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…

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…

We compute the two-loop corrections to the coefficient of the b --> s gamma magnetic penguin present in the limits of heavy top and/or heavy higgs. This kind of corrections affects in a significant way the observables measured at LEP. On…

Using the soft-collinear effective theory we derive the factorization theorem for the decays B-> M1 M2 with M{1,2}= pi,K, rho,K*, at leading order in Lambda/E_M and Lambda/mb. The results derived here apply even if alpha_s(E_M Lambda) is…

In this work, we investigate six helicity amplitudes of the four-body $B_{(s)} \to (\pi\pi)(K\bar{K})$ decays in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The $\pi\pi$ invariant mass spectrum is dominated by the vector resonance $\rho(770)$…

We present a summary of the latest measurements of branching fractions and direct CP violations in the charmless hadronic two-body B decays B -> K^+ pi^-, K^+ pi^0, K^0 pi^+ and K^0 pi^0, performed by the Belle, BABAR, CDF and CLEO…

We calculate the branching ratio and direct CP asymmetry in nonleptonic two body B decays B^+- ->\pi^+- \eta'. It is shown that the tree diagram and gluon fusion mechanism via penguin diagram have comparable contributions to these decays…

We study a relation between the weak phase $\gamma$ and the rates and CP asymmetries of several $K \pi$ decays of $B^+$, $B^0$, and $B_s$, emphasizing the impact of the latter measurements. Current data indicate large SU(3) breaking in the…

We present a method of determining the CKM-angle $\alpha$ by performing simultaneous measurements of the mixing-induced CP asymmetries of the decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_d\to K^0\bar K^0$. The accuracy of our approach is limited by…

The measured B -> pi pi, pi K branching ratios exhibit puzzling patterns. We point out that the B -> pi pi hierarchy can be nicely accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through non-factorizable hadronic interference effects, whereas the B…
