Non-factorizable contribution in B decays

Abstract

Two body decays of B mesons are studied by decomposing their amplitude into a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using a naive factorization while the latter is assumed to be dominated by dynamical contributions of various hadron states and is calculated by using a hard pion (or kaon) technique in the infinite momentum frame. Possible roles of the non-factorizable contributions are discussed by comparing the result with experiments.
