$\bar B \to D\pi$, $D^*\pi$, $J/\psi\bar K$ and $J/\psi\pi$ decays are studied. Their amplitude is given by a sum of factorized and non-factorizable ones. The latter which is estimated by using a hard pion approximation is rather small in…
The two body charmless decays of $B_s$ meson to light vector mesons are analyzed within the framework of QCD factorization. This approach implies that the nonfactorizable corrections to different helicity amplitudes are not the same. The…
We investigate nonfactorizable contributions to charm meson decays in $ D \rightarrow \bar K \pi $/ $ \bar K \rho$ /$ \bar K ^{*} \pi$ / $ \bar K a_{1}$ / $ \bar K ^{*} \rho $ modes. Obtaining the contributions from spectator-quark diagrams…

We study the factorization-forbidden decays $B\to h_c K$ and $B\to\chi_{c2}K$ in the QCD factorization approach. If neglecting the vertex corrections and regularizing the end-point singularities in spectator corrections properly, we get…
Charged and neutral B decays into two charged pions and a charged or a neutral kaon are analyzed within the QCD factorization scheme where final state interactions before and after hadronization are included. The K*(892) and K*(1430)…
We calculate the invariant and helicity amplitudes for the nonleptonic decay Lambda_b -> Lambda + J/psi, psi(2S) in the covariant confined quark model. We discuss joint angular decay distributions in the cascade decay Lambda_b -> Lambda(->…
In this paper, we investigate the vertex corrections and spectator hard scattering contributions to $B \to \chi_{c0,2}K$ decays, which has no leading contribution from naive factorization scheme. A non-zero binding energy $b=2m_c-M$ is…
An analysis of the decay B0 -> J/psi K*(892)0 is presented using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1, collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV with the LHCb detector. The polarisation amplitudes…

In this note, we calculate the branching ratio of B_c\to J/\psi K in the framework of perturbative QCD approach based on k_T factorization. This decay can occur only via tree level diagrams in the Standard Model. We find that the branching…
We study the implication of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays on the extraction of weak phases taking into account the precise measurement of $\sin 2\beta$, obtained from the ``gold-plated''mode $B\to J/\psi K_S$.…
Motivated by the recent measurements on nonleptonic $J/{\psi}$ weak decays at BESIII and the potential prospects of $J/{\psi}$ meson at the high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments, the branching ratios of the two-body nonleptonic…
We predict the amplitude of the $B\to K \ell^+\ell^-$ decay in the region of the dilepton invariant mass squared $0<q^2\leq m_{J/\psi}^2$, that is, at large hadronic recoil. The $B\to K$ form factors entering the factorizable part of the…
