To testify the validity of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) and investigate its application range, one should look for a suitable process to do the job. $B\to J/\psi D$ is a promising candidate. The linear momentum of the products is relatively…

We present a calculation of the direct CP asymmetry, $A_{CP}^{dir}$, for the process $B^+ \to \pi^+ K^0$ including the effects of long-range inelastic final-state interactions (FSI). We admit three channels in our calculation: $B^+ \to…

I discuss some recent results on the systematic behavior of final state rescattering which makes use of the limit of a heavy B meson. The results suggest that soft final state interactions do not disappear in the large $m_B$ limit. Soft and…

We describe searches for $B^0$ meson decays to the charmless final states $\pi^0 K^0_SK^0_S$, $\eta K^0_S K^0_S$, and $\eta^{\prime}K^0_SK^0_S$. The data sample corresponds to $467 \times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs produced in $e^+e^-$…

The effects of final state interactions (FSI) in hadronic B-decays are investigated. The model for FSI, based on Regge phenomenology of high-energy hadronic interactions is proposed. It is shown that this model explains the pattern of…

We present a model-independent analysis of rare B decays, $B \to K^{(*)} \nu \nu$. The effect of possible new physics is written in terms of dimension-6 four-fermi interactions. The lepton number violating scalar- and tensor-type…

Using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian, the branching ratio of the (B -> K^* l^+ l^-) decay, when K^* meson is longitudinally or transversally polarized, is presented. The dependence of the branching ratio on the…

We report a study of the decay $B^0\rightarrow D K^+\pi^-$ followed by $D\rightarrow K^-\pi^+$, where $D$ indicates $D^0$ or $\bar{D}^0$. We reconstruct the $D K^+\pi^-$ state in a phase space corresponding to $D K^{*}(892)^0$. The…

We examine effects of final state interactions (FSI) in kaon decays using a new scheme without the Omnes function, and show that while Delta I=1/2 rule is impossible to be explained in terms of FSI alone, $\epsilon'/\epsilon\sim 16.5\times…

The effects of initial $b$ quark bound state for the semi-inclusive decays $B\to K(K^*) X$ are studied using light cone expansion and heavy quark effective theory methods. We find that the initial bound state effects on the branching ratios…

We calculate the so-called hard spectator corrections in ${\cal O} (\alpha_s)$ in the leading-twist approximation to the decay widths for $B \to K^{*} \gamma$ and $B \to \rho \gamma$ decays and their charge conjugates, using the Large…

Final-state rescattering effects on the hadronic B decays and their impact on direct CP violation are examined. The phenomenology of the polarization anomaly in $B\to\phi K^*$ decays is discussed.

The recent observation of the decay $\ob \to \Lambda_c^+ \bar p$ suggests that related decays may soon be visible at $e^+ e^-$ colliders. It is shown how these decays can shed light on strong final-state phases and amplitudes involving the…

Final-state rescattering effects on the hadronic B decays and their impact on direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetries are examined. Implications for some phenomenologies are briefly discussed.

A Regge model calculation relates the strong phase in $B \to DK$ to that in $B\to D\pi$. This provides a significant test of a hadronic picture of final state interactions in B decays.

Motivated by the recent measurement of the upper limit of ${B}^0 \to J/\psi D$ branching ratio, which is important in accounting for the soft $J/\psi$ production in B decays, we investigate ${B}^0 \to J/\psi D^{(\star)}$ and $\eta_c…

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…

A method parametrizing all inelastic final state interactions (FSI) in $B\to PP$ decays is presented ($P$ - pseudoscalar meson). The method explicitly shows how rescattering leads to the replacement of the short-distance amplitudes with the…

We consider the weak decays of a B meson to final states that are mixtures of S-wave radially excited components. We consider non leptonic decays of the type $B \to \rho' \pi/B \to \rho \pi$, $B \to \omega' \pi/B \to \omega \pi$ and $B \to…

The large branching ratios for $B \to K\pi$ decays as observed by the CLEO Collaboration indicate that penguin interactions contribute a major part to the decay rates and provide an interference between the Cabibbo-suppressed tree and…
