Abstract

We evaluate BKπB\to K\pi decay amplitudes in perturbative QCD picture. It is found that penguin contributions are dynamically enhanced by nearly 50% compared to those assumed in the factorization approximation. It is also shown that annihilation diagrams are not negligible, and give large strong phases. Our results for branching ratios of BKπB\to K\pi decays for a representative parameter set are consistent with data. We evaluate BKπB\to K\pi decay amplitudes in perturbative QCD picture.
