The study of exclusive B decays in perturbative QCD are complicated by the endpoint problem. In order to perform the perturbative calculation, the Sudakov effects are introduced to regulate the endpoint singularity. We provide a systematic…
We compare the factorization approach, the perturbative QCD approach and the Beneke-Buchalla-Neubert-Sachrajda approach to nonleptonic charmless $B$ meson decays. We discuss their treatments of factorizable, nonfactorizable, and…
We study the first observed charmless $B\to VV$ modes, the $B\to\phi K^*$ decays, in perturbative QCD formalism. The obtained branching ratios $B(B\to\phi K^*)\sim 15 \times 10^{-6}$ are larger than $\sim 9\times 10^{-6}$ from QCD…
The problem of hadronic input in charmless nonleptonic B decays is discussed. QCD sum rules and their light-cone versions (LCSR) provide an important part of this input, such as the decay constant $f_B$ and $B\to \pi$ form factor. Employing…
I review the recent progress on the perturbative QCD approach to exclusive $B$ meson decays, discussing the comparison of collinear and $k_T$ factorizations, the CP asymmetry in the $B^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decay, penguin enhancement, the…
We propose a theoretical framework for analyzing three-body hadronic $B$ meson decays based on the perturbative QCD approach. The crucial nonperturbative input is a two-hadron distribution amplitude for final states, whose involved…

We analyze the charmless two-body decays of the $B$ meson into a pseudoscalar and a vector meson, referred to as $B\to PV$ decay, within the framework of the modified perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. Based on the conventional PQCD…
Inspired by the brilliant prospects of the ongoing $B$ meson experiments, the hadronic charmless $B$ ${\to}$ $SS$ decays are studied by considering the next-to-leading (NLO) contributions with the QCD factorization approach, where $S$…
We investigate exclusive nonleptonic $B$ meson decays $B\to\phi K$ in perturbative QCD formalism. It is shown that the end-point (logarithmic and linear) singularities in decay amplitudes do not exist, after $k_T$ and threshold resummations…
The QCD factorization (QCDF) method usually contains infrared divergences which introduce large model dependence to its predictions on charmless B decays. The amplitudes of charmless B decays can be decomposed into "tree" and "penguin"…
We show that the QCD factorization approach for $B$-meson decays to charmless hadronic two-body final states can be extended to include electromagnetic corrections. The presence of electrically charged final-state particles complicates the…
In this talk I report recent results on hadronic B decays obtained with the QCD factorization approach. In the first part I update the fit of the Wolfenstein parameters (\bar\rho,\bar\eta) to CP-averaged B -> pi pi, pi K branching…
In this work, based on the assumption of two-quark structure of the scalars, the charmless hadronic $B_c \to SP, SV$ decays(here, $S$, $P$, and $V$ denote the light scalar, pseudoscalar, and vector mesons, respectively) are investigated by…
We calculated the CP averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of two-body charmless hadronic Bs->PP,PV decays with the QCDF approach, including the contributions from the chirally enhanced power corrections and weak…
We derive the $k_T$ resummation for doubly heavy-flavored $B_c$ meson decays by including the charm quark mass effect into the known formula for a heavy-light system. The resultant Sudakov factor is employed in the perutrbative QCD study of…
We discuss a novel pertubative QCD approach on the exclusive non-leptonic two body B-meson decays. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues on the factorization approaches. We show numerical results which is…
We examine the applicability of perturbative QCD to $B$ meson decays into $D$ mesons. We find that the perturbative QCD formalism, which includes Sudakov effects at intermediate energy scales, is applicable to the semi-leptonic decay $B\to…
Exclusive decays of B and D mesons are discussed with the focus on the theoretical problem how to calculate the relevant hadronic matrix elements of weak operators in the framework of QCD sum rules. The three lectures are devoted to 1.…
In the framework of the perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless pure weak annihilation Bc->KK decay and find that the branching ratio BR(Bc->KK) O(10^-7). This prediction is so tiny that the Bc->KK decay might be unmeasurable at…
