Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless two-body decays $B\to a_1(1260)K^*, b_1(1235)K^*$. Using the decays constants and the light-cone distribution amplitudes for these mesons derived from the QCD sum…

The QCD factorization (QCDF) method usually contains infrared divergences which introduce large model dependence to its predictions on charmless B decays. The amplitudes of charmless B decays can be decomposed into "tree" and "penguin"…

The decays $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to \pi^\mp K^\pm$ were observed by the CLEO collaboration last year; they may play an important role to probe the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. After a general…

In this work, we provide estimates of the branching ratios, direct $CP$ asymmetries and triple product asymmetries in $B_{(s)} \to (\pi\pi)(K\pi)$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach, where the $\pi\pi$ and $K\pi$ invariant mass spectra…

$B^\pm \to (D^0, \bar D^0, D_{CP})K^{*\pm}_{0,2}$ decays are helpful in determining the CP violation angle $\gamma$, and we analyze these decay processes within the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization. We found that the…
