Quark Diagram Analysis of Bottom Meson Decays Emitting Pseudoscalar and Vector Mesons

This paper presents the two body weak nonleptonic decays of B mesons emitting pseudoscalar (P) and vector (V) mesons within the framework of the diagrammatic approach at flavor SU(3) symmetry level. Using the decay amplitudes, we are able to relate the branching fractions of B PV decays induced by both b c and b u transitions, which are found to be well consistent with the measured data. We also make predictions for some decays, which can be tested in future experiments.
