Abstract
The final states for the processb→sy have been extensively discussed in the literature. Similarly-detailed analyses for the caseb→s gluon have not been performed. Generally this process is searched for in 2-body decays such as B0→K+ π −. We present simple arguments to suggest that most of the time the quark-level process will give rise to final states with rather high multiplicities. Comments are made about the applicability of these results tob→d gluon and hadronicb→u decays.
