b \to ss\bar{d}$ in a Vector Quark Model
The rare decay is studied in a vector quark model by adding
the contributions from exotic vector-like quarks. We find that the contribution
from box diagrams amounts to in the branching ratio, while the
-mediated tree level contribution is negligible.Comment: LaTeX, 9 pages with 1 figur
Constraint on the CKM angle alpha from the experimental measurements of CP violation in B_d^0 --> pi^+ pi^- decay
In this paper, we study and try to find the constraint on the CKM angle alpha
from the experimental measurements of CP violation in B_d^0 --> pi^+ pi^-
decay, as reported very recently by BaBar and Belle Collaborations. After
considering uncertainties of the data and the ratio r of penguin over tree
amplitude, we found that strong constraint on both the CKM angle alpha and the
strong phase delta can be obtained from the measured CP asymmetries S_{pi pi}
and A_{pi pi}: (a) the ranges of 87 degrees <= alpha <= 131 degrees and 36
degrees <= delta <= 144 degrees are allowed by 1 sigma of the averaged data for
r = 0.31; (b) for Belle's result alone, the limits on alpha and delta are 104
degrees <= alpha <= 139 degrees and 42 degrees <= delta <= 138 degrees for 0.32
<= r <= 0.41; and (c) the angle alpha larger than 90 degrees is preferred.Comment: Revtex, 17 pages with 6 ps/eps figure files, new Babar data Reported

Charm multiplicity and the branching ratios of inclusive charmless b quark decays in the general two-Higgs-doublet models
In the framework of general two-Higgs-doublet models, we calculate the
branching ratios of various inclusive charmless b decays by using the low
energy effective Hamiltonian including next-to-leading order QCD corrections,
and examine the current status and the new physics effects on the determination
of the charm multiplicity and semileptonic branching ratio .
Within the considered parameter space, the enhancement to the ratio due to the charged-Higgs penguins can be as large as a factor of 8 (3) in
the model III (II), while the ratio can be increased from
the standard model prediction of 2.49% to 4.91% (2.99%) in the model III (II).
Consequently, the value of and can be decreased simultaneously
in the model III. The central value of will be lowered slightly by
about 0.003, but the ratio can be reduced significantly from the
theoretical prediction of in the SM to , for GeV, respectively. We find that
the predicted and the measured now agree within roughly one
standard deviation after taking into account the effects of gluonic charged
Higgs penguins in the model III with a relatively light charged Higgs boson.Comment: 25 pages, Latex file, axodraw.sty, 6 figures. Final version to be

Constraints on Masses of Charged PGBs in Technicolor Model from Decay
In this paper we calculate the contributions to the branching ratio of from the charged Pseudo-Goldstone bosons appeared in one generation
Technicolor model. The current experimental results can eliminate large
part of the parameter space in the plane, and
specifically, one can put a strong lower bound on the masses of color octet

B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing and B \to X_s \gamma decay in the third type 2HDM: effects of NLO QCD contributions
In this paper, we calculated the next-to-leading order (NLO) new physics
contributions to the mass splitting \dmd and the branching ratio \brbxsga
induced by the charged Higgs loop diagrams in the third type of
two-Higgs-doublet models (model III) and draw the constraints on the free
parameters of model III. For the model III under consideration, we found that
(a) an upper limit |\ltt|\leq 1.7 is obtained from the precision data of
\dmd=0.502 \pm 0.007 ps^{-1}, while |\ltt| \approx 0.5 is favored
phenomenologicaly; (b) for decay, the NLO QCD contributions
tend to cancel the LO new physics contributions; (c) a light charged Higgs
boson with a mass around or even less than 200 GeV is still allowed at NLO
level by the measured branching ratio \brbxsga: numerically, 188 \leq \mh
\leq 215 GeV for (|\ltt|,|\lbb|)=(0.5,18); (d) the NLO QCD contributions
tend to cancel the LO contributions effectively, the lower limit on \mh is
consequently decreased by about 200 GeV; (e) the allowed region of \mh will
be shifted toward heavy mass end for a non-zero relative phase between
the Yukawa couplings \ltt and \lbb. The numerical results for the
conventional model II are also presented for the sake of a comparison.Comment: 42 pages, 18 eps figures, Revtex, new references adde
Charmless Decays Based on the six-quark Effective Hamiltonian with Strong Phase Effects II
We provide a systematic study of charmless decays (
and denote pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively) based on an
approximate six-quark operator effective Hamiltonian from QCD. The calculation
of the relevant hard-scattering kernels is carried out, the resulting
transition form factors are consistent with the results of QCD sum rule
calculations. By taking into account important classes of power corrections
involving "chirally-enhanced" terms and the vertex corrections as well as weak
annihilation contributions with non-trivial strong phase, we present
predictions for the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of decays into
PP, PV and VV final states, and also for the corresponding polarization
observables in VV final states. It is found that the weak annihilation
contributions with non-trivial strong phase have remarkable effects on the
observables in the color-suppressed and penguin-dominated decay modes. In
addition, we discuss the SU(3) flavor symmetry and show that the symmetry
relations are generally respected
Charmless hadronic decays and new physics effects in the general two-Higgs doublet models
Based on the low-energy effective Hamiltonian with the generalized
factorization, we calculate the new physics contributions to the branching
ratios of the two-body charmless hadronic decays of and mesons
induced by the new gluonic and electroweak charged-Higgs penguin diagrams in
the general two-Higgs doublet models (models I, II and III). Within the
considered parameter space, we find that: (a) the new physics effects from new
gluonic penguin diagrams strongly dominate over those from the new -
and - penguin diagrams; (b) in models I and II, new physics contributions
to most studied B meson decay channels are rather small in size: from -15% to
20%; (c) in model III, however, the new physics enhancements to the
penguin-dominated decay modes can be significant, , and
therefore are measurable in forthcoming high precision B experiments; (d) the
new physics enhancements to ratios {\cal B}(B \to K \etap) are significant in
model III, , and hence provide a simple and plausible new
physics interpretation for the observed unexpectedly large B \to K \etap
decay rates; (e) the theoretical predictions for and
in model III are still consistent with the data
within errors; (f) the significant new physics enhancements to the
branching ratios of and decays are helpful to improve the
agreement between the data and the theoretical predictions; (g) the theoretical
predictions of in the 2HDM's are generally
consistent with experimental measurements and upper limits ()Comment: 55 pages, Latex file, 17 PS and EPS figures. With minor corrections,

B_c meson rare decays in the light-cone quark model
We investigate the rare decays
and in the framework of the
light-cone quark model (LCQM). The transition form factors are calculated in
the space-like region and then analytically continued to the time-like region
via exponential parametrization. The branching ratios and longitudinal lepton
polarization asymmetries (LPAs) for the two decays are given and compared with
each other. The results are helpful to investigating the structure of
meson and to testing the unitarity of CKM quark mixing matrix. All these
results can be tested in the future experiments at the LHC.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, version accepted for publication in EPJ
