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.
In this paper, we calculate the branching ratios and CP violating asymmetries of the five $\bar{B}^0_s \to (\pi^0\eta^{(*)},\eta^{(*)}\eta^{(*)})$ decays, by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach and with the…
The inclusive decay rate b to ccs is enhanced considerably due to perturbative QCD corrections. We recalculate the dominant part of the NLO-QCD corrections, because they cannot be reconstructed from the literature and we give the full…
The $\bar{B}_{q}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ $DP$, $DV$ weak decays are studied with the perturbative QCD approach, where $q$ $=$ $u$, $d$ and $s$; $P$ and $V$ denote the ground $SU(3)$ pseudoscalar and vector meson nonet. It is found that the…
The rare decays $B^0 \to D_s^- K^+$ and $B^+ \to D_s^+ \bar{K}^0$ can occur only via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. We calculate these decays in perturbative QCD approach. We found that the calculated branching ratio of…
Motivated by the first LHCb searches for the rare $\bar{B}_{s,d}^{0} \to J/\psi\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decays, we perform a detailed study of these processes within the QCD factorization formalism. Since the transverse size of the $J/\psi$ meson is…
Within the perturbative QCD approach and ignoring the contributions of long distance and subleading penguin loops, we investigate $\bar B^0 \to D^0 \mu^+\mu^-$ decay in the large recoiling kinematic region in the Standard Model. At the tree…
We report on a study of $\bar{B^{0}} \to D^{(*) 0} \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays using 29.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB storage ring. Making no assumptions…
We consider QCD radiative corrections to $W^+W^-b {\bar b}$ production with leptonic decays and massive bottom quarks at the LHC. We perform an exact next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation within the $q_T$-subtraction formalism and…
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,…
In this work, we calculated the branching ratios, polarization fractions and CP asymmetry of decay modes $B\to\rho(\omega)\rho(\omega)$ in the Perturbative QCD approach, which is based on $\mathbf{k}_T$ factorization. After calculation, we…
The rare decays $B_s^0\to D^\pm \pi^\mp$ and $\bar B_s^0\to D^\mp \pi^\pm$ can occur only via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. In this paper, we calculate branching ratios of these decays in perturbative QCD approach…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the $B\to \phi K$ decays using perturbative QCD approach, which includes $k_T$ and threshold resummations. Our results of branching ratios are consistent with the experimental data and…
In this paper, we calculated the $B \to (\jpsi, \eta_c) K$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach with the inclusion of the partial next-to-leading order (NLO) contributions. We found that (a) when the large enhancements from the known NLO…
We investigate the branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries of $B_c^+\to D^0\pi^+$ and $B_c^+\to D^+\pi^0$ decays in the PQCD approach. All the diagrams with emission topology or annihilation topology are calculated strictly. A branching…
Motivated by the recent measurement of the upper limit of ${B}^0 \to J/\psi D$ branching ratio, which is important in accounting for the soft $J/\psi$ production in B decays, we investigate ${B}^0 \to J/\psi D^{(\star)}$ and $\eta_c…
While the factorization assumption works well for many two-body nonleptonic $B$ meson decay modes, the recent measurement of $\bar B\to D^{(*)0}M^0$ with $M=\pi$, $\rho$ and $\omega$ shows large deviation from this assumption. We analyze…
We report on the observation of B0bar -> D*0 pi+ pi+ pi- pi- decays. The branching ratio is (0.30 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.06)%. Interest in this particular mode was sparked by Ligeti, Luke and Wise who propose it as a way to check the validity of…
In decay modes $B^0 \to D_s^{(*)+} D_s^{(*)-}$ and $B_s^0 \to D^{(*)+} D^{(*)-}$, none of quarks in final states is the same as one of $B$ meson. They can occur only via annihilation diagrams in the Standard Model. In the heavy quark limit,…
