We apply the method of QCD light-cone sum rules to calculate nonfactorizable contributions to the B -> J/psi K decay and estimate soft nonfactorizable corrections to the a_2 parameter. The corrections appear to be positive, favoring the…
We use operator product expansion and QCD light-cone sum rules to estimate the amplitude of the decay $B \to J/\psi K $ taking into account leading nonfactorizable contributions. The result is very similar to the estimate obtained earlier…
We are going to review recent advances in the theory of exclusive nonleptonic B decays. The emphasis is going to be on the factorization hypothesis and the role of nonfactorizable contributions for nonleptonic B decays. In particular, we…
In this article, we calculate the nonfactorizable soft contributions in the $B \to \eta_c K, \chi_{c0} K$ decays with the light cone QCD sum rules approach. Our results show that the nonfactorizable corrections from the soft gluon exchanges…
The method of QCD sum rules has proven to be particularly useful in heavy quark physics, where a small distance scale is provided by the inverse heavy quark mass. We present two new examples for the application of this method to B-physics:…
For the color-suppressed $\bar{B}^0\longrightarrow D^{0}\pi^{0}$ decay, nonfactorizable contributions are expected to be leading and naive factorization description breaks down. We estimate $1/m_b$ power-suppressed nonfactorizable effect in…
In this article, we calculate the contribution from the nonfactorizable soft hadronic matrix element to the decay $B^0\to \chi_{c1} \pi^0$ with the light-cone QCD sum rules. The numerical results show that its contribution is rather large…
We analyze B -> K H_c (where H_c = eta_c, J/psi, chi_{cJ(J=0,1)}) decays estimating nonfactorizable contributions from the light-cone sum rules (LCSR). Nonfactorizable contributions are sizable for B -> K J/psi and particularly for B -> K…
Applications of QCD sum rules to exclusive decays of heavy mesons are reviewed. In detail, we discuss the calculations of the B and $D$ decay constants, the heavy-to-light form factors $f^+(p^2)$ and $f^0(p^2)$, and the strong couplings…
$\bar B \to D\pi$, $D^*\pi$, $J/\psi\bar K$ and $J/\psi\pi$ decays are studied. Their amplitude is given by a sum of factorized and non-factorizable ones. The latter which is estimated by using a hard pion approximation is rather small in…
We consider the problem of factorization in B decays and illustrate the calculation of nonfactorizable contributions employing the QCD light-cone sum rule method. We present a more detailed calculation of the ``charming penguin''…
Two-body decays of B mesons are studied by decomposing their amplitude into a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using the naive factorization while the latter is calculated by using a hard pion (or…
QCD sum rules are used to estimate the flavour SU(3)-symmetry violation in two-body B decays to pions and kaons. In the factorizable amplitudes the SU(3)-violation manifests itself in the ratio of the decay constants f_K/f_pi and in the…
In light of the current discrepancies between the recent predictions based on QCD factorisation (QCDF) and the experimental data for several non-leptonic colour-allowed two-body $B$-meson decays, we obtain new determinations of the…
A new method is suggested to calculate the $B\to \pi\pi$ hadronic matrix elements from QCD light-cone sum rules. To leading order in $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_b$, the sum rule reproduces a factorizable matrix element, in accordance with the…
The hadronic decays $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ are interesting because experimentally they are the only color-suppressed modes which have been measured, and theoretically they are calculable by QCD factorization even the emitted meson $J\psi$ is…
We discuss the nonfactorization effects in $B\to J/\Psi+X_{s}$, which is similar to the nonperturbative effect found by Voloshin in the decay $B\to \gamma +X_{s}$. The QCD sum rule has been used to estimate the hadron matrix elements. We…
The accurate calculation of weak heavy-to-light form factors is crucial for the determination of CKM matrix elements from experimental data on B decays. In SCET, the soft-collinear effective theory, these form factors can, in the heavy…
We analyze the B->KK decays with the soft-gluon corrections by using the QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR). Although QCD factorization approach calculates the leading order factorization parts and the radiative corrections from hard- gluon…
We investigate the purely non-factorizable $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Xi^{0}K^{+}$ decay using light-cone sum rules. To extract the decay amplitudes, a three-point correlation function is defined and calculated at hadron and quark-gluon level,…
