Abstract:
We examine the applicability of perturbative QCD to BB meson decays into DD mesons. We find that the perturbative QCD formalism, which includes Sudakov effects at intermediate energy scales, is applicable to the semi-leptonic decay BDlνB\to D l\nu, when the DD meson recoils fast. Following this conclusion, we analyze the two-body non-leptonic decays BDπB\to D\pi and BDDsB\to DD_s. By comparing our predictions with experimental data, we extract the matrix element Vcb=0.044|V_{cb}|=0.044.
