As we pointed out recently, the neutral decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B_d\to\pi^0K$ may provide non-trivial bounds on the CKM angle $\gamma$. Here we reconsider this approach in the light of recent CLEO data, which look very…
We present an exploratory lattice study of $B\to\pi$ semileptonic decay form factors using the nonrelativistic lattice QCD for heavy quark with Wilson light quark on a $16^3 \times 32$ quenched lattice at $\beta=5.8$. The matrix elements…
We have measured the branching fractions for the exclusive decay modes $B\to {\chi}_{c1(2)} K(K^*)$ using a $140~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The measured…
In spite of the fact that the two-body $B$ decays into $\chi_{c2}$ such as $B \to \chi_{c2} K^{(*)}$ are suppressed by the QCD factorization effect, the inclusive $B \to \chi_{c2} X$ branching fraction amounts to one third of the…
We calculate, for the first time using unquenched lattice QCD, form factors for the rare decay B -> Kll in and beyond the Standard Model. Our lattice QCD calculation utilizes a nonrelativistic QCD formulation for the b valence quarks, the…
Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization, we studied 40 $B_c \to DS$ decay modes in the leading order and leading power, where "S" stands for the light scalar meson. Under two different scenarios (S1…
We investigate the factorization of different momentum modes that appear in matrix elements for exclusive B meson decays into light energetic particles for the specific case of B -> pi form factors at large pion recoil. We first integrate…
We study $B_{s}\to KK$ decays in the framework of the PQCD. We show that the branching ratios of $B_{s}\to (K^+ K^-, K^0 \bar{K}^0)$ are about $(22.43, 25.78) \times 10^{-6}$ for $\phi_{3}(\gamma)\simeq72^0$, which are consistent with the…
Semileptonic $B$($B_s, B_c$) decays are investigated systematically in the light-cone QCD sum rules. Special emphasis is put on the LCSR calculation on weak form factors with an adequate chiral current correlator, which turns out to be…
In the two-quark model supposition for $K_0^{*}(1430)$, which can be viewed as either the first excited state (scenario I) or the lowest lying state (scenario II), the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays…
By employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach, we calculate the branching ratios and CP violating asymmetries of the four $\bar{B}_s^0 \to K\pi$ and $K K $ decays, with the inclusion of all known next-to-leading order (NLO)…
We present results on the NLO (alpha_s^2) spectator-scattering corrections to the topological penguin amplitudes for charmless hadronic two-body B-decays in QCD factorization. The corrections can be sizable for the colour-suppressed…
Motivated by recent measurements, we investigate $B\to \pi \pi, K \pi$ decay modes in the framework of QCD improved factorization, which was recently proposed by Beneke $et al$. We find that all the measured branching ratios are well…
The effects of spectator light quark in decays of heavy mesons are considered, which vanish in the limit of factorization of matrix elements of four-quark operators over the mesons. These effects include the difference of the total widths…
For the color-suppressed $\bar{B}^0\longrightarrow D^{0}\pi^{0}$ decay, nonfactorizable contributions are expected to be leading and naive factorization description breaks down. We estimate $1/m_b$ power-suppressed nonfactorizable effect in…
Though QCD Factorization(QCDF) could produce sufficiently large $B\to K\pi$ branching ratios close to experiments, the predicted direct CP asymmetry in ${\bar B}^{0}\to K^{+}\pi^{-}$ decay is however still quite below experiment, even with…
A search for the $B^{0}\to K^{+}K^{-}$ decay is performed using $pp$-collision data collected by LHCb. The data set corresponds to integrated luminosities of 1 and 2 fb$^{-1}$ at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. This…
We study the $B_{c}$$\rightarrow$$\psi(2S)$K, $\eta_{c}(2S)$K, $\psi(3770)$K decays with perturbative QCD approach (pQCD) based on $k_T$ factorization. The new orbitally excited charmonium distribution amplitudes $\psi(1^{3}D_{1})$ based on…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for $B^0 \to K^{0} \ov K^{*0}$, $\ov K^{0} K^{*0}$, $K^+ K^{*-}$, $K^- K^{*+}$, and $B^+\to K^+ \ov K^{*0}$ and $ \ov K^0 K^{*+} $ decays by employing the low energy effective…
The charmless $B_{c}$ $\to$ $PP$, $PV$~(where $P$ and $V$ denote the light pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively) decays can occur only via the weak annihilation diagrams within the Standard Model and provide, therefore, an ideal…
