We study the decays $B_{c,u,d}\to X(3872)P$ in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, where the puzzling resonance $X(3872)$ is involved and $P$ represents a light pseudoscalar meson ($K$ or $\pi$). Assuming the $X(3872)$ as a $1^{++}$ charmonium state, we find the following results: (a) The branching ratios of the decays $B^+_c\to X(3872)\pi^+$ and $B^+_c\to X(3872) K^+$ are consistent with the results predicted by the covariant light-front approach within errors, but they are larger than those given by the generalized factorization approach; (b) The branching ratio of the decay $B^+\to X(3872)K^+$ is predicted as $(3.8^{+1.1}_{-1.0})\times10^{-4}$, which is smaller than the previous PQCD calculation result, but is still slightly larger than the upper limits set by Belle and BaBar. So we suggest that the decays $B^{0,+}\to X(3872)K^{0,+}$ should be precisely measured by the running LHCb and Belle II experiments, which is very helpful to probe the inner structure of the $X(3872)$; (c) Compared with the decays $B_{u,d}\to X(3872)K$, the decays $B_{u,d}\to X(3872)\pi$ have much smaller branching ratios, which drop to as low as $10^{-6}$; (d) The direct CP violations for these considered decays are very small, only about $10^{-3}\sim 10^{-2}$, because the penguin contributions are loop suppressed compared with the tree contributions. The mixing-induced CP violation of the decay $B\to X(3872)K^0_S$ is consistent well with the current world average value $\sin2\beta=(69.9\pm1.7)\%$. Testing the results for the branching ratios and the CP violations including the implicit $SU(3)$ and isospin symmetries in these decays by experiments is helpful to probe the nature of the $X(3872)$.Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence.

In this work we study the quasi-two-body decays $B\to K^*\gamma\to K\pi\gamma$ in perturbative QCD(PQCD) approach. The two-meson distribution amplitudes (DAs) are introduced to describe the final state interactions of the $K\pi$ pair, which involve the time-like form factors and the Gegenbauer polynomials.Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence.

We calculate the CP averaged branching ratios for the $B_{(s)}\to K^*\gamma\to K\pi\gamma$ decays. Our results are in agreement with the new update data measured by Belle II, which suggests these quasi-two-body decays are more appropriate to be analyzed in three-body framework than in the two-body one. We also predict the direct CP-violation asymmetries for the considered decay modes and find that $A_{CP}(B_{u,d}\to K^*\gamma\to K\pi\gamma)$ is small and less than $1\%$ in magnitude, while $A_{CP}(B_{s}\to K^*\gamma\to K\pi\gamma)$ is larger and can arrive at a few percent. Our predictions can be tested by the future B meson experiments.
