We present a detailed study of non-leptonic two-body decays of B mesons based on a generalized factorization hypothesis. We discuss the structure of non-factorizable corrections and present arguments in favour of a simple phenomenological…
We study the nonresonant three-body decays of $B^{+}\to D^{(*)-}_{s} K^{+} \pi^{+}$ and $B_{d}\to D_{s}^{(*)-} K^{0} \pi^{+}$. We find that these decays can provide the information on the time-like form factors of $D^{(*)}_{s} K$. We also…
The Bc -> J/psi(Bs,Bs*)+ n pi decay amplitudes are calculated in the frame work of factorization model, which allows to represent this processes as Bc decay into J/psi Bs+W* followed by the virtual W*-boson decay into the final set of pi…
In six chosen scenarios for the $q^2$ dependence of the form factors involved in $D_s^+ \rightarrow \phi $ transition, we have determined the allowed domain of $x = A_2(0) / A_1(0)$ and $y = V(0)/A_1(0)$ from the experimentally measured…
Using NLL values for Wilson coefficients and including the contributions from the penguin diagrams, we estimate the amount of nonfactorization in two-body hadronic B decays. Also, we investigate the model dependence of the nonfactorization…
We perform the first three-dimensional measurement of the amplitudes of $B\to \psi(2S) K^*$ and $B\to \chi_{c1} K^*$ decays and update our previous measurement for $B\to J/\psi K^*$. We use a data sample collected with the BaBar detector at…

In this paper, we study the non-leptonic $B_{c}\to J/\psi V$ and $B_{c}^{*}\to\eta_{c}V$~$(V=\rho\,,K^{*})$ weak decays in the framework of QCD factorization. In the evaluation, the form factors are calculated by using the…
We consider the exclusive decay $B\to J/\psi K$ using the QCD-improved factorization method in the heavy quark limit. It is shown that the decay amplitude is factorizable in this limit and nonfactorizable contributions are calculable from…
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…
An analysis of the decay B0 -> J/psi K*(892)0 is presented using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1, collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV with the LHCb detector. The polarisation amplitudes…

We present a measurement of the decay amplitudes in B-->J/psi K^*(892) channels using 20.7 fb-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at PEP-II. We measure a P-wave fraction R_perp = (16.0+/-3.2+/-1.4)% and…
As the annihilation contributions play important roles in solving the puzzle of the small longitudinal polarizations in $B\to K^* \phi$ decays, we examine the similar effects in the decays of $B\to K^*_{0,2}(1430) \phi$. For the…
We study the nonleptonic decays of $B\to PP$ in the modified perturbative QCD approach, where $P$ stands for pseudoscalar mesons. Transverse momenta of partons and the Sudakov factor are included, which help to suppress the contributions of…
Non-leptonic two-body decays are discussed on the basis of a generalized factorization approach. It is shown that a satisfactory description of numerous decay processes can be given using the same two parameters a_1^{eff} and a_2^{eff}.…
The amplitudes for decays of the type $B_{d,s} \to D_{s,d} D_{s,d}$, have no factorizable contributions, while $B_{d,s} \to D_{s,d} D^*_{s,d}$, and $B_{d,s} \to D^*_{s,d} D^*_{s,d}$ have relatively small factorizable contributions through…
I discuss QCD sum rules determinations of the form factors governing the decay $B \to \pi (\rho) \ell \nu$. For some of these form factors the computed dependence on the momentum transferred does not agree with the expectation from the…
