An analysis of $B^+ \to K_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle S}^0 \pi^+$ and $B^+ \to K_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle S}^0 K^+$ decays is performed with the LHCb experiment. The $pp$ collision data used correspond to integrated luminosities of…
In perturbative QCD approach, based on the first order of isospin symmetry breaking, we study the direct $CP$ violation in the decay of $\bar{B}_s^0\to\rho(\omega )K^{*0}\to {\pi^+}{\pi^-}K^{*0}$. An interesting mechanism is applied to…
We study two rare decays, $Z \to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $K^+K^-$, in the perturbative QCD approach up to the next-to-leading order of the strong coupling and the leading power of $1/m_Z$, $m_Z$ being the $Z$ boson mass. The branching ratios…
Within the Standard Model, CP rate asymmetries for $B\to K^-\pi^{+,0}$ could reach 10%. With strong final state phases, they could go up to 20--30%, even for $\bar K^0\pi^-$ mode which would have opposite sign. We can account for…
By employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach, we calculated the partial next-to-leading order (NLO) contributions to $B_s \to P P$ decays ($P= \pi, K, \etap $), coming from the QCD vertex corrections, the quark-loops and…
The present paper deals with a next-to-leading order analysis of the radiative $B \to K^* \gamma$ decay. Working in the PQCD approach developed by Szczepaniak {\it et al.}, we compute the correction, coming from a single gluon exchange with…
The rare decays $B_s^0\to D^\pm \pi^\mp$ and $\bar B_s^0\to D^\mp \pi^\pm$ can occur only via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. In this paper, we calculate branching ratios of these decays in perturbative QCD approach…
