Abstract

Using the PQCD method we calculate the W-exchange and the W-annihilation processes of B mesons, which in general involve a charm quark or anti-quark in the final state. The nonvanishing amplitudes of these processes are found to be suppressed by a factor of mc/mbm_c/m_b compared to the tree or the time-like penguin processes, but some of them are within the reach of observation at the future B-factories, and Bˉd0Ds+K\bar B_d^0 \to D^+_s K^- whose branching ratio is found to be 6.6×1066.6 \times 10^{-6} can be found even before the B-factory era. Comparisons with the results based on the BSW model are also given.
