Conceptual aspects of QCD factorization in hadronic B decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

I review the meaning of ``QCD factorization'' in hadronic two-body B decays and then discuss recent results of theoretical (rather than phenomenological) nature: the proof of factorization at two loops; the identification of ``chirally enhanced'' power corrections; and the role of annihilation contributions.
