We study the nonleptonic charmless $B_{u,d,s} \to K_0^*(1430)P$ $(P=K\,, \pi)$ and $ K_0^*(1430)V$ $ (V=K^*\,, \rho\,, \omega\,, \phi)$ decays. The amplitudes are calculated within the QCD factorization, and the non-perturbative quantities…

Hadronic charmless B decays to scalar mesons are studied within the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF). Considering two different scenarios for scalar mesons above 1 GeV, we find that the data favor the scenario in which the scalars…

Baryonic two-body $B$ mesons decays have been measured experimentally for some time, which provides an excellent ground for studying the QCD of baryonic $B$ decays. In this work, we investigate the two-body doubly-charmed baryonic $B$…

Nonleptonic decays B to D pi- or B to D* pi- are dominated by factorizable contributions. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contribution arises from strong radiative correction and power corrections in 1/m_b. I calculate the decay…
I summarize results and performance of the dynamical theory of charmless hadronic B decays, based on QCD factorization in the heavy quark limit. On the theoretical side, a number of NNLO (alpha_s^2) amplitudes are now available, all showing…
We provide updated predictions for the hadronic decays $\bar{B}_s^0\to D_s^{(*)+} \pi^-$ and $\bar{B}^0\to D^{(*)+} K^-$. They are based on $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$ results for the QCD factorization amplitudes at leading power and on…
A new method is suggested to calculate the $B\to \pi\pi$ hadronic matrix elements from QCD light-cone sum rules. To leading order in $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_b$, the sum rule reproduces a factorizable matrix element, in accordance with the…
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,…
We prove a factorization theorem in QCD for the color suppressed decays B0-> D0 M0 and B0-> D*0 M0 where M is a light meson. Both the color-suppressed and W-exchange/annihilation amplitudes contribute at lowest order in LambdaQCD/Q where…
Two-body decays of B mesons are studied by decomposing their amplitude into a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using the naive factorization while the latter is calculated by using a hard pion (or…
