We examine the charmless hadronic B decay modes in the context of R-parity violating ($\rpv$) supersymmetry. We try to explain the large branching ratio (compared to the Standard Model (SM) prediction) of the decay $B^{\pm}\to \eta'…

Nonleptonic charmless B decays into a pseudoscalar (P) or a vector (V) meson accompanying a tensor (T) meson are re-analyzed. We scrutinize the hadronic uncertainties and ambiguities of the form factors which appear in the literature. The…

It is very important to know the strength of annihilation contribution in B charmless nonleptonic decays. $\bar{B}_{s}\to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ process could serve a good probe of the strength. We have studied the process in QCD factorization…
