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…
We use currently available data of nonleptonic charmless 2-body $B\to MM$ decays ($MM = PP, PV, VV$) that are mediated by $b\to (d, s)$ QCD- and QED-penguin operators to study weak annihilation and new-physics effects in the framework of…
Exploiting $B$-meson decays for Standard Model tests and beyond requires a precise understanding of the strong final-state interactions that can be provided model-independently by means of dispersion theory. This formalism allows one to…
Various new measurements in charmless $B_{u,d,s}\to PP$ modes, where $P$ is a low lying pseudoscalar meson, are reported by Belle and LHCb. These include the rates of $B^0\to\pi^0\pi^0$, $\eta\pi^0$, $B_s\to\eta'\eta'$, $B^0\to K^+K^-$ and…
Using the recent experimental data of $B\to D^{(*)}(\pi,\rho)$, $B\to D^{(*)} D_s^{(*)}$, $B\to J/\psi K^{(*)}$ and various model calculations on form factors, we re-analyze the effective coefficients a_1 and a_2 and their ratio. QCD and…

In this paper, in order to probe the spectator-scattering and weak annihilation contributions in charmless $B_s\to VV$ (where $V$ stands for a light vector meson) decays, we perform the $\chi^2$-analyses for the end-point parameters within…
We study the exclusive decays of $B$ meson into pseudoscalar charmonium states $\eta_c$ and $\eta_c^\prime$ within the QCD factorization approach and find that the nonfactorizable corrections to naive factorization are infrared safe at…
We study the nonleptonic charmless $B_{u,d,s} \to K_0^*(1430)P$ $(P=K\,, \pi)$ and $ K_0^*(1430)V$ $ (V=K^*\,, \rho\,, \omega\,, \phi)$ decays. The amplitudes are calculated within the QCD factorization, and the non-perturbative quantities…
An attempt is made to identify circumstances under which the weak decays of $D$ and $B$ mesons may display large differences between eigenphases of strong final-state interactions. There are several cases in which rescattering from other…
Penguin transitions play a key role in the search of New Physics hints in the heavy flavor sector. During the last decade CDF has been exploring this opportunity with a rich study of two--body charmless decays of neutral B mesons into…
The rare decay $\bar B_d^0\to J/\psi \phi$ can proceed in four distinct mechanisms: (i) production of the $\phi$ via tri-gluon fusion, (ii) photoproduction of the $J/\psi$ or $\phi$, (iii) final-state rescattering of $D_s^{(*)}D_s^{(*)}$…
The charmed B decays, $B\to DP, ~D^*P$ and $DV$, are re-analyzed using the latest experimental data, where $P$ and $V$ denote the pseudoscalar meson and vector meson, respectively. We perform global fits under the assumption of flavor SU(3)…
We analyze final state strong interaction effects in $B -> D \rho$ and $B -> D^{*}\pi$ decays using the Regge model. We find that, due to the smallness of the contributions from the non-leading Regge trajectories ($\rho$, $f$, $\pi$ etc.),…

We investigate the possibility of testing factorization hypothesis in non-leptonic exclusive decays of B-meson. In particular, we considered the non factorizable \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} D_s^{(*)-} modes and \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} (\pi^-,…
We point out that in decays of the type $B^- \to D^* K^-$, where the neutral $D^*$ meson is an admixture of $D^{*0}$ and $\bar{D}^{*0}$, there is an effective strong phase difference of $\pi$ between the cases that the $D^*$ is…
In this letter we suggest that the obvious discrepancy between theoretical prediction on the $\mathrm{non}-D\bar D$ decays of $\psi(3770)$ and data is to be alleviated by taking final state interaction (FSI) into account. By assuming that…
