Charmless B decay modes $B \to \pi \pi, \pi K$ and $KK$ aresystematically investigated with and without flavor SU(3) symmetry. Independent analyses on $\pi \pi$ and $\pi K$ modes both favor a large ratio between color-suppressed tree ($C$)…
We calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of a number of two-body charmless hadronic decays $\bar{B_s^0} \to PP, PV, VV$ in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach to leading order in $\alpha_s$ (here $P$ and…

We analyse the $B \to K\pi$ decays using the factorisation model with final state interaction phase shift included. We find that factorisation seems to describe qualitatively the latest CLEO data. For a test of the factorisation model, we…
In the two-quark model supposition for $K_0^{*}(1430)$, the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays $\bar B_s^0\to K^{*0}_0(1430)\pi^0, K^{*+}_0(1430)\pi^-$ are studied by employing the perturbative QCD…
We study the first observed charmless $B\to VV$ modes, the $B\to\phi K^*$ decays, in perturbative QCD formalism. The obtained branching ratios $B(B\to\phi K^*)\sim 15 \times 10^{-6}$ are larger than $\sim 9\times 10^{-6}$ from QCD…
An analysis of $B \to K\pi$ decays is given, assuming a small elastic $\pi K $ rescattering phase difference.Using factorization model only for the tree-level and electroweak penguin amplitudes, we show that the strong penguin amplitude,…
We address a number of theoretical and phenomenological issues in two-body charmless non-leptonic B decays in the context of a factorization model. A classification of the exclusive decays involving tree and penguin amplitudes is reviewed.…
