We consider two body decays of B meson into a light vector (V) and a pseudoscalar (P) meson. The constraint obtained from the $B\to P P$ modes on the parameter space of the input parameters is imposed also on $B\to V P$ modes. In particular…

We discuss multichannel inelastic rescatterring effects in B decays into a pair $PP$ of pseudoscalar mesons ($PP = \pi \pi$ or $K\bar{K}$). In agreement with short-distance models it is assumed that initially $B$ meson decays dominantly…

We study the (tree-level) weak radiative decays of $B$ mesons. We present a numerical estimate for the inclusive $b \to X_c \gamma (\gamma)$ modes based on the free-quark decay. We then review what is known for the $B \to D^\star \gamma$…
With the generalized factorization approximation, we calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries in B meson decays into two charmless pseudoscalar mesons. We give a new estimation of the matrix elements of (S+P)(S-P) current products…

The leptonic radiative decay $B \to \gamma l\nu$ is of great importance in the determination of $B$ meson wave functions, and evaluating the form factors $ F_{V,A}$ are the essential problem on the study of this channel. We computed…
We re-analyze hadronic decays of B mesons to a pseudoscalar (P) and a tensor meson (T), or a vector meson (V) and a tensor meson, through a $b \to c$ transition. We discuss possible large uncertainties to branching ratios (BR's) of the…
