We accomplish the analytical computation of the pure weak annihilation non-leptonic $B$-meson decay amplitudes at leading power in the heavy quark expansion. The novel observation regarding such fundamental hadronic quantities is that…
In the recent literature, constraints on the CKM angle $\gamma$ arising from the branching ratios for $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ decays received a lot of attention. An important theoretical limitation of the accuracy of…
In 1998, it was shown that, if flavor SU(3) symmetry [SU(3)$_F$] is assumed in charmless $B \to PP$ decays ($P$ is a light pseudoscalar meson), some reduced matrix elements involving electroweak penguin (EWP) operators are related to those…
Based on the low-energy effective Hamiltonian with the generalized factorization, we calculate the new physics contributions to branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of the charmless hadronic decays $B_s \to h_1 h_2$ in the standard…
I review the recent progress on the perturbative QCD approach to exclusive $B$ meson decays, discussing the comparison of collinear and $k_T$ factorizations, the CP asymmetry in the $B^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decay, penguin enhancement, the…
We present the most complete analysis of the penguin correction to the extraction of the standard-model parameter sin(2\phi_1) from the B^0 -> J/psi K_S decay up to leading power in 1/m_b and to next-to-leading order in \alpha_s, \phi_1…
We propose a set of optimized observables using penguin mediated $\bar{B}_d$ and $\bar{B}_s$ decays to $K^{(*)}\bar{K}^{(*)}$ and $K^*\phi$ final states that exhibhit a reduced sensitivity to power corrections than the corresponding…
We investigate the contributions coming from the penguin operators in the nonresonant $B^- \to M \bar M \pi^-$ ($M =\pi^-, K^-, K^0$) decays. The effective Wilson coefficients of the the strong penguin operators $O_{4,6}$ are found to be…
Determinations of the CKM phase $\gamma$ from weak nonleptonic $B$ decays are affected by electroweak (EW) penguins and rescattering effects. In this talk it is explained how the EW penguin effects can be controlled with the help of SU(3)…
The difference between the CP asymmetries of the $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ and $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$ decays has been recently confirmed with an evidence larger than $5\sigma$'s. We discuss it as a possible signal of new physics associated with new…
The phenomenon of CP violation in the B system and strategies for extracting CKM phases are reviewed. We focus both on general aspects and on some recent developments including CP-violating asymmetries in B_d decays, the B_s system in light…
We present a study of non-leptonic B-meson decays, partial widths and CP asymmetries, and discuss the possibilities of determining the penguin contributions through less model-dependent phenomenological analyses. In the last section we…
We analyse the $B \to K\pi$ decays using the factorisation model with final state interaction phase shift included. We find that factorisation seems to describe qualitatively the latest CLEO data. For a test of the factorisation model, we…
We compute standard model penguin amplitudes in nonleptonic B-decays to light charmless mesons using tree amplitude data to fix hadronic parameters. The leading calculation is carried out for the alphas(mb) penguin contributions from charm…
A careful quark-diagram analysis shows that a number of two-body nonleptonic $B$ decays can occur through the so-called hairpin diagram, a QCD loop-induced graph different from penguin in final-state hadronization of valence quarks. Using…
Motivated by the measured large branching ratio of $\bar{B}^{0}\to\pi^0\pi^0$ (the so-called "$\pi\pi$" puzzle), we investigate the effects of a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ model on the tree-dominated $B\to\pi\pi$ decays. We find that…
An isospin analysis of $B\to \pi\pi$ decays yields $\sin 2\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the usual CKM angle $\alpha\equiv {\rm arg} [-V_{td} V_{tb}^\ast/(V_{ud}V_{ub}^\ast)]$ without hadronic uncertainty if isospin is a perfect symmetry. Yet…
The prolific field of B meson decays and CP violation is illustrated in a few examples of recent results: The measurement of the CKM unitarity angle $\beta = \phi_1$, the measurement of a significant violation of time reversal symmetry, an…
We discuss experimental signatures capable of nearly immediate study that would discern/constrain new physics manifested via enhanced gluonic penguin decays of the $b$.
We study the penguin pollution in the B^0 -> J/psi K_S decay up to leading power in 1/m_b and to next-to-leading order in \alpha_s, m_b being the b quark mass and \alpha_s the strong coupling constant. The deviation \Delta S_{J/psi K_S} of…
