Recent Developments in the PQCD Approach

Abstract

We review recent developments in the perturbative QCD approach to exclusive hadronic B meson decays. We discuss the important next-to-leading-order corrections to B -> pi K, pi pi, and the penguin-dominated B -> PV modes, where P (V) is a pseudo-scalar (vector) meson.
