Charmless $B$ decays are dominated by contributions from the short distance amplitudes from tree level and penguin loop-level amplitudes. The Tree contribution presents a weak phase $\gamma$. The relationship between these two amplitudes…

Penguin contributions, being not negligible in general, can hide the information on the CKM angle alpha coming from the measurement of the time-dependent B0(t) -> pi+pi- CP-asymmetry. Nevertheless, we show that this information can be…

The extraction of the CKM angle $\alpha$ from the asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ vs ${\bar B^0} \to \pi^+\pi^-$ suffers from a currently unknown penguin contribution. Experimentally, one can determine the magnitude and phase of the CP…

We calculate the branching ratio of $B\to J/\Psi\pi^{0}$ with a mixed formalism that combines the QCD-improved factorization and the perturbative QCD approaches. The result is consistent with experimental data. The quite small penguin…

Non-leptonic $B$ decays into charmless final states offer an important laboratory to study CP violation and the dynamics of strong interactions. Particularly interesting are $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$ and $B^0_d\to\pi^-\pi^+$ decays, which are…

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…

We calculate CP-violating rates and asymmetry parameters in charged and neutral $B\to \pi\pi, \pi K$ and $\bar K K$ decays arising from the interference of tree and penguin (strong and electroweak) amplitudes with different strong and CKM…

We briefly recall the main formulae for computing the B -> K pi branching ratios within the "charming penguin" approach, present an updated fit to the data, and explain why we believe that, in general, these fits can hardly be used to…

The branching ratios and CP asymmetries of $B\to \pi\pi$ decays measured in B factory experiments indicate a large ratio of color-suppressed ($C$) to color-allowed ($T$) tree contributions and a large relative phase between the tree and…

The role of penguin amplitudes in CP violating $B$ decays is reviewed, emphasizing recent progress in the analysis of electroweak penguin contributions. It is shown how these terms are included in a model-independent manner when measuring…

Based on the low energy effective Hamiltonian with generalized factorization, we calculate the new physics contributions to the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of the two-body charmless hadronic decays $B \to PP, PV$ from the…

The $B\to\pi K$ decays with significant electroweak penguin contributions show a puzzling pattern. We explore this "$B\to\pi K$ puzzle" through a systematic strategy. The starting point, which is essentially unaffected by electroweak…

The effect of the penguin amplitude on extracting $\alpha$ from CP asymmetries in $B^0\to \rho^+\rho^-$ decays is studied using information on the SU(3)-related penguin amplitude in $B^+\to K^{*0}\rho^+$. Conservative bounds on…

We study charmless two-body baryonic B decays in a diagramatic approach. Relations on decay amplitudes are obtained. In general there are more than one tree and more than one penguin amplitudes. The number of independent amplitudes can be…

Within the framework of the perturbative QCD approach, we study the two-body charmless decays $B\to K_1(1270)(K_1(1400))\pi(K)$. We find the following results: (i) The decays $\bar B^0\to K_1(1270)^+\pi^-, K_1(1400)^+\pi^-$ are incompatible…

We discuss a method for extracting CP phases from pairs of B decays which are related by flavor SU(3). One decay (B0 -> M1 M2) receives a significant bbar -> dbar penguin contribution. The second (B' -> M1' M2') has a significant bbar ->…

An analysis of $B \to K\pi$ decays is given, assuming a small elastic $\pi K $ rescattering phase difference.Using factorization model only for the tree-level and electroweak penguin amplitudes, we show that the strong penguin amplitude,…

A model-independent analytical analysis for charmless B decays is presented. It is demonstrated that the CP-averaging branching ratio difference $\Delta R = R_c - R_n$ in $B\to \pi K$ decays with $R_c = 2Br(\pi^0K^-)/Br(\pi^-\bar{K}^0)$ and…

The integrated branching fraction of the process $B\to X_s l^+l^-$ is dominated by resonance background from narrow charmonium states, such as $B\to X_s\psi\to X_s l^+l^-$, which exceeds the non-resonant charm-loop contribution by two…

We show that the neglect of the $(V-A)\times (V+A)$ pieces of the electroweak penguin (EWP) amplitudes in the effective hamiltonian (the Wilson coefficients are very small) allows one to calculate the relative size of some tree and EWP…
