We present the estimate of the branching ratio for the rare decay $\bar B^0\to D^*\gamma$. We use QCD factorization approach in order to compute the amplitude of the process. The calculation is carried out with the leading order accuracy. %…

The rare decay B^+ \to D_s^+ \bar K^{*0} can occur only via annihilation diagrams in the Standard Model. We calculate the branching ratio in perturbative QCD approach based on k_T factorization theorem. We found that the branching ratio 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,…

A class of meson decay modes sensitive to only one quark topology at leading G_F order (annihilation of valence quarks through a W) is described. No experimental observations, nor even upper limits, have been reported for these decays. This…

Using 482 pb$^{-1}$ of data taken at $\sqrt{s}=4.009$ GeV, we measure the branching fractions of the decays of $D^{*0}$ into $D^0\pi^0$ and $D^0\gamma$ to be $\BR(D^{*0} \to D^0\pi^0)=(65.5\pm 0.8\pm 0.5)%$ and $\BR(D^{*0} \to…

We study the loop induced rare decays $B_s(B_d)\to\gamma\nu\bar\nu$ within the standard model. Both constituent quark model and pole model are used and the branching ratios turn out to be of the orders of $10^{-8}$ for $B_s\to \gamma \nu…

We calculate the next-to-leading corrections to the branching ratio of exclusive $B\to K^* \gamma$ decay. The renormalization scale dependence is reduced compared to the leading logarithmic result but there remains a dependence on a cutoff…

Recently the LHCb collaboration put the upper limit on the $\Xi^{-}_{b} \rightarrow \Xi^{-}\gamma$ decay branching ratio $Br(\Xi^{-}_{b} \rightarrow \Xi^{-}\gamma)< 1.3\times 10^{-4}$. The measured value is below the light-cone sum rule…

The rare decay $B^+ \to D_s^+ \phi$ can occur only via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. We calculate this decay in perturbative QCD approach with Sudakov resummation. We found that the branching ratio of $B^+ \to D_s^+…

The upper limit of the branching ratio of the rare $\Xi_b^-\rightarrow \Xi^- \gamma$ decay is obtained as $BR(\Xi_b^-\rightarrow \Xi^- \gamma)<1.3\times10^{-4}$ by the LHCb. In the present work we study this decay within the light cone QCD…

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…

We study the rare radiative dileptonic decays $B^0(B_s)\to \gamma\ell^+\ell^-$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) in the standard model. By using the $B$ meson wave function constrained by non-leptonic decays, the branching ratios turn out to be of the order…
