abstract

We compute branching ratios of $B\to K\pi$ decays in the framework of perturbative QCD factorization theorem. Decay amplitudes are classified into the topologies of tree, penguin and annihilation, all of which contain both factorizable and nonfactorizable contributions. These contributions are expressed as the convolutions of hard $b$ quark decay amplitudes with universal meson wave functions. It is shown that (1) matrix elements of penguin operators are dynamically enhanced compared to those employed in the factorization assumption; (2) annihilation diagrams are not negligible, contrary to common belief; (3) annihilation diagrams contribute large strong phases; (4) the uncertainty of current data of the ratio $R={\cal B}(B_d^0\to K^\pm\pi^\mp)/{\cal B}(B^\pm\to K^0\pi^\pm)$ and of CP asymmetries is too large to give a constraint of $\phi_3$. Assuming $\phi_3=90^o$ which is extracted from the best fit to the data of $R$, predictions for the branching ratios of the four $B\to K\pi$ modes are consistent with data.

    A unitarized FSI framework with no adjustable parameters for B decays, calibrated on BaBar γγ o D Dbar data, predicts enhanced CP asymmetries in pure-annihilation channels that match existing measurements.

    The Lambda_Q baryon LCDA at mass m_Q equals (m_Q/m_Q^0)^2 times the LCDA at m_Q^0 evaluated at rescaled fractions x_i*m_Q/m_Q^0, times an exponentiated anomalous dimension, plus renormalon-model power corrections.

    An improved global fit of two-meson distribution amplitudes in the PQCD framework yields better convergence of the Gegenbauer expansion and resolves the Bs→K*Kbar* polarization puzzle, though the headline results are ...

    Predictions for B to X(2370) branching fractions, around 10^-6 semileptonic and 10^-8 nonleptonic, suggest the glueball candidate is within Belle-II's reach.

  5. Unquenched Charmonium and Beyond

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    This Lanzhou-group review argues that coupled-channel (unquenched) effects, not exotic constituents, are the common thread explaining charmonium anomalies from the rho-pi puzzle to the Y-problem states.
