We examine the measured rates for the decays $D\to K^{(*)}\ell\nu$, $B\to K^{(*)}\psi^{(\prime)}$ and $B\to K^*\gamma$ in a number of scenarios, in the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. We attempt to find a scenario in which…

The CLEO Collaboration recently reported the observation of the $B^0\to D^{*-}p\bar{n}$ mode at a rate only a factor of 4--5 lower than $B^0\to D^{*-}\rho^+$ and $D^{*-}\pi^+$. We try to understand this with a factorization approach of…

We study the first observed charmless $B\to VV$ modes, the $B\to\phi K^*$ decays, in perturbative QCD formalism. The obtained branching ratios $B(B\to\phi K^*)\sim 15 \times 10^{-6}$ are larger than $\sim 9\times 10^{-6}$ from QCD…

In the standard model the two-body charmless hadronic $B_c$ meson decays can occur via annihilation diagrams only. In this work, we studied the $B_c \to PP, PV/VP,VV$ decays by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach.…

We consider rare semileptonic decays of a heavy $D$-meson into a light vector meson in the framework of QCD factorization. In contrast to the corresponding $B$-meson decays, the naive factorization hypothesis does not even serve as a first…
