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…

The decay modes of the type $B \to \pi \, D $ are dynamically different. For the case $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^- D^{+} $ there is a substantial factorized contribution which dominates. In contrast, the decay mode $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^0…
Considering the $B$ mesonic distribution amplitude ${\phi}_{B2}$, we reinvestigated the $B$ ${\to}$ $PP$ (where $P$ $=$ ${\pi}$ and $K$) decays with the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach based on the $k_{T}$ factorization for three…
We study Lambda_{QCD}/m_B corrections to factorization in B -> K pi decays. First, we analyze these decay channels within factorization, showing that, irrespectively of the value of gamma, it is not possible to reproduce the experimental…
The problem of hadronic input in charmless nonleptonic B decays is discussed. QCD sum rules and their light-cone versions (LCSR) provide an important part of this input, such as the decay constant $f_B$ and $B\to \pi$ form factor. Employing…
We have studied extracting $|\vub/\vcb|$ by calculating the ratios ${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0\to D_s^{(*)-}(\pi^+,\rho^+))/{\cal B}(\bar{B}^0\to D_s^{(*)-}D^{(*)+})$ including penguin effects within the factorization assumption. The ratios…
Using the QCD factorization approach, we reexamine the two-body hadronic charmless $B$-meson decays to final states involving a pseudoscalar~($P$) and a vector~($V$) meson, with inclusion of the penguin contractions of spectator-scattering…
We show that the QCD factorization approach for $B$-meson decays to charmless hadronic two-body final states can be extended to include electromagnetic corrections. The presence of electrically charged final-state particles complicates the…
The branching fraction of the $B \to K\ell^+\ell^-$ decay has been measured recently by the LHC experiments, showing a deviation from theory predictions based on the Standard Model (SM). A major challenge in achieving a complete SM…

This paper is the extension of our previous work [arXiv:2108.03296] entitled Searching a systematics for nonfactorizable contributions to B hadronic decays. In order to realize the full impact of isospin analysis, and to relate decays of…
We provide a comprehensive test of factorization in the heavy-heavy $B$ decays motivated by the recent experimental data from BELLE and BABAR collaborations. The penguin effects are not negligible in the B decays with two pseudoscalar…

A general approach for evaluating the nonfactorizable contributions to the hadronic matrix elements is described in terms of the higher twist wave functions of the mesons. An example is illustrated for the $B^{0} \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays.
