The $B \to K^{*}\rho$, $ K^{*}\omega$ decays are useful to determine the CKM angle $\phi_3=\gamma$. Their polarization fractions are also interesting since the polarization puzzle of the $B\to \phi K^*$ decay. We study these decays in the…
In the heavy quark limit, both vector mesons in the charmless B -> VV decay should have zero helicity and the corresponding amplitude is proportional to the form factor difference $(A_1-A_2)$. The first observed charmless $B\to VV$ mode,…
The new measurements of $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ decays by CDF and CLEO indicate that the production ratio $R$ and the fraction of longitudinal polarization $\Gamma_L/\Gamma$ are smaller than the previous results. In conjunction with the new…
In this paper, we focus on the role of power corrections in QCD factorization(QCDF) method in charmless two-body nonleptonic $B$ meson decays. We use the ratio of the branching fraction of $B^+ \to \pi^+ K^{\ast 0}$ to that of $B^0 \to…
We have systematically investigated the semi-inclusive B decays $B\to MX$, which are manifestations of the quark decay $b \to Mq$, within a framework inspired by QCD-improved factorization. These decays are theoretically clean and have…
We calculate the branching ratios of $B\to K_1\gamma$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) of $\alpha_s$ where $K_1$ is the orbitally excited axial vector meson. The NLO decay amplitude is divided into the vertex correction and the hard spectator…
The quasi-two-body $B \to D (R\to) K \pi$ decays are calculated in PQCD approach based on the $k_T$ factorization by introducing the wave functions of $K\pi$ pair associated with the resonances $K^*(892)$, $K_0^*(1430)$ and $K_2^*(1430)$.…
In this work, we examine the observables associated with the $B\to\rho\rho$ decays, including branching fractions, $CP$ asymmetry parameters, and longitudinal polarization fractions in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach with a few…
The decay modes of the type $B \to \pi \, D $ are dynamically different. For the case $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^- D^{+} $ there is a substantial factorized contribution which dominates. In contrast, the decay mode $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^0…
We show that the QCD factorization approach for $B$-meson decays to charmless hadronic two-body final states can be extended to include electromagnetic corrections. The presence of electrically charged final-state particles complicates the…
In the heavy-quark and large-energy limits, symmetry relations reduce the number of independent form factors governing heavy-to-light $B$-meson decays. Exploiting these relations, the form factors can be parametrized while systematically…
In this article, we calculate the contribution from the nonfactorizable soft hadronic matrix element to the decay $B^0\to \chi_{c1} \pi^0$ with the light-cone QCD sum rules. The numerical results show that its contribution is rather large…
We investigate to what extent the experimental information on $B \to \pi\pi$ branching fractions and CP asymmetries can be used to better understand the QCD dynamics in these decays. For this purpose we decompose the independent isospin…
A possible explanation of the apparent disrepency between the theoretical prediction and experimental measurement of the ratio of lifetimes $\tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B_d)$ is that ``spectator effects'', which appear at $O(1/m_b^3)$ in the heavy…
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…
We present a measurement of the branching fractions of four $B^{0,-}\to D^{(*)+,0} K^- K^{0}_S$ decay modes. The measurement is based on data from SuperKEKB electron-positron collisions at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance collected with the…
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…
It is pointed out that decays of the type $B \to D \bar{D}$ have no factorizable contributions, unless at least one of the charmed mesons in the final state is a vector meson. The dominant contributions to the decay amplitudes arise from…
We investigate the exclusive nonleptonic decays $B\rightarrow \chi_{c1}K(\pi)$ in the conventional perturbative QCD (PQCD) formalism. The predictions of branching ratios and $CP$ asymmetries are given in detail. We compare our results with…
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…
