The $B \to \pi$ and $B \to K$ transitions involved in hadronic B decays are investigated in a phenomenological way through the framework of QCD factorization. By comparing our results with experimental branching ratios from the BELLE, BABAR…
The decays \bar{B}-> \bar{K}D and \bar{B}-> \bar{K}\bar{D} taking into account final state interactions are discussed. These decays are described by four strong phases \delta_0,\delta_1,\bar{\delta}_0,\bar{\delta}_1 (subscripts 0 and 1…
Implications of recent CLEO measurements of hadronic charmless B decays are discussed. (i) Employing the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel (BSW) model for form factors as a benchmark, the $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ data indicate that the form factor $F_0^{B\pi}(0)$…
Direct CP violation can occur in B-meson decays of the type b -> d+c+cbar, where the charm-anticharm pair forms a J/psi. The CP asymmetry requires the contribution to the amplitude from decays into other states, which rescatter into d+J/psi…
Direct CP violation in charmless three-body hadronic decays of $B$ mesons is studied within the framework of a simple model based on the factorization approach. Three-body decays of heavy mesons receive both resonant and nonresonant…
We discuss the perturbative QCD approach for exclusive non-leptonic two body B-meson decays. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues related to the factorization approach. PQCD results are compatible with…

Motivated by the recent observation of CP violation in the charm sector by LHCb, we study direct CP asymmetries in the standard model (SM) for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed two-body hadronic decays of charmed mesons using the…
We study $D \to \pi\pi$ decays with final state interactions considered in one-particle-exchange method. A clear physical picture for final state interactions based on quark and hadronic level diagrams is presented. A strong phase is…
We analyzed the process of $B_s\rightarrow \rho \rho$ decay in QCD factorization (QCDF) and final state interaction (FSI) effects. In QCDF for this decay we have only the annihilation graph and we expected small Branching ratio. Then we…
By using very general and well established features of soft strong interactions we show, contrary to conventional expectations, that (i) soft final state interactions (FSI) do not disappear for large $m_B$, (ii) inelastic rescattering is…
The observation of CP violation has been experimentally verified in numerous $B$ decays but is yet to be confirmed in final states with half-spin particles. We focus our attention on baryonic $B$-meson decays mediated dominantly through…
Direct CP violation in the hadronic charm decays provides a good testing ground for the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in the Standard Model. Any significant deviations from the expectation would be indirect evidence of physics beyond the…
I present three studies from the LHCb experiment on the subject of direct CP violation in $B^0$ and $B_s$ decays. First, we measure the CP asymmetry in $B^\pm\to\psi K^\pm$ decays, with $\psi=J/\psi, \psi(2S)$, using 0.35 $fb^{-1}$ of $pp$…
We investigate in a phenomenological way, direct CP violation in the hadronic decays $B^{\pm,0} \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} K^{\pm,0}$ where the effect of $\rho - \omega$ mixing is included. If $N_{c}^{eff}$ (the effective parameter associated with…
The penguin loop-suppressed $B\to\phi K$ decays are highly sensitive to contributions of hypothetical heavy new particles. Particularly interesting probes for testing the Standard Model and revealing such phenomena are provided by CP…
Power corrections seem to play an important role in charmless B decays as indicated by recent analysis using QCD Factorization. In this talk, I would like to report on a recent work on power corrections in charmless B decays. By using the…
Recently, we developed a strategy to analyse the B -> pi pi,pi K data. We found that the B -> pi pi measurements can be accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through large non-factorizable effects. On the other hand, our analysis of the…
Based on the most recent data in charmless B decays including the very recently reported large direct CP violations, it is shown that the weak phase gamma can well be extracted without two-fold ambiguity even only from two decay modes…
