We review and update the branching ratios for the $B \to (\rho,\omega) \gamma$ decays, calculated in the QCD factorization approach in the next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ and to leading power in $\Lambda_{\rm…
The perturbative QCD approach is based on $k_T$ factorization, including the Sudakov form factors so that to avoid the endpoint singularity. In this approach, we calculate the charmless B decays like $B\to \pi\pi$ decays etc. to produce the…
The partial decay rate $\Gamma(Z\to b\bar{b})$ is significantly influenced by the mass of the top quark due to electroweak radiative corrections. The leading $\sim m_t^2$ and the next-to-leading contribution $\sim \ln m_t^2$ are known to be…

In this note, we present the result for the QCD corrections to the decay of the Higgs boson into two photons in the large-$\beta_0$ limit of QCD, providing the first two terms in the heavy-top expansion. From our results, one can easily…
We describe a first-principles method to apply lattice QCD to compute the order $\alpha_{\mathrm{EM}}$ corrections to $K\to\pi\ell\nu_\ell$ decay. This method formulates the calculation in infinite volume with the conventional…
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…
Exclusive semileptonic Lambda_b decays to excited charmed Lambda_c baryons are investigated at order Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q in the heavy quark effective theory. The differential decay rates are analyzed for the J^\pi=1/2^- Lambda_c(2593) and the…
We consider the color suppressed (nonfactorizable) amplitude for the decay mode $\bar{B_{d}^0} \rightarrow \pi^0 \pi^{0} $. We treat the $b$-quark in the heavy quark limit and the energetic light ($u,d,s$) quarks within a variant of Large…
The experimental and theoretical status of the inclusive decay B -> X_s gamma is briefly summarized. Results from a very recent theoretical analysis are reported. An ~11% increase in the SM prediction for BR[ B -> X_s gamma] is found after…
In this paper the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to $B_c$ meson exclusive decays to S-wave charmonia and light pseudoscalar or vector mesons, i.e. $\pi$, $K$, $\rho$, and $K^*$, are performed within non-relativistic (NR) QCD…
We argue that double logarithmic corrections $\alpha_s\ln^2 x$ need to be resumed in perturbative QCD factorization theorem for exclusive $B$ meson decays, when the end-point region with a momentum fraction $x\to 0$ is important. These…
The hadronic decays $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ are interesting because experimentally they are the only color-suppressed modes which have been measured, and theoretically they are calculable by QCD factorization even the emitted meson $J\psi$ is…
We investigate $\ovar{B^0} \to D_s^- \pi^+$ decay in perturbative QCD approach which has recently been applied to $B$ meson decays. $\ovar{B^0} \to D_s^- \pi^+$ decay (and its charge conjugated mode) can be one of the hopeful modes to…
The $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude is an important non-perturbative quantity arising in the factorization of the amplitudes for many exclusive decays of $B$ mesons, such as $B^-\to\gamma\,\ell^-\bar\nu$. We reconsider the…
Applications of QCD factorization to $B\to\phi K$, charmless $B\to VV$, $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ and semi-inclusive decays $B\to MX$ are discussed.
In this mini-review, we show that a lot of theoretical efforts have been made for the theoretical study of two body hadronic $B_{(s)}$ and $B_c$ decays. In addition to many next-to-leading order or even next-to-next-to leading order…
We present our recent calculation of the third order corrections to the semileptonic $b \to c$ and the muon decays. The calculation has been performed in an expansion around the limit $m_c \sim m_b$, but shows decent convergence even for…
We have measured the branching fractions of the Cabibbo-suppressed decays $\Lambda^+_c$ $\to$ $\Lambda^{0}$ $K^+$ and $\Lambda^+_c$ $\to$ $\Sigma^0$ $K^+$ %(measured with improved accuracy). relative to the Cabibbo-allowed decay modes…
