We investigate three tree-dominated $B \to a_0 a_0$ decays for the first time in the perturbative QCD(pQCD) approach at leading order in the standard model, with $a_0$ standing for the light scalar $a_0(980)$ state, which is assumed as a…

We investigate to what extent the experimental information on $B \to \pi\pi$ branching fractions and CP asymmetries can be used to better understand the QCD dynamics in these decays. For this purpose we decompose the independent isospin…
$\bar B \to D\pi$, $D^*\pi$, $J/\psi\bar K$ 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 QCD$\times$QED factorization is studied for two-body non-leptonic and semi-leptonic $B$ decays with heavy-light final states. These non-leptonic decays, like $\bar{B}^0_{(s)}\to D^+_{(s)} \pi^-$ and $\bar{B}_d^0 \to D^+ K^-$, are among…
We propose a QCD-based model for calculation of the non-perturbative corrections to the factorization approximation in the decays of heavy mesons. In the framework of the model, factorization in pseudoscalar transitions holds exactly at the…
We studied the decays of Heavy baryon into a pseudoscalar meson and a dark baryon in the recently developed $B$-Mesogenesis scenario, where the two types of effective Lagrangians proposed by the scenario are both considered. The decay…
In this paper, we present an improved calculation for the decay rate of the rare $Z$-boson decay into $J/\psi + J/\psi$. This decay is dominated by the photon fragmentation mechanism, i.e., the transition $Z\to J/\psi + \gamma^{*}$ followed…
We apply the method of QCD light-cone sum rules to calculate nonfactorizable contributions to the B -> J/psi K decay and estimate soft nonfactorizable corrections to the a_2 parameter. The corrections appear to be positive, favoring the…
For the color-suppressed $\bar{B}^0\longrightarrow D^{0}\pi^{0}$ decay, nonfactorizable contributions are expected to be leading and naive factorization description breaks down. We estimate $1/m_b$ power-suppressed nonfactorizable effect in…
We evaluate in the framework of QCD factorization the two-loop vertex corrections to the decays $\bar{B}_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}^{(\ast)+} \, L^-$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^+ \, L^-$, where $L$ is a light meson from the set…
I consider nonleptonic decays of B mesons into two light mesons using the light-cone wave functions for the mesons. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contributions are calculable from first principles in some decay modes. I review…
Motivated by the deviations observed between the data and the SM predictions of $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}_s^0\to D_s^+ \pi^-)$ and $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}_d^0\to D^+ K^-)$, we revisit the $B_{c}^{-}\to J/\psi(\eta_{c}) L^{-}$ decays, with $L=\pi,…
In the framework of the factorization and the heavy quark effective theory, $B\to D_2^*\pi$ modes are analyzed. We adopt the result from the QCD sum rule calculation for the hadronic matrix elements at leading order of $\Lambda_{\rm…
