Two--Body Decays of $B_s$ Mesons

Abstract

We have calculated the decay rates of the $B_s$ meson in a number of exclusive two--body decay channels using the Bauer--Stech--Wirbel model for current matrix elements. The influence of the free parameters of the model on the predictions is studied. The total branching ratio of the $B_s$ into final states which only contain stable charged particles is found to be about $10^{-3}$.
