We calculate the QCD factors $a_1$ and $a_2$, entering the tests of factorization in non-leptonic heavy meson decays, beyond the leading logarithmic approximation in three renormalization schemes (NDR, HV, DRED). We investigate their…
We study charmless two-body baryonic B decays in a diagramatic approach. Relations on decay amplitudes are obtained. In general there are more than one tree and more than one penguin amplitudes. The number of independent amplitudes can be…

Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless two-body decays $B_s \to a_1(1260)(b_1(1235))P(V)$ ($P, V$ represent the light pseudo-scalar and vector mesons, respectively.). Using the decays constants and the…
We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to b \to c l \bar \nu_l decay rate at a fully differential level. Arbitrary cuts on kinematic variables of the decay products can be imposed. Our computation can be used to…
The NLO contributions to some two-body charmless hadronic B meson decays, such as those from the QCD vertex corrections, the quark loops and the chromo-magnetic penguins, have been calculated in the pQCD factorization approach.
Recently, the Belle II Collaboration reported the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu})=(2.3\pm0.7)\times10^{-5}$ with a significance of $3.5\sigma$, which is $2.7\sigma$ above the SM expectation. Motivated by this…
In this paper, we studied systematically the semileptonic decays $\bar{B}_s \to K^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^-$ with $l^-=(e^-,\mu^-,\tau^-)$ by using the perturbative QCD (PQCD) and the "PQCD+Lattice" factorization approach, respectively. We first…

We discuss exclusive charmless B decays within the Standard Model of particle physics. In particular, we consider hadronic two-body decays as B -> pi pi and perform a conceptual analysis of heavy-to-light form factors which encode the…
We show -- by explicit computation of first-order corrections -- that the QCD factorization approach previously applied to hadronic two-body decays and to form factor ratios also allows us to compute non-factorizable corrections to…
While the discovery of non-zero neutrino masses is one of the most important accomplishments by physicists in the past century, it is still unknown how and in what form these masses arise. Lepton number-violating neutrinoless double beta…
We present a new method aiming at a non-perturbative, model-independent determination of the momentum dependence of the form factors entering semileptonic decays using unitarity and analyticity constraints. We extend the original proposal…
To lowest-order weak interactions in the standard model, we point out that a complete graph description of two-body mesonic $B$ (or $D$) decays needs ten topologically different quark diagrams. The two-body baryonic $B$ decays can be…
