Major new experimental efforts on detecting CP violation in $B$ decays will very soon go on the air. Recent developments suggest that final state interaction phases in exclusive decays of $B$ are unlikely to be small indicating the…
Using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the $B_{c}^{+} \rightarrow D^{0} K^{+}$ decay is observed with a…
Two aspects of hadronic B decays are investigated. Firstly, the supersymmetric enhancement of hadronic b decays by gluino penguin processes is studied through their effect on the Wilson coefficients of the effective Hamiltonian. Secondly,…
In the two-quark model supposition for the meson $a_0(1450)$, which can be viewed as either the first excited state (scenario I) or the lowest lying state (scenario II), the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for…
Radiative penguin decays provide an indirect probe for physics beyond the Standard Model and contribute to the determination of the CKM matrix elements. Copious quantities of B mesons produced at the B-Factories permit precision…
Recent rare $B \to PP$, $PV$ decay data suggest that factorization holds well if, contrary to current fits, one has $\cos\gamma < 0$ where $\gamma \equiv {\rm arg}(V_{ub}^*)$. We update previous results with light cone sum rule form…
We perform an isospin analysis of $B$ decays to two pseudoscalars. The analysis extracts appropriate CKM and short distance loop factors to allow for comparison of non-perturbative QCD effects in the reduced matrix elements of the…
In this work, we make a detailed analysis on the penguin-dominant processes $B_{(s)}^0 \to \phi\phi \to (K^+K^-)(K^+K^-)$ in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. In addition to the dominant $P$-wave resonance, the scalar background…
Within the framework of the perturbative QCD approach, we study the two-body charmless decays $B\to K_1(1270)(K_1(1400))\pi(K)$. We find the following results: (i) The decays $\bar B^0\to K_1(1270)^+\pi^-, K_1(1400)^+\pi^-$ are incompatible…
In this work, we studied the quasi-two-body decays $B_{(s)} \to \psi [K^*(892), K^*(1410),$ $K^*(1680)] \to \psi K\pi$ by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach, where the charmonia $\psi$ represents $J/\psi$ and…
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…
Based on the flavor structure of four-quark effective operators, we develop an automatic computation program to calculate hadronic two-body $B$ meson decay amplitudes, and apply it to their global analysis in the perturbative QCD (PQCD)…
In this paper, we will make systematic calculations for the branching ratios and the CP-violating asymmetries of the twenty one $\bar{B}^0_s \to PV $ decays by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach. Besides the full…
We underline the theoretical and experimental interest of the vector-vector penguin decays ${\rm \overline{B}}_{d,s} \to {\rm K^{*0} \overline{K}^{*0}}$ for which the data show a strong U-spin violation. Indeed, with the latest LHCb data…
We provide a comprehensive test of factorization in the heavy-heavy $B$ decays motivated by the recent experimental data from BELLE and BABAR collaborations. The penguin effects are not negligible in the B decays with two pseudoscalar…
Current data of charmless B meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons (PP) and one vector and one pseudoscalar mesons (VP) are analyzed within the framework of flavor SU(3) symmetry, a working principle that we have tested by allowing…
B-meson decays play an important role in flavour physics. The $B \rightarrow \pi K$ decays are dominated by QCD loop diagrams (penguins) but also electroweak penguins, where New Physics may enter, have a significant impact on the decay…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for $B^0 \to \pi^+\rho^-$, $B^0 \to \rho^+\pi^-$, $B^+ \to \rho^+\pi^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\rho^0$, $B^0 \to \pi^0\rho^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\omega$ and $B^0 \to \pi^0\omega$ decays, in a…
We study a relation between the weak phase $\gamma$ and the rates and CP asymmetries of several $K \pi$ decays of $B^+$, $B^0$, and $B_s$, emphasizing the impact of the latter measurements. Current data indicate large SU(3) breaking in the…
We suggest a new technique to determine the CKM phase $\gamma$ {\em without} neglecting the (soft) final state rescattering effects. We use (time integrated) $B$ meson decay rates to $\pi$'s and $K$'s. A set of 5 $\Delta S = 0$ (or 1…
