A new experimental analysis of $B\to K\pi$ decays provides finite experimental values for the contributions from interference terms between the dominant penguin amplitude and the color-favored and color-suppressed tree amplitudes. These…
We study the penguin pollution in the B^0 -> J/psi K_S decay up to leading power in 1/m_b and to next-to-leading order in \alpha_s, m_b being the b quark mass and \alpha_s the strong coupling constant. The deviation \Delta S_{J/psi K_S} of…
Within the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF), power corrections due to penguin annihilation can account for theobserved rates of penguin-dominated two-body decays of $B$ mesons and direct CP asymmetries $A_{CP}(K^-\pi^+)$,…
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…
Constraints on angles of Unitarity triangle are reviewed, and in particular constraint on $\gamma$ from limit on $\Delta m_s$ is emphasized. Effects of penguin diagram on measurement of $\beta$ and $\alpha$ are then reviewed. New…
Using a sample of $1.31\times10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the electron-positron collider BEPCII, we analyse the full $J/\psi \to$ $\Xi^-\overline{\Xi}^+$, $\Xi^-\to \Lambda \pi^-$, $\Lambda\to p\pi^-$,…
We analyse the two purely isospin-violating decays $\Lambda_b\rightarrow \Sigma^0 \phi$ and $\Lambda_b\rightarrow \Sigma^0 J/\psi$, proceed merely via the exchange topologies, in the framework of perturbative QCD approach. Assuming…
We investigate the $B_{d,s}^0 \to f_1 f_1$ decays in the framework of perturbative QCD(PQCD) approach with a referenced value $\phi_{f_1} \sim 24^\circ$. Here, $f_1$ denotes the axial-vector mesons $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$ with mixing…
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 show that in the PQCD approach the $B\to \rho(\omega) K$ decays display not only the dynamical penguin enhancement, the mechanism responsible for the large branching ratios (BRs) of $B\to \phi K$ decays, but also the importance of…
Theoretical descriptions of the non-mesonic weak decay of Lambda-hypernuclei are unable to reproduce the experimental values of the ratio Gn/Gp=G(Lambda n -> nn)/G(Lambda p -> np). In this contribution we discuss a new approach to this…
We calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of a number of two-body charmless hadronic decays $\bar{B_s^0} \to PP, PV, VV$ in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach to leading order in $\alpha_s$ (here $P$ and…
We study direct CP violation in the bottom baryon decays \Lambda_b -> f \rho^0 (\omega) -> f\pi^+\pi^- (f=n or \Lambda). It is found that in these decays via \rho-\omega mixing the CP violation could be very large when the invariant mass of…
Recently, we have seen interesting progress in the exploration of CP violation in B^0_d -> pi^+ pi^-: the measurements of mixing-induced CP violation by the BaBar and Belle collaborations are now in good agreement with each other, whereas…
In this talk we show that, unlike other pure $b\to d$ penguin processes, the decay $\bs(t)\to\phi\ks$ is dominated by a single amplitude, that of the internal $t$-quark. Thus, the indirect CP asymmetry in this decay probes $\sin 2\beta$.…
Observation of CP violation in $B^o\to K^\pm\pi^{\mp}$ decays and its absence in $B^+\to K^+\pi^o$ decays are explained in new improved data analysis of more precise $B\to K\pi$ data. Success of the "Lipkin Sum Rule" indicates that four…
The influence of strong and electroweak penguin amplitudes in $B/ \bar B \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ is investigated in connection with the determination of the unitarity triangle angle $\alpha$ of the CKM matrix. A relation between the…
We present the first evidence of the decay mode $B_s \to \phi \phi$ and a measurement of partial width and direct CP asymmetry for the $B^+ \to \phi K^+$ decay using $180 pb^{-1}$ of data collected by the CDFII experiment at the Fermilab…
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,…
We show that the CP-violating phases \beta and \beta' can respectively be determined from the time-dependent measurements of B_d \to D^*\pmD^\mp and B_s \to D^*\pm_sD^\mp_s decays, whose final states are non-CP eigenstates. The penguin…
