft exchanges in these charmed color suppressed B decays. Also, the emphases are put on importance of understanding intensively various related higher twist and transverse momentum effects to interpret the data on $B \to D^{0(*0)}(\pi^0,\eta,\eta'),J/\psi K^{(*)}$.
