We present the studies of the decays $B\to a_1(1260) \pi$ and $a_1(1260) K$ within the framework of QCD factorization. Due to the G-parity, unlike the vector meson, the chiral-odd two-parton light-cone distribution amplitudes of the $a_1$…

The radiative B -> K* gamma mode is caused by a penguin operator which is a quantum correction. Thus this mode may be useful in the search for physics beyond the standard model. In this paper, we compute the branching ratio, direct CP…

LHCb observes the $B^+_c \to D^0 K^+$ decay with $R_{D^0 K} = f_c/f_u \times {\cal B}(B^+_c \to D^0 K^+)=(9.3^{+2.8}_{-2.5} \pm 0.6)\times 10^{-7}$. The corresponding branching ratio (BR) of the decay can be estimated as ${\cal B}(B^+_c \to…

Based on the assumption of two-quark structure of the scalar meson $f_0(980)$, we calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for the four $B \to f_0(980)\pi$ and $B \to f_0(980)\etapp$ decays by employing the perturbative…

We present a general analysis on charmless B-meson decays $B\to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$. It is noticed that the final state interactions and inelastic rescattering effects must be significant in order to understand the consistency of the…

We study the exclusive decays of $B\to K^{*}\ell^+ \ell^-$ within the framework of the perturbative QCD (PQCD). We obtain the form factors for the $B\to K^{*}$ transition in the large recoil region, where the PQCD for heavy $B$ meson decays…

We report an improved measurement of direct CP violation in the decay B0 --> K+pi-, and a search for CP violation in the decays B+ --> K+pi0 and B+ --> pi+pi0. The measured CP violating asymmetries are…

We analyze the quasi-two-body decays $B^+\to\pi^+\rho(770,1450)^0 \to\pi^+ K^+K^-$ in the perturbative QCD approach. The results in this work do not support that large branching fractions contributed by the resonances $\rho(770,1450)^0$ in…

Decay rates and time-dependent and direct CP asymmetries in the decays $B^0\to K^+K^-K_{S(L)}$ and $K_S K_S K_{S(L)}$ are studied. Resonant and nonresonant contributions to the three-body decays are carefully investigated. Nonresonant…

In this work, we study the ($S$, $P$ and $D$)-wave $K^+K^-$ contributions to $B\to KKK$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach at leading order. Within the two-meson wave functions describing the nonperturbative dynamics in the kaon-pair…

In this work, we make a systematical study on the four-body $B_{(s)} \to (\pi\pi)(\pi\pi)$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach, where the $\pi\pi$ invariant mass spectra are dominated by the vector resonance $\rho(770)$ and the scalar…

We improve the perturbative QCD (PQCD) formalism for multi-body charmless hadronic $B$ meson decays, such as $B\to VP_3\to P_1P_2P_3$, by resolving the possible discrepancy in parametrizing the contribution of the $P$-wave resonance $V$ to…
