I discuss QCD sum rules determinations of the form factors governing the decay $B \to \pi (\rho) \ell \nu$. For some of these form factors the computed dependence on the momentum transferred does not agree with the expectation from the…

In this work, we investigate those $B_{c}\rightarrow D^{(*)}T$ decays in perturbative QCD approach, based on $k_T$ factorization, where T denotes a light tensor meson. For all decays considered in this work, there are no contributions from…

We use the Bodwin-Braaten-Lepage factorization scheme to separate the long- and short-distance factors that contribute to the decay rates of $\Upsilon$, $\eta_b$ (S-wave) and $\chi_b$,$h_b$ (P-wave). The long distance matrix elements are…

The $B \to K^{*}\rho$, $ K^{*}\omega$ decays are useful to determine the CKM angle $\phi_3=\gamma$. Their polarization fractions are also interesting since the polarization puzzle of the $B\to \phi K^*$ decay. We study these decays in the…

We calculate the branching ratio and $CP$ violations for $B\to K\pi$ decays in a modified perturbative QCD approach based on $k_{T}$ factorization. The resummation effect of the transverse momentum regulates the endpoint singularity. Using…

The factorization theorem in Decays of $B_{(s)}$ mesons to two charmed mesons (both pseudoscalar and vector) can still be proved in the leading order in $m_D/m_B$ and $\Lambda_{\rm{QCD}}/m_D$ expansion. Working in the perturbative QCD…

We apply the method of QCD light-cone sum rules to calculate nonfactorizable contributions to the B -> J/psi K decay and estimate soft nonfactorizable corrections to the a_2 parameter. The corrections appear to be positive, favoring the…

We show that, in the heavy quark limit, the hadronic matrix elements that enter $B$ meson decays into two light mesons can be computed from first principles, including `non-factorizable' strong interaction corrections, and expressed in…

We study $B\to \phi K$ and $B\to \phi X_s$ decays in the heavy quark limit using perturbative QCD. The next leading order corrections introduce substantial modifications to the naive factorization results (more than 50%). The branching…

With the accurate measurements of $\chi _{cJ}(J=0,1,2)$ charmonium decays, we explore $\chi _{cJ}\to \mathcal{B}_{8}\bar{\mathcal{B}}_{8}$ and $\mathcal{B}_{10}\bar{\mathcal{B}}_{10}$ decays based on the SU(3) flavor symmetry model, where…
