We discuss applications of the perturbative QCD approach in the exclusive non-leptonic two body B-meson decays. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues on the factorization approaches. PQCD results are…
The branchings fractions of the rare $B_s$ decays are calculated in the framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model. The form factors of the weak $B_s$ transitions to light mesons are expressed through the overlap integral of…
In this paper the potential for the discovery of new physics in the exclusive decay $\bar{B}_d \to \bar{K}^{*0} \mu^+ \mu^-$ is discussed. Attention is paid to constructing observables which are protected from uncertainties in QCD form…
We propose to undertake a model-independent analysis of the inclusive decay rates and distributions in the processes \bgamaxs~ and \Bsell ~($B=B^\pm$ or $B^0_d$). We show how measurements of the decay rates and distributions in these…
We consider the hadronic B decays B0bar -> D0 eta, B0bar -> D*0 eta, B0bar -> D0 eta', B0bar -> D*0 eta' in the framework of a quark-flavour basis and factorization. The formalism allows to compute the decays to the eta meson and to relate…
We discuss the possibility for observing $B_c$ mesons in decay channels with $B_s$ in final state.
We study the decay $B^\pm\to \phi K^{\ast\pm}$, followed by the decay of the outgoing vector mesons into two pseudoscalars. The analysis of angular distributions of the decay products is shown to provide useful information about the…
In a scenario in which fourth generation fermions exist, we study effects of new physics on the differential decay width, forward-backward asymmetry $A_{\text{FB}}$ and integrated branching ratio for $B\to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay with…
I discuss the theoretical and empirical status of $b \to s \gamma$, $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays, as well as their future prospects. I emphasize those observables in rare $b$-decays which can potentially establish new physics and…
In this thesis we present an introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, which can be used to prove (or disprove) factorization theorems to all orders in the strong coupling constant for some B decays into light and energetic…
We compute the branching fraction of the decays $B \to K \nu \bar\nu$ and $B \to K^* \nu \bar\nu$ in the Standard Model. We also comment on the experimental difficulties and procedures to detect such modes at B factories.
New physics can possibly emerge in the B decays into wrong-sign kaons for which the standard model contributions are extremely suppressed. We analyze two-body decays of $\bar{B}^0$ and $B^-$ mesons involving the $b\to dd\bar{s}$ ($\Delta…
We calculate the form factors for weak decays of $B_{(s)}$ and $D_{(s)}$ mesons to light pseudoscalar and vector mesons. To reveal the intimate connection between different decay modes and to be able to perform the calculations in the full…
For any new physics possibly emerging in the future B experiments, the problem is how to extract the signals from the SM background. We consider the decay $b\to s s\bar d$ which is very small in the SM. In the MSSM this decay is possibly…
Extraction of the mass difference $\Delta m$ from $B^0\bar B^0$ oscillations involves tagging of bottom flavour at production and at decay. We show that the asymmetry between the unmixed and mixed events factorizes into two parts, one…
The form factors of weak decays of $B_s$ mesons to ground state $D_s^{(*)}$ mesons as well as to their radial $D_s^{(*)}(2S)$ and orbital $D_{sJ}^{(*)}$ excitations are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on…
Some recent progress in China in the study of charmless B decays with QCD factorization is reviewed. Chirally enhanced power corrections and infrared divergence problem are stressed.
We give a detailed description of the differences between the factorization and results derived from SCET and QCDF for decays B -> M1 M2. This serves as a reply to a comment about our work "B-> M1 M2: Factorization, charming penguins,…
We present a new analysis of B_{d,s}->KK modes within the SM, relating them in a controlled way through SU(3)-flavour symmetry and QCD-improved factorisation. We propose a set of sum rules for B_{d,s}-> K^0{\bar K}^0 observables. We…
We have systematically investigated the semi-inclusive B decays $B\to MX$, which are manifestations of the quark decay $b \to Mq$, within a framework inspired by QCD-improved factorization. These decays are theoretically clean and have…
