We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body B-
meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The resulting factorization formula incorporates …

In the heavy-quark limit, the hadronic matrix elements entering nonleptonic B-meson decays
into two light mesons can be calculated from first principles including “nonfactorizable” …

We compute the branching ratios of B→ K π decays in the framework of the perturbative
QCD factorization theorem. Decay amplitudes are classified into the topologies of tree …

These lectures describe in detail the effective Hamiltonians for weak decays of mesons
constructed by means of the operator product expansion and the renormalization group …

Abstract The decays B→ PP, where P denotes a light pseudoscalar meson, are analyzed.
Numerous triangle relations for amplitudes hold within flavor SU (3) symmetry, relating (for …

Using the soft-collinear effective theory we derive the factorization theorem for the decays
B→ M 1 M 2 with M 1, 2= π, K, ρ, K*, at leading order in Λ/EM and Λ/mb. The results derived …

We discuss the role of electroweak penguin diagrams in B decays to two light pseudoscalar
mesons. We confirm that the extraction of the weak phase α through the isospin analysis …

We have searched for two-body charmless hadronic decays of B mesons. Final states
include ππ, Kπ, and KK with both charged and neutral kaons and pions: πρ, Kρ, and K* π; …
