B -> PV decays in the QCD improved factorization approach - art. no. 114019

Motivated by recent CLEO measurements and the progress of the theory of B d ecays, rye investigate B --> PV (P= pi, K; V = K*, rho, omega) decay modes in the framework of QCD improved factorization, We find that ail the measur ed branching ratios are well accommodated in the reasonable parameter space and predictions for the other decay modes an well below the experimental u pper limits. We also have calculated CP asymmetries in these decay modes.
