The form factors of the semileptonic $\chi_{b2}(1P)\rightarrow B_{c}\bar{l}\nu$ decay are calculated using the QCD sum rule approach. The results obtained are then used to estimate the decay widths of this transition in all lepton channels.…
We study Lambda_{QCD}/m_B corrections to factorization in B -> K pi decays. First, we analyze these decay channels within factorization, showing that, irrespectively of the value of gamma, it is not possible to reproduce the experimental…
The rare decay $B\to\pi\ell^+\ell^-$ arises from $b\to d$ flavor-changing neutral currents and could be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Here, we present the first $ab$-$initio$ QCD calculation of the $B\to\pi$ tensor form…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the $B \to \pi \rho$, $\pi\omega $ decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach up to the next-to-leading-order contributions. We find that the next-to-leading-order…
We prove that in the limit $m_b, m_c\to\infty$ with $m_c/m_b$ fixed, factorization holds at order $\alpha_s$ for the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to\Lambda_c^+\pi^-$. This proof is done in the infinite-momentum frame in which the momenta of $\pi$,…
In this talk results of the study of the $D^0 \to \pi^- e^+ \nu$ decay channel, recorded by the BaBar detector at the c.m. energy close to 10.6 GeV, are reported. The branching fraction of this channel is measured relative to the $D^0 \to…
We study charmless pure annihilation type radiative B decays within the QCD factorization approach. After adding the vertex corrections to the naive factorization approach, we find that the branching ratios of $\bar{B}^0_d\to\phi\gamma$,…
Based on the factorization approach, we show that the CLEO data for the ratio $\Gamma(B\to\psi K^*)/\Gamma(B\to \psi K)$ and the CDF measurement of the fraction of longitudinal polarization in $B\to\psi K^*$ can be accounted for by the…
Within QCD factorization approach, we employ the new results of form factors of $B_s \to \phi$ and calculate the branching fractions, CP asymmetries (CPAs) and polarization fractions of the decay modes $B_s \to \phi (\rho^0, \omega)$ in…
Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach based on $\mathbf{k_T}$ factorization, we investigate the charmless decay mode $B \to K_0^*(1430)\phi$. Under two different scenarios (S1 and S2) for the description of scalar meson…
In this paper, we calculated the branching ratios and direct CP violation of the four $B\to K\pi$ decays with the inclusion of all currently known next-to-leading order (NLO) contributions by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD)…
Surveying known hadronic rare B decays, we find that the factorization approximation can give a coherent account of $K\pi$, $\pi\pi$ and $\rho^0\pi^+$ data and give predictions for $\omega^0\pi^+$, $\rho\pi$ and $K^*\pi$ modes, {\it if…
We report on recent measurements of the branching fractions (BFs) for the decay channels B^0 -> {\pi}^-\l^+{\nu}, B^+ -> {\pi}^0\l^+{\nu}, B^+ -> {\eta}\l^+{\nu}, B^+ -> {\eta}'\l^+{\nu}, B^0 -> {\rho}^-\l^+{\nu} and B^+ ->…
In the framework of a QCD relativistic potential model we evaluate the form factors describing the exclusive decay B => \pi\pi \ell \nu. The calculation is performed in a phase space region far away from the resonances and therefore is…
The $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $J/{\psi}{\pi}$, ${\eta}_{c}{\pi}$ decays are studied in the scheme of the QCD factorization approach. The branching ratios are calculated with the asymptotic distribution amplitude of the pion. The charm quark mass…
We analyse B_{d,s} -> K(*)0 K(*)0 modes within the SM, relating them in a controlled way through SU(3)-flavour symmetry and QCD-improved factorisation. We propose a set of sum rules for such penguin-mediated decays to constrain some CKM…
We calculate the branching ratio of the non-resonant $B \to D^- \pi^+\pi^+\pi^- $ decay using a simple model based on the framework of the factorization approach. In naive factorization approach, there are only tow tree diagrams for this…

The CDF 3.7 sigma evidence of pure annihilation $B_s \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays, if confirmed, would imply a large annihilation scenario in the QCD factorization approach. This is somewhat unexpected as the large annihilation scenario was…
