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…
The first observation of the $B_s^0 \to \overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-$ decay is reported, together with the most precise branching fraction measurement of the mode $B^0 \to \overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-$. The results are obtained from an analysis of $pp$…
We calculate the $B_{u,d,s}\to T$ form factors within the framework of the perturbative QCD approach, where $T$ denotes a light tensor meson with $J^P=2^+$. Due to the similarities between the wave functions of a vector and a tensor meson,…
We propose a new method for precise determination of |V_{td} / V_{ub}| from the ratios of branching ratios BR(B -> \rho \nu \bar \nu ) / BR(B ->\rho l \nu ) and BR(B -> \pi \nu \bar \nu ) / BR(B -> \pi l \nu ). These ratios depend only on…
We report on determinations of |Vub| resulting from studies of the branching fraction and q^2 distributions in exclusive semileptonic B decays that proceed via the b->u transition. Our data set consists of the 9.7x10^6 BBbar meson pairs…

The decay process $B\to D^+ D^- \pi^0$ is an interesting channel for the investigation of CP violating effects in the $b-$ sector. We write down a decay amplitude constrained by a low-energy theorem, which also includes the contribution of…
The various decay modes of the type $B \to \gamma D^* $ are dynamically different. In general there are factorizable contributions, and there are pole diagrams and pseudoscalar exchange contributions at meson level. The purpose of this…
Radiative $\bar{B}^0(\bar{B}^0_s)\rightarrow J/\psi \gamma$ decays provide an interesting case to test our understanding of (non)perturbative QCD and eventually to probe physics beyond the standard model. Recently, the LHCb Collaboration…
