Abstract

Motivated by the rapid development of heavy-flavor experiments, phenomenological studies of nonleptonic Bˉd,sDd,sV\bar{B}_{d,s} \to D^{*}_{d,s} V and Bˉd,sDd,sV\bar{B}_{d,s}^* \to D_{d,s} V~(V=ρ,KV=\rho\,,K^*) decays are performed within the framework of QCD Factorization. Relative to previous works, the QCD corrections to the transverse amplitudes are evaluated at next-to-leading order. The theoretical predictions of the observables are updated. For the measured Bˉd,sDd,sV\bar{B}_{d,s} \to D^{*}_{d,s} V decays, two tensions between theoretical results and experimental measurements, {\it i.e.} "RdsVR_{ds}^{V} puzzle" and "DVD^{*} V~(or RV/νˉR_{V/\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell}) puzzle", are presented after detailed analyses. For the Bˉd,sDd,sV\bar{B}_{d,s}^* \to D_{d,s} V decays, they have relatively large branching fractions of the order O(109)\gtrsim{\cal O}(10^{-9}) and are in the scope of Belle-II and LHCb experiments. Moreover, they also provide a way to crosscheck the above-mentioned possible puzzles through the similar ratios RdsVR_{ds}^{\prime V} and RV/νˉR_{V/\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell}^{\prime}. More refined experimental measurements and theoretical efforts are required to confirm or refute such two anomalies.
