We study the exclusive decays of $B$ meson into pseudoscalar charmonium states $\eta_c$ and $\eta_c^\prime$ within the QCD factorization approach and find that the nonfactorizable corrections to naive factorization are infrared safe at…

We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to D^{(*)}N\bar N$: the color-allowed modes $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)+}n\bar p$ and the color-suppressed ones $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)0}p\bar p$. While the $D^{*+}/D^+$ production ratio is…

In this paper the decay of $B^+_c$ meson, consisting of two b and c heavy quarks, into the $D^0$ and $K^+$ mesons is studied. Given that the experimental branching ratio for this decay is within the range of $3.72\times 10^{-5}$ to…

The factorization hypothesis and color-suppression are investigated by analyzing the largest, to date, sample of B mesons. In all, 20 hadronic two-body decay modes are reconstructed using 2.04 fb^-1 of data collected with the CLEOII…

Surveying known hadronic rare B decays, we find that the factorization approximation can give a coherent account of $K\pi$, $\pi\pi$ and $\rho^0\pi^+$ data and give predictions for $\omega^0\pi^+$, $\rho\pi$ and $K^*\pi$ modes, {\it if…

Using 449 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider, we observe clear signals for B^+-> \bar{K}^0 K^+ and B^0-> \bar{K}^0 K^0 decays with 5.3 sigma and 6.0 sigma significance,…

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…

We present a unified method for analysing form factors in B -> pi l nu-bar_l and B -> K* gamma decays. The analysis provides consistency checks on the q^2 and 1/M extrapolations necessary to obtain the physical decay rates. For the first…
