We analyze the quasi-two-body decays $B\to K\rho\to K\pi\pi$ in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, in which final-state interactions between the pions in the resonant regions associated with the $P$-wave states $\rho(770)$ and…

We propose a method for a QCD based calculation of one-particle inclusive decays of the form B \to \bar D X or B \to \bar D^* X. It is based on the heavy mass limit and a short distance expansion of the amplitudes, which yield a power…

We study the radiative decay B -> gamma l nu_l in the framework of QCD factorization. We demonstrate explicitly that, in the heavy-quark limit and at one-loop order in perturbation theory, the amplitude does factorize, i.e. that it can be…

We study the three-body baryonic decay $ \bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Lambda^+_c \bar{p} \pi^0$ based on the factorization approach. The most important Feynman diagrams for this decay mode are factorizable and non-factorizable contributions, so…

QCD-based analysis of nonfactorizable parts of weak nonleptonic amplitudes is reported. Nonperturbative effects due to soft gluon exchange play a key role leading to the emergence of a dynamical rule of discarding $1/N_c$ corrections.
