We consider the exclusive decay $B\to J/\psi K$ using the QCD-improved factorization method in the heavy quark limit. It is shown that the decay amplitude is factorizable in this limit and nonfactorizable contributions are calculable from…
The transition form factors of $\bar B_s^0\to D_{s}^+(2317)$ and $\bar B_s^0\to D_s^+(1968)$ at large recoil region are investigated in the light cone sum rules approach, where the heavy quark effective theory is adopted to describe the…
The $B_{l4}$ decays offer an independent method for determining the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $\vert V_{ub} \vert$, with a QCD analysis of the underlying $B \to \pi\pi$ form factors serving as a crucial component. We present…
Precision calculations of heavy-to-light form factors are essential to sharpen our understanding towards the strong interaction dynamics of the heavy-quark system and to shed light on a coherent solution of flavor anomalies. We briefly…
We classify LambdaQCD/mb power corrections to nonleptonic B-> M1 M2 decays, where M1 and M2 are charmless non-isosinglet mesons. Using recent developments in soft-collinear effective theory, we prove that the leading contributions to…
We derive new QCD sum rules for $B\to D$ and $B\to D^*$ form factors. The underlying correlation functions are expanded near the light-cone in terms of $B$-meson distribution amplitudes defined in HQET, whereas the $c$-quark mass is kept…
In this paper we study the semileptonic decay $B\to\pi l \nu$ and in particular the factorizable contribution to symmetry breaking corrections to the form factors at large recoil. This contribution is a convolution of the coefficient…
We calculate the branching ratio and $CP$ violations for $B\to K\pi$ decays in a modified perturbative QCD approach based on $k_{T}$ factorization. The resummation effect of the transverse momentum regulates the endpoint singularity. Using…

We address the nonperturbative effects associated with soft charm quarks in inclusive B decays. Such corrections are allowed by the OPE, but have largely escaped attention so far. The related four-quark `double heavy' expectation values of…
We review theoretical approaches to form factors that arise in heavy-meson decays and are hadronic expressions of non-perturbative QCD. After motivating their origin in QCD factorisation, we retrace their evolution from quark-model…
Usually, B->pi+pi- decays are expressed in terms of weak amplitudes explicitly dependent on the CKM weak phase alpha or gamma. In this letter, we show that the weak amplitudes can be rewritten such that a manifest dependence on beta emerges…
We investigate the weak decays of $\bar B_{s}^{0}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ to charm hadrons based on the dynamical supersymmetry between the $\bar s$ quark and the $ud$ diquark. We derive a new sum rule relating the decay rates of the processes…
