Title: RECENT PROGRESS IN QCD FACTORIZATION FOR B → M<sub>1</sub>M<sub>2</sub>
Abstract: After briefly introducing the framework of QCD factorization for B → M 1 M 2 in the language of the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, we firstly address the recent efforts on higher-order radiative corrections in QCD factorization. Then we discuss some phenomenologies in B → VV within the framework of QCD factorization.
