Applying the dispersion approach we compute perturbative QCD corrections to the power suppressed soft contribution of $B \to \gamma \ell \nu$ at leading twist. QCD factorization for the $B \to \gamma^{\ast}$ form factors is demonstrated…
In this study, the nonleptonic two-body $B$ decays into two tensor mesons (including $a_2(1320)$, $K^*_2(1430)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f^\prime_2(1525)$, denoted generically as $T$) are investigated in the QCD factorization approach. The branching…
In the framework of the factorization approach we calculate the branching fractions of 100 two-body nonleptonic decay channels in total, including 44 channels of the charm meson decays and 56 channels of the bottom meson decays. For charm…

We apply Soft-Collinear Effective Theory to prove at leading power in Lambda_QCD/m_b a factorization formula for the radiative leptonic decay B -> gamma l nu. Large logarithms entering the hard-scattering kernel are systematically resummed…
We study the radiative decay B -> gamma l nu_l in the framework of QCD factorization. We demonstrate explicitly that, in the heavy-quark limit and at one-loop order in perturbation theory, the amplitude does factorize, i.e. that it can be…
We derive a factorization theorem for the structure-dependent QED effects in the weak exclusive process $B^-\to\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$, i.e., effects probing the internal structure of the $B$ meson. The derivation requires a careful treatment…
We describe a chiral formalism for processes involving both energetic hadrons and soft Goldstone bosons, which extends the application of soft-collinear effective theory to multibody B decays. The nonfactorizable helicity amplitudes for…
