Qcd-improved Factorization in Nonleptonic B Decays
Nonleptonic decays ofB mesons have attracted a lot of attention recently since they were observed experimentally in CLEO, BaBar and BELLE. These decays are important in extracting the information on the Cabibbo-KobayashiMaskawa (CKM) matrix elements and CP violation. On the theoretical side, it is the least understood area. Since nonleptonic decays involve nonperturbative effects such as final-...
متن کاملNew Results on Flavor Physics
Recent progress in flavor physics is discussed. In particular, I review theoretical and experimental developments relevant for semileptonic B decays and the determination of |Vcb| and |Vub|, for exclusive rare decays, for nonleptonic b → c decays and tests of factorization, and for D meson mixing.

متن کاملQcd and Heavy Hadron Decays ∗
We review recent developments in QCD pertaining to its application to weak decays of heavy hadrons. We concentrate on exclusive rare and nonleptonic B-meson decays, discussing both the theoretical framework and phenomenological issues of current interest.
متن کاملQCD factorization and CP asymmetries in hadronic B decays
We review recent advances in the theory of strong-interaction effects and final-state interactions in hadronic weak decays of heavy mesons. In the heavy-quark limit, the amplitudes for most nonleptonic, two-body B decays can be calculated from first principles and expressed in terms of semileptonic form factors and lightcone distribution amplitudes. We summarize the main features of this novel ...
متن کاملNonleptonic B decays into two light mesons in soft-collinear effective theory
We consider nonleptonic B decays into two light mesons at leading order in softcollinear effective theory, and show that the decay amplitudes are factorized to all orders in αs. The operators for nonleptonic B decays in the full theory are first matched to the operators in SCETI, which is the effective theory appropriate for √ mbΛ < μ < mb with Λ ∼ 0.5 GeV. We evolve the operators and the relev...
