CP asymmetries for two-body-nonleptonic $B^{0} - \bar{B}^{0}$ decay into non-CP-eigen states are calculated using two different methods: (i) Bauer, Stech, and Wirbel factorization method to compute the decay amplitudes directly; (ii) using…

We studied the nonleptonic $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $BP$, $BV$ decay with the QCD factorization approach. It is found that the Cabibbo favored processes of $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $B_{s}{\pi}$, $B_{s}{\rho}$, $B_{u}\bar{K}$ are the promising decay channels…

Using the generalized factorization approach, we calculate the CP asymmetries of charmless B decays. A number of decay channels has large CP asymmetries, which can be measured in the B factories.

The two-body nonleptonic weak decays of \Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c P(V) (P and V represent pseudoscalar and vector mesons respectively) are analyzed in two models, one is the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) model and the other is the hadronic wave…

This thesis examines the non-leptonic B-decays within QCD factorisation and beyond, to challenge the assumptions and limitations of the method. We analyse the treatment of the distribution amplitudes of light mesons and present a new model…
