Abstract
We investigate the Glauber divergences in nonfactorizable annihilation amplitudes for two-body hadronic heavy meson decays in the kT factorization theorem at one-loop level. These divergences can be absorbed into the Glauber factors in the dominant kinematic regions of small parton momenta, which modify the interference between a nonfactorizable annihilation amplitude and other amplitudes by rotating it with a phase. We postulate that only the Glauber effect associated with a pion is significant, due to its special role as a qq̄ bound state and as a pseudo Nambu–Goldstone boson simultaneously. It is elaborated that the data of the D→ππ and πK branching ratios have revealed prominent Glauber effects. This work provides a solid theoretical ground for the factorization-assisted topological-amplitude parametrization of two-body hadronic D meson decays.
