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…

In this work, we calculate the {\it CP}-averaged branching ratios and the polarization fractions of the charmless hadronic $B_c \to A_2 A_3$ decays within the framework of perturbative QCD(pQCD) approach, where $A$ is either a light $^3P_1$…
By assuming that the scalar meson $K_0^*(1430)$ belongs to the first excited states or the lowest lying ground states, we study the pure annihilation-type decays $B \to K_0^{*\pm}(1430)K^{(*)\mp}$ in the QCD factorization approach. Within…
Motivated by the potential prospects of the $B_{c}^{\ast}$ meson samples at hadron colliders, the bottom-changing $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ ${\psi}(1S,2S)P$, ${\eta}_{c}(1S,2S)P$ weak decays are first studied with the perturbative QCD…
In a sample of 19 million produced B mesons, we have observed the decays B -> eta K* and improved our previous measurements of B -> eta'K. The branching fractions we measure for these decay modes are BR(B+ -> eta K*+) = (26.4 +9.6-8.2 +-…
Hadronic charmless B decays to scalar mesons are studied within the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF). Considering two different scenarios for scalar mesons above 1 GeV, we find that the data favor the scenario in which the scalars…
Different from the previous treatment in a two-body framework, we introduce the dimeson distribution amplitudes (DAs) to describe the strong dynamics between the S-wave resonances $a_0(980, 1450)$ and the $K\bar K (\pi\eta)$ pair, where the…
$B^\pm \to (D^0, \bar D^0, D_{CP})K^{*\pm}_{0,2}$ decays are helpful in determining the CP violation angle $\gamma$, and we analyze these decay processes within the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization. We found that the…
The $B \to \kappa \bar \kappa$ decays are investigated for the first time in the perturbative QCD formalism based on the $k_T$ factorization theorem, where the light scalar $\kappa$ is assumed as a two-quark state. Our numerical results and…
We calculate $B_{(s)}$, and $D_{(s)}$ to $K^*_0(1430)$ transition form factors, and study semileptonic decays of $B_{(s)}$ and $D_{(s)}\to K_0^*(1430) \bar{\ell}\nu$ based on QCD sum rule. Measuring these semileptonic decays with high…
In this paper we study the semileptonic decays of $B_c^- \to (\eta_c,J/\psi)l^-\bar\nu_l$. We firstly evaluate the $B_c \to (\eta_c,J/\Psi)$ transition form factors $F_0(q^2)$, $F_+(q^2)$, $V(q^2)$ and $A_{0,1,2}(q^2)$ by employing the pQCD…
With heavy quark limit and hierarchy approximation $\lambda_{QCD}\ll m_D\ll m_B$, we analyze the $B\to D^0\bar D^0$ and $B_s\to D^0\bar D^0$ decays, which occur purely via annihilation type diagrams. As a roughly estimation, we calculate…
In this work, we use pQCD approach to calculate 20 $B_{(s)}\to D^*_{s0}(2317)P(V)$ two body decays by assuming $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ as a $\bar cs$ scalar meson, where $P(V)$ denotes a pseudoscalar (vector) meson. These $B_{(s)}$ decays can…
The decay rates for the exclusive B decays $B \rightarrow K \eta_c $ and $B \rightarrow K^* \eta_c$ are calculated in the context of the heavy quark effective theory. We obtain $\Gamma (B \rightarrow K \eta_c )/\Gamma (B\rightarrow K\psi…
