A comprehensive study of exclusive hadronic B-meson decays into final states containing two pseudoscalar mesons (PP) or a pseudoscalar and a vector meson (PV) is presented. The decay amplitudes are calculated at leading power in Lambda_{QCD}/m_b and at next-to-leading order in alpha_s using the QCD factorization approach. The calculation of the relevant hard-scattering kernels is completed. Important classes of power corrections, including ``chirally-enhanced'' terms and weak annihilation contributions, are estimated and included in the phenomenological analysis. Predictions are presented for the branching ratios of the complete set of the 96 decays of B^-, B^0, and B_s mesons into PP and PV final states, and for most of the corresponding CP asymmetries. Several decays and observables of particular phenomenological interest are discussed in detail, including the magnitudes of the penguin amplitudes in PP and PV final states, an analysis of the pi-rho system, and the time-dependent CP asymmetry in the K phi and K eta' final states.

  1. Towards a Global Analysis of the $b\to c\bar{u} q$ Puzzle

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    New three-particle QCD kernels for the full Weak Effective Theory basis plus a first six-coupling global fit show that the b to c u q puzzle favors four-operator new-physics models over six-operator ones.

  2. Power-enhanced leading-logarithmic QED corrections to $B_q \to \mu^+\mu^-$

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A systematic SCET treatment of the power-enhanced QED correction to Bq->mu+mu- is derived, leading QED and QED-QCD logarithms are resummed, and updated branching fractions are presented.

  3. Resolving the CP Asymmetry Puzzle in $B$ Decays with Unitarized Final-State Interactions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  4. $\bar{B}_{s,d}^{0} \to J/\psi \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ Decays in QCD Factorization

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Computes branching ratios of order 10^{-10} for Bs and 10^{-11} for Bd decays after NLO vertex corrections in QCD factorization, plus dimuon distributions and J/psi polarization.

  5. From topological amplitudes to rescattering dynamics in charmed baryon decays

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors build a bridge between topological and rescattering amplitudes for charmed baryon decays and claim the Koerner-Pati-Woo theorem fails, suggesting a measurement of Lambda_c^+ -> Sigma^+ K_S^0.

  6. Correlating $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$ to hadronic $B$ decays via $U(2)^3$ flavour symmetry

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A U(2)^3 flavour-symmetric effective field theory can consistently explain the epsilon'/epsilon anomaly and hadronic B decay CP asymmetries, with a global fit about 3 sigma better than the Standard Model.

  7. Studying the Infrared Behaviour of Improved Logarithmic Accuracy Parton Showers with Herwig

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Implementing improved logarithmic accuracy parton showers in Herwig reveals that differences in infrared cutoffs have important effects on hadron-level predictions and tunability.

  8. Precision measurement of CP violation and branching fractions in $B^{\pm} \to K^0_{\mathrm{S}} h^{\pm}$ $(h = \pi, K)$ decays and search for the rare decay $B_c^{\pm} \to K^0_{\mathrm{S}} K^{\pm}$

    hep-ex 2025-12 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Most precise CP asymmetry and branching ratio measurements for B± → K0S h± decays with no significant signal observed for the rare Bc decay.

  9. Form factors and phenomenology of $\boldsymbol{B_{(s)}}$ and $\boldsymbol{D_{(s)}}$ semileptonic decays to $\boldsymbol{\eta}$ and $\boldsymbol{\eta^\prime}$

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Updated light-cone sum rule form factors for B(s), D(s) to eta(eta') are fitted across the full q^2 range and used to extract V_ub, V_cs and V_cd with precision the authors call comparable to standard analyses.

  10. CP violation observables in baryon decays

    hep-ph 2024-11 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Time-reversal-odd CP observables in baryon decays are proportional to the cosine of strong-phase differences, so they complement sine-suppressed direct CP asymmetries.

  11. Decay constants of the two-pole $D_0^*(2300)$

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Molecular two-pole D0*(2300) decay constants are 65 and 81 MeV—much smaller than compact c¯q estimates—and imply Cabibbo-favored b-hadron branching fractions of order 10^{-5}.

  12. 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.
