Rescattering effects in b→ s processes

The measurements in b→ s penguin-dominated decays are widely recognized as promising avenues for searching for New Physics by studying the deviation from theoretical estimations within the Standard Model. However, most current estimations focus only on short-distance interactions, and the influence oflong-distance interactions may exclude the impact of new physics. This suggests that it is essential to estimate the long-distance contribution before probing New Physics in penguin-dominated decays. We highlights an oversight regarding long-distance interactions, which significantly contribute to the decay B_s→ K^*0K̅^*0. Both short-distance and long-distance interactions play crucial roles in this decay. We give estimations of the branching ratio and longitudinal polarization of B_s→ K^*0K̅^*0, which is consistent with experimental observations.
