Branching Ratios and CP Asymmetries of B Decays to a Vector and a Pseudoscalar Meson

Abstract

We consider two body decays of B meson into a light vector (V) and a pseudoscalar (P) meson. The constraint obtained from the $B\to PP$ modes on the parameter space of the input parameters is imposed also on $B\to VP$ modes. In particular we constrain $\xi \equiv (1/N_c)$ for those modes from recently measured $B\to \omega K,\varphi K$ and are able to get a satisfactory pictures for all modes where data exists. Modes that should be seen shortly and those with possibly large CP asymmetries are identified.
