We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for $B^0 \to \pi^+\rho^-$, $B^0 \to \rho^+\pi^-$, $B^+ \to \rho^+\pi^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\rho^0$, $B^0 \to \pi^0\rho^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\omega$ and $B^0 \to \pi^0\omega$ decays, in a…
We develop a perturbative QCD factorization theorem which is compatible with effective field theory. The factorization involves three scales: an infrared cutoff of order $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$, a hard scale of order the $B$ meson mass, and an…
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 decay modes of the type $B \rightarrow \pi \, \pi $ are dynamically different. For the case $\bar{B_{d}^0} \rightarrow \, \pi^+ \pi^- $ there is a substantial factorized contribution which dominates. In contrast, the decay mode…
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…
In this work, we investigate six helicity amplitudes of the four-body $B_{(s)} \to (\pi\pi)(K\bar{K})$ decays in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The $\pi\pi$ invariant mass spectrum is dominated by the vector resonance $\rho(770)$…
We study the first observed charmless $B\to VV$ modes, the $B\to\phi K^*$ decays, in perturbative QCD formalism. The obtained branching ratios $B(B\to\phi K^*)\sim 15 \times 10^{-6}$ are larger than $\sim 9\times 10^{-6}$ from QCD…
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…
Charmless 3-body decays of B mesons are studied in the framework of the factorization approach. The nonresonant contributions arising from $B\to P_1P_2$ transitions are evaluated using heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT). The…
I discuss QCD sum rules determinations of the form factors governing the decay $B \to \pi (\rho) \ell \nu$. For some of these form factors the computed dependence on the momentum transferred does not agree with the expectation from the…
We calculated the CP averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of two-body charmless hadronic Bs->PP,PV decays with the QCDF approach, including the contributions from the chirally enhanced power corrections and weak…
In light of the current discrepancies between the recent predictions based on QCD factorisation (QCDF) and the experimental data for several non-leptonic colour-allowed two-body $B$-meson decays, we obtain new determinations of the…
Considering the $B$ mesonic distribution amplitude ${\phi}_{B2}$, we reinvestigated the $B$ ${\to}$ $PP$ (where $P$ $=$ ${\pi}$ and $K$) decays with the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach based on the $k_{T}$ factorization for three…
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…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for $B^0 \to \pi^0 \eta^{(\prime)}$ and $B^+\to \pi^+ \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach here. We not only calculate the usual…
We review the perturbative QCD formalism for exclusive heavy meson decays, concentrating on the three-scale factorization theorem for nonleptonic processes. The formalism is then extended to the radiative decay $B\to K^*\gamma$, which…
We calculate the important next-to-leading-order (NLO) contributions to the $B \to K K^*$ decays from the vertex corrections, the quark loops, and the magnetic penguins in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. The pQCD…
The presence of additional strong phase from power corrections and other chirally enhanced terms makes it more difficult to predict direct CP asymmetries in two-body charmless B decays. In this talk, I would like to report on a recent work…
We analyze the charmless two-body decays of the $B$ meson into a pseudoscalar and a vector meson, referred to as $B\to PV$ decay, within the framework of the modified perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. Based on the conventional PQCD…
Nonfactorizable effects in charmless $B\to PP, VP$ decays can be lumped into the effective parameters a_i that are linear combinations of Wilson coefficients, or equivalently absorbed into the effective number of colors N_c. Naive…
