The paper deals with a next-to-leading order analysis of the radiative $B \to K^* \gamma$ decay. Working in a PQCD approach, we compute the correction to the essential form factor, coming from a single gluon exchange with the spectator. We…

From the experimental branching ratios for $B^- --> \rho^0 l^-\bar\nu_l$ and $D^+ --> {\overl K}^{*0}({\overl K}^0) e^+ \nu_e$ one finds, in the Heavy Quark Limit of $HQET$, $ |V_{bu}|=(8.1\pm 1.7) x 10^{-3}$, larger but consistent with the…

We calculate the branching ratios of $B\to K_1\gamma$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) of $\alpha_s$ where $K_1$ is the orbitally excited axial vector meson. The NLO decay amplitude is divided into the vertex correction and the hard spectator…
The radiative decay $B \to \phi K \gamma$ is observed for the first time. The branching fraction for the charged $B^- \to \phi K^- \gamma$ decay mode is measured to be ${\cal B}(B^- \to \phi K^- \gamma) = (3.4 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.4) \times…
Preliminary results are presented on the calculation of the relevant form factor for the radiative decay $\overline{B} \rightarrow K^* \gamma$ We find that the form factor is weakly dependent on the spectator quark mass. We compare the…
We calculate the next-to-leading corrections to the branching ratio of exclusive $B\to K^* \gamma$ decay. The renormalization scale dependence is reduced compared to the leading logarithmic result but there remains a dependence on a cutoff…
We examine the measured rates for the decays $D\to K^{(*)}\ell\nu$, $B\to K^{(*)}\psi^{(\prime)}$ and $B\to K^*\gamma$ in a number of scenarios, in the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. We attempt to find a scenario in which…
If the fourth generation fermions exist, the new quarks could influence the branching ratio of the rare $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay. Two possible solutions of the fourth generation CKM factor $(V^{*}_{\acute{t}s}V_{\acute{t}b})^(\pm)$…
