We report on the calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the width difference $\Delta \Gamma_s$ in the neutral $B$-meson mixing process $B^0_s - \bar{B}^0_s$. These contributions represent an important step in…
We calculate within the Extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model the leading in $1/N_c$ contribution to $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ to all orders in the external momenta and quark masses. This result is then combined with the known two-loop…
The meson-photon transition form factors $\gamma\gamma^*\to P$ ($P$ stands for $\pi$, $\eta$ and $\eta'$) provide strong constraints on the distribution amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons. In this paper, these transition form factors are…

We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the $B \to \pi \rho$, $\pi\omega $ decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach up to the next-to-leading-order contributions. We find that the next-to-leading-order…
We examine the ratio of the decay rate of the eta_c into light hadrons to the decay rate into photons and find that most of the large next-to-leading-order (NLO) correction is associated with running of the strong coupling alpha_s. We resum…
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the $\gamma^{*} \longrightarrow Q\bar{Q}-Reggeon$ vertex are calculated, where $Q\bar{Q}$ denotes a heavy quark pair $c\bar c$ or $b\bar b$. The heavy quark mass effects on the photon impact factor…

The question how well nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization can describe quarkonium production has been subject to debate since its invention. We review our recent reanalysis of a classic next-to-leading order color octet (CO) long…

The associated production of Higgs boson with a hard photon at lepton collider, i.e., $e^+e^-\to H\gamma$, is known to bear a rather small cross section in Standard Model, and can serve as a sensitive probe for the potential new physics…
Motivated by the deviations observed between the data and the SM predictions of $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}_s^0\to D_s^+ \pi^-)$ and $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}_d^0\to D^+ K^-)$, we revisit the $B_{c}^{-}\to J/\psi(\eta_{c}) L^{-}$ decays, with $L=\pi,…
In heavy quarkonium production, the measured ratio $R_{c \bar c}=\sigma[J/\psi+ c\bar c + X]/\sigma[J/\psi +X]$ at B factories is much larger than existing theoretical predictions. To clarify this discrepancy, in nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD)…
