We give the detailed analyses for the gluonic-penguin effect on the $\kp$ and $\pp$ decays of the $B$ meson. In the standard model, it is shown that the ratio $BR(B\A\kp)/BR(B\A\pp)$ takes the value $0.5\sim 3.0$ with the strongly depending…
In this paper, we calculate the decay rate and CP asymmetry of the $B_s \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decay in perturbative QCD approach with Sudakov resummation. Since none of the quarks in final states is the same as those of the initial $B_s$ meson,…
Under the framework of soft-collinear effective theory, we analyze the charmless $B\to VV$ decays in a global way at leading power in $1/m_b$ and leading order in $\alpha_s$ with $V$ denoting a light vector meson. In the flavor SU(3)…
We discuss the perturbative QCD approach for exclusive non-leptonic two body B-meson decays. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues related to the factorization approach. PQCD results are compatible with…
We investigate the CP-averaged branching ratios, the polarization fractions, the relative phases, and the CP-violating asymmetries of the penguin-dominated $B \to \phi K_1(1270) $ and $ \phi K_1(1400)$ decays in the perturbative QCD(pQCD)…
We show that in the PQCD approach the $B\to \rho(\omega) K$ decays display not only the dynamical penguin enhancement, the mechanism responsible for the large branching ratios (BRs) of $B\to \phi K$ decays, but also the importance of…
In this work, we recalculate the charmless pure annihilation decays $B_s\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^0 \to K^+ K^-$ by using the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach, and compare the pQCD predictions with currently available…
Over the last two decades, $B \to \pi K$ modes have received a lot of attention. They are particularly interesting since the main contribution to these decays comes from QCD penguin topologies. Furthermore, electroweak penguin amplitudes…
We use currently available data of nonleptonic charmless 2-body $B\to MM$ decays ($MM = PP, PV, VV$) that are mediated by $b\to (d, s)$ QCD- and QED-penguin operators to study weak annihilation and new-physics effects in the framework of…
Two body $B$ meson decays involving the radially excited meson $\psi(2S)/\eta_c(2S)$ in the final states are studied by using the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach. We find that: (a) The branching ratios for the decays involving $K$ meson…
Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless two-body decays $B\to a_1(1260)K^*, b_1(1235)K^*$. Using the decays constants and the light-cone distribution amplitudes for these mesons derived from the QCD sum…
Full expressions of the $B^0_d \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^0_d \to \pi^0 \pi^0$ amplitudes, given in terms of matrix elements of operators of the effective weak Hamiltonian, are used to study the dependence of the relevant branching ratios on…
The hypothesis of the smallness of penguin contribution to charmless strangeless $B_d (\bar B_d)$ decays allows to determine with high accuracy the value of angle $\alpha$ from the currently available $B \to \rho\rho$, $B \to \pi\pi$ and…
We study three-body charmless baryonic B decays of $B \to \Lambda\bar\Lambda P$ with $P=\pi$ and $K$ in the standard model. We find that the branching ratios of the $K$ modes are about one order of magnitude larger than those of the…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for $B^0 \to \pi^0 \eta^{(\prime)}$ and $B^+\to \pi^+ \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach here. We not only calculate the usual…
Based on the flavor structure of four-quark effective operators, we develop an automatic computation program to calculate hadronic two-body $B$ meson decay amplitudes, and apply it to their global analysis in the perturbative QCD (PQCD)…
We analyze the impact of the CP-violating observables in the $B_d\to \rho^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}$ system, combined with the precise measurement of $\sin2\beta$, in the extraction of the CKM matrix. We explore two strategies for determining the…
We reanalyze the decay $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ without assuming dominance of QCD penguins with internal top-quark exchanges. In that case the weak phase of the $\bar b \to\bar d$ QCD penguin amplitude is not related in a simple way to the CKM…
We compare the factorization approach, the perturbative QCD approach and the Beneke-Buchalla-Neubert-Sachrajda approach to nonleptonic charmless $B$ meson decays. We discuss their treatments of factorizable, nonfactorizable, and…
