Non Leptonic Two Body Decays of B Mesons

Abstract

Within the framework of the factorization approximation, two body non-leptonic decays of $B$ mesons are related to semileptonic matrix elements and form factors, evaluated with an effective lagrangian incorporating both chiral and heavy quark symmetries. Using semileptonic $D$-decay data, estimates for nonleptonic processes are obtained.
