Inspired by the recent LHCb measurements and forthcoming great potential on $B_{c}$ meson, we study the exclusive $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $B_{q}P$, $B_{q}V$ decays with the perturbative QCD approach, where $q$ $=$ $u$, $d$, $s$; $P$ and $V$ denote…
In this short review, the calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the inclusive radiative decay B -> X_s gamma is described. I summarize the salient features of the calculational framework adopted, discuss the…
The NLO contributions to some two-body charmless hadronic B meson decays, such as those from the QCD vertex corrections, the quark loops and the chromo-magnetic penguins, have been calculated in the pQCD factorization approach.
We calculate the contributions of penguin diagrams with internal u or c quarks to various inclusive charmless B-decay rates. Further we analyze the influence of the chromomagnetic dipole operator Q_8 on these rates. We find that the rates…
We study the color-allowed $\Lambda_b\rightarrow \Lambda_c \pi, \Lambda_cK$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach (PQCD) to lowest order in strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$. Both the factorizable and nonfactorizable contributions are…
Though QCD Factorization(QCDF) could produce sufficiently large $B\to K\pi$ branching ratios close to experiments, the predicted direct CP asymmetry in ${\bar B}^{0}\to K^{+}\pi^{-}$ decay is however still quite below experiment, even with…
The main obstacle in describing inclusive decay spectra in QCD - which, in particular, limits the precision in extrapolating the measured \bar{B} \to X(s) gamma rate to the full phase space as well as in extracting |V_{ub}| from inclusive…
We study $B\to \pi\pi$ decay with a modified perturbative QCD approach. The branching ratios and $CP$ violation are calculated with the transverse momenta of partons considered. Sudakov factor associated with each meson is included to…
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…
By employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach, we calculated some important next-to-leading-order(NLO) contributions to the two-body charmless hadronic decays $B^+ \to \rho^+ \eta^{(\prime)}$ and $B^0 \to \rho^0(\omega,…
Branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries of charmless $\bar B_s\to PP, VP, VV$ decays (P and V denoting pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively) are re-examined in the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF). We take into account…
We compute 2-loop QCD corrections to the hard coefficient functions which arise in the factorization formula for B -> X_u l nu decays in the shape-function region. Our calculation provides the last missing piece required for a NNLO analysis…
We report on the status of the perturbative calculation in the QCD factorization framework to charmless hadronic B meson decays and present a compilation of available NNLO results.
Using the QCD sum rules approach and the complete leading--logarithmic short--distance coefficients determining the penguin--amplitude, we obtain $B(B\to K^*\gamma) = (6.8\pm 2.4)\cdot 10^{-5}$ for top--quark masses in the range (150--200)…
We address the non-perturbative calculation of the decay rate of inclusive semi-leptonic $B_{(s)}$ mesons decays from lattice QCD. Precise theoretical Standard Model predictions are key ingredients in searches for new physics. This type of…
These lectures review some of the progress made in the quantitative understanding of B decays. The emphasis here is on applications of QCD using perturbative and non-perturbative techniques. In some cases, however, phenomenological models…
With the generalized factorization approximation, we calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries in B meson decays into two charmless pseudoscalar mesons. We give a new estimation of the matrix elements of (S+P)(S-P) current products…
We discuss a model-independent framework for the analysis of the radiative B-meson decays B -> K* gamma and B -> rho gamma based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. We present a factorization formula for the treatment of B -> V gamma matrix…
We investigate the inclusive weak decay $\Xi_{bcq} \to \Xi_{ccq} + X$ ($q=u,d,s$) within the framework of the non-relativistic potential quark model. Treating the heavy diquarks $\Phi_{bc}$ and $\Phi_{cc}$ as compact color anti-triplet…
We calculate the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2 \beta_0 )$ corrections to the decay rate $b\rightarrow c\bar c s$. For reasonable values of $m_c/m_b$ this term is of the same order as both the one-loop and $\CO(\alpha_s^2 \log^2 m_W/m_b)$ corrections…
