Long-distance contributions of operators of the effective non-leptonic weak Hamiltonian containing charmed currents have been recently studied. Penguin-like contractions of these operators, denoted as charming penguins, have been shown to…

Branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries of charmless $B_s\to PPP$ decays with $P=K,\pi$ are studied using a simple model based on the factorization approach. The penguin-dominated modes $B_s\to \bar K^0 K^+\pi^-$ and $K^0K^-\pi^+$…

We study 20 charmless hadronic $B \to f_1 P$ decays in the perturbative QCD(pQCD) formalism with $f_1$ representing axial-vector mesons $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$ that result from a mixing of quark-flavor $f_{1q}$ and $f_{1s}$ states with…

We present the studies of the decays $B\to a_1(1260) \pi$ and $a_1(1260) K$ within the framework of QCD factorization. Due to the G-parity, unlike the vector meson, the chiral-odd two-parton light-cone distribution amplitudes of the $a_1$…

Several $B$ and $B_s$ decays have been observed which have been cited as evidence for exchange ($E$), penguin annihilation ($PA$) and annihilation ($A$) processes, such as $\bar b d \to \bar u u$, $\bar b s \to \bar u u$ and $\bar b u \to…

We investigate the pure penguin decays $B\to \pi\phi$ in the Standard Model(SM) and in the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM) using the QCD factorization approach and consider the Sudakov effects in the twist-3…

The ampitude of the $B\to\rho\gamma$ decay induced by the flavour-changing neutral currents contains the penguin contribution and the weak-annihilation contribution generated by the 4-quark operators in the effective Hamiltonian. The…

Belle has observed surprisingly copious production of $\psi(3770)$ in $B$ meson decay $B\to \psi(3770)K$, of which the rate is comparable to that of $B\to \psi(3686)K$. We study this puzzling process in the QCD factorization approach with…

New physics contributions to B decays often arise through chromo-magnetic penguin operators. To look for new physics effects in B decays, it is useful to be able to estimate the hadronic matrix elements for the chromo-magnetic operator. We…

Charmless B decay modes $B \to \pi \pi, \pi K$ and $KK$ aresystematically investigated with and without flavor SU(3) symmetry. Independent analyses on $\pi \pi$ and $\pi K$ modes both favor a large ratio between color-suppressed tree ($C$)…

We analyze the B->KK decays with the soft-gluon corrections by using the QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR). Although QCD factorization approach calculates the leading order factorization parts and the radiative corrections from hard- gluon…

Based on the latest experimental data of $B \to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$ modes, a model-independent analytical analysis is presented. The CP-averaged branching ratio difference $\Delta R = R_c - R_n$ in $B\to \pi K$ decays with $R_c =…

Motivated by recent CELO measurements and the progress of the theory of B decays, we investigate $B\to P V(P=\pi,K. V= K^{*},\rho,\omega)$ decay modes in the framework of QCD improved factorization. We find that all the measured branching…

By employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach, we calculated the partial next-to-leading order (NLO) contributions to $B_s \to P P$ decays ($P= \pi, K, \etap $), coming from the QCD vertex corrections, the quark-loops and…

The QCD$\times$QED factorization is studied for two-body non-leptonic and semi-leptonic $B$ decays with heavy-light final states. These non-leptonic decays, like $\bar{B}^0_{(s)}\to D^+_{(s)} \pi^-$ and $\bar{B}_d^0 \to D^+ K^-$, are among…

Using data from the B factories and the Tevatron, we perform tests of how well non-leptonic B decays of the kind B -> D^{(*)}_{(s)} P, where P is a pion or kaon, are described within the factorization framework. We find that factorization…

We study $B_{s}\to KK$ decays in the framework of the PQCD. We show that the branching ratios of $B_{s}\to (K^+ K^-, K^0 \bar{K}^0)$ are about $(22.43, 25.78) \times 10^{-6}$ for $\phi_{3}(\gamma)\simeq72^0$, which are consistent with the…
