Possible large directCPasymmetry in hadronicB±π±ηdecays

Abstract
We calculate the branching ratio and direct CP asymmetry in nonleptonic two body B decays B^+- ->\pi^+- \eta'. It is shown that the tree diagram and gluon fusion mechanism via penguin diagram have comparable contributions to these decays which, as a result, could provide an interesting venue for investigating CP violation. Our estimate shows that the direct CP asymmetry in the above decays could be as large as 75% which along with a branching ratio B(B^- ->\pi^- \eta')=3.4 X 10^{-6} should be accessible to experiment in the near future.Comment: 13 pages, Revtex, 4 figures (included
