Motivated by the rapid development of heavy-flavor experiments, phenomenological studies of nonleptonic $\bar{B}_{d,s} \to D^{*}_{d,s} V$ and $\bar{B}_{d,s}^* \to D_{d,s} V$~($V=\rho\,,K^*$) decays are performed within the framework of QCD…

The purely leptonic decays D -> e nu and Ds -> e nu, for which no experimental limits exist, are highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Mere observation of these decays at the B factories BELLE/BaBar or forthcoming CLEO-c would be a clear…
We investigate $B \to K_0^*(1430) K^*$ decays in the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach, where $B$ denotes $B_u$, $B_d$ and $B_s$ meson respectively, and the scalar $K_0^*(1430)$ is considered as a meson based on the model of…

We analyze the effect of R-parity violation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model on the CP asymmetries in $b\to s \gamma$ decay. The direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetries arising from the lepton number violating couplings are…
We demonstrate that the R-parity breaking interactions within their current experimental upper bounds can give rise to large mixing-induced CP asymmetry in exclusive radiative B decays that may be detectable in the upcoming B factories.
We apply the QCD factorization approach to exclusive, radiative B meson decays in the region of small invariant photon mass. We calculate factorizable and non-factorizable corrections to leading order in the heavy quark mass expansion and…
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…
In the standard model, direct CP-violating asymmetries for $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ are roughly 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating couplings in…
We discuss the perturbative QCD approach for the exclusive two body B-meson decays to light mesons. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues on factorization approach. We show numerical results which are…

We consider a possibility that $R$-parity violating interactions of particles which do not involve the first generation have large (up to 1) coupling constants, $\Lambda$. Such couplings, if exist, could have a number of phenomenological…
In the standard model, CP asymmetries in the $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ channels are about 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating $\lambda'$ couplings…
