TLDR
In this paper, the branching ratios of quark decay amplitudes with universal meson wave functions were derived for tree, penguin, and annihilation modes in the framework of the perturbative QCD factorization theorem.Abstract:
We compute the branching ratios of $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{B}K\ensuremath{\pi}$ decays in the framework of the perturbative QCD factorization theorem. Decay amplitudes are classified into the topologies of tree, penguin, and annihilation amplitudes, 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, and (4) the uncertainty of the current data of the ratio $R=\mathrm{Br}{(B}_{d}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{\mp}})/\mathrm{Br}{(B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}})$ and of $\mathrm{CP}$ asymmetries is too large to give a constraint of the unitarity angle ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{3}.$ Assuming ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{3}=90\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ which is extracted from the best fit to the data of $R,$ predictions for the branching ratios of the four $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{B}K\ensuremath{\pi}$ modes are consistent with data.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment, are highlighted, highlighting how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a broad sweep of physical problems, in settings ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to strongly coupled, complex systems in particle and condensed-matter physics, as well as searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of studies that investigate the physics reach at a Super B factory, an asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider with a design luminosity of 5 x 10^35 cm^-2s^-1, which is around 40 times as large as the peak luminosity achieved by the KEKB collider.

The zero-bin and mode factorization in quantum field theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian formalism that avoids double counting in effective field theories where distinct fields are used to describe different infrared momentum regions for the same particle was proposed. But the authors did not consider the non-relativistic field theory.

Final state interactions in hadronic B decays
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the final-state rescattering effects on the hadronic $B$ decay rates and their impact on direct CP violation and showed that the effect of rescattering on the CP violation is very small in the standard model even after the inclusion of FSIs.

CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.
