We argue that the dominant contribution to this amplitude is due to the Cabbibo favored b -> \\bar{c}cs process followed by the transition \\bar{c}c -> \\eta'. A large magnitude of the \"intrinsic charm\" component of \\eta' is of critical importance in our approach. Our results are consistent with an unexpectedly large Br(B -> \\eta'+X) \\sim 10^{-3} recently announced by CLEO. We stress the uniqueness of this channel for 0^{-+} gluonia search.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-09-08T22:38:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "decay width", "gluonia search", "intrinsic charm", "dominant contribution", "unexpectedly large br" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
