Nonleptonic $B$ to charmonium decays generally show deviations from the factorization predictions. For example, the mode $B^- \to K^- \chi_{c0}$ has been experimentally observed with sizeable branching fraction while its factorized…
The $B^{-} \to \chi_{c0} K^{-}$ decay which has no visible factorizable amplitude, could be induced by the Cabibbo-allowed, color-favored $B^{-} \to D_{s}D^{*0}$, $B^{-} \to D^{*0}_{s}D^{0}$ and $B \to D_{s}^{*}D^{*}$ via the rescattering…
We study the process $B^- \to K^- \chi_{c0}$ considering intermediate charmed meson rescattering effects. For this decay mode the naive factorization ansatz would predict a vanishing amplitude. We estimate contributions from the…
We analyze nonleptonic $B_s$ decays to a charmonium state and a light meson, induced by the $b \to c {\bar c}s$ transition, which are useful to access the $B_s$-${\bar B}_s$ mixing phase $\beta_s$. We use generalized factorization and…
Nonleptonic $B_c$ decays to $P$-wave charmonia and light $\pi^+$, $K^+$, and $\rho^+$, $K^{*+}$ mesons are analysed using factorization. The hadronic form factors parametrizing the $B_c \to \chi_{cJ}(h_c)$ matrix elements are expressed in…

We compare the factorization approach, the perturbative QCD approach and the Beneke-Buchalla-Neubert-Sachrajda approach to nonleptonic charmless $B$ meson decays. We discuss their treatments of factorizable, nonfactorizable, and…
We analyze the $B\to (J/\psi, \chi_{c0},\chi_{c1},\eta_c)K^{(*)}$ decays, which have small or even vanishing branching ratios in naive factorization assumption (FA). We calculate nonfactorizable corrections to FA in the perturbative QCD…
We study the exclusive two-body nonleptonic $B_c\to X_{c\bar{c}}M$ decays, where $X_{c\bar{c}}$ is either a ground(1S) or a radially excited (2S or 3S) charmonium and $M$ is a pseudoscalar $(P)$ or a vector $(V)$ meson. We consider here…
In this paper, we study nonleptonic charmless B decays to two light pseudoscalar mesons within the frame of QCD factorization, including the contributions from the chirally enhanced power corrections and weak annihilation. Predictions for…
We study the semi-leptonic and non-leptonic $B$ weak decays which are governed by the $B\rightarrow D^{(*)}$ transitions. The branching ratios, CP asymmetries (CPA) and polarization fractions (FA) of non-leptonic decays are investigated in…
The form factors of weak decays of the B_c meson to orbitally excited charmonium, D, B_s and B mesons are calculated in the framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. Relativistic effects…
We make a systematic investigation on the two-body nonleptonic decays $B_c\rightarrow J/\Psi(\eta_c),M$ by employing the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization, where $M$ is a light pseudoscalar or vector or a heavy charmed…
Status of nonfactorizable effects in hadronic charmless B decays is reviewed. Implications of new CLEO measurements on $B^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B\to\eta' K$ are discussed. Nonfactorizable effects due to color ocet 4-quark operators are…

The semileptonic decays, $B_{c}{\longrightarrow}{\chi_c}(h_c)+{\ell}+{{\nu}}_{\ell}$, and the two-body nonleptonic decays, $B_{c}{\longrightarrow}{\chi_c}(h_c)+h$, (here $\chi_c$ and $h_c$ denote $(c\bar c[^3P_J])$ and $(c\bar c[^1P_1])$…
Motivated by the large rates of $B\rightarrow (\chi_{c0}, \chi_{c2}, h_c)K$ decays observed by the $BABAR$ and Belle collaborations, we investigate the nonfactorizable contributions to these factorization-forbidden decays, which can occur…
