Importance of studies of $b$ quark decays and experimental status of various measurements are discussed.
Many known models, which generally use a factorization hypothesis, give a poor account of the decays B into J/psi + K(*). Usually there is a free overall factor, which is fit to the data, so that tests of the models rely upon ratios. The…
A new experimental technique to study the decays of $B^0_s$ mesons into final states involving unreconstructable particles is proposed. The method uses a characteristic feature of fast flavour oscillations of $B^0_s$ mesons. Analysis of the…
We prove factorization in the decay of a B meson into a D* + jet using the Large Energy Effective Theory. The proof is non perturbative, does not require any gauge fixing and is exact in the limit of a very narrow jet. On the other hand, it…
The two $B$-factories, Belle and BaBar, has been played major roles in the B decays study. Their wonderful design and excellent operation enables their fruitful analysis results. Also recently the Tevatron experiments, CDF and DO, join the…
The measurement and precision at B physics experiment are reviewed by taking into account of the numbers of B mesons to be produced in the future experimental projects. With $10^9$ or more B mesons we will be able to fix the parameters in…
This is a discussion of the main branching fractions of B Meson decays $(b\to cW^{-})$. A summary of what has been measured and what remains unmeasured is presented.
It is shown that the existing data on two-body B decays, some of them only upper limits, are precise enough to perform an isospin analysis to extract the phase shifts due to final state interaction. Unlike charm decays, no significant final…
Recent theoretical investigations of two-body hadronic B decays have provided justification for the use of the factorization ansatz to evaluate the B decay matrix elements. Motivated by this, we present simplified formulae for a wide range…
We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings; that is, we study the number of ways a permutation can be decomposed into a product of a given number of 2-cycles, 3-cycles, etc.…
Progress in the theoretical description of B-meson decays, in particular decays to light hadrons, is reviewed. The factorization properties of such decays can be analyzed using the soft-collinear effective theory. Applications of the…
The heavy to light form factors in $B$ decays are discussed. Critical discussion of theoretical approaches is made with special emphasis on their failure to describe the $B \to K^{(\ast )}\psi$ data.
Two-body weak decays / and are examined under isospin analysis to study nonfactorizable contributions. After extracting the strong phases and obtaining the factorizable contributions from spectator-quark diagrams for Nc=3, we determine…
We calculate the inclusive decays $B\to X_s\psi$ and $B\to X_s\eta_c$ using factorization assumption. To investigate the bound state effect of the decaying B meson in these inclusive decays we take into account the motion of the $b$ quark…
Estimates are presented for the branching ratios of several two-particle B-meson decays into flavoured scalar mesons.
Recent progress in the theory of B-meson decays is reviewed with emphasis on the aspects related to the B-factory data.
We show that the factorization assumption in color-suppressed $B$ meson decays is not ruled out by experimental data on $B \ra K(K^*) + J/\Psi(\Psi^{'})$. The problem previously pointed out might be due to an inadequate choice of hadronic…
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…
We present an overview of rare K, D and B decays. Particular attention is devoted to those flavour-changing neutral-current processes of K and B mesons that offer the possibility of new significant tests of the Standard Model. The…
We summarize some persistent problems in scalar spectroscopy and discuss what could be learned here from charmless B-decays. Recent experimental results are discussed in comparison with theoretical expectations: a simple model based on…
