B → ρ（ω, φ）η（＇） Decays and NLO Contributions in pQCD Approach

By employing the perturbative QCD （pQCD） factorization approach, we calculate some important next- to-leading-order （NLO） contributions to the two-body charmless hadronic decays B^＋ →ρ^＋η（＇） and B^0 → ρ^0（ω, φ）η（＇）, induced by the vertex QCD corrections, the quark-loops as well as the chromo-magnetic penguins. From the numerical results and phenomenological analysis we find that （a） for B^± → ρ^±η（＇） （B^0 → ρ^0（ω, φ）η（＇）decays, the partial NLO contributions to branching ratios are small （large） in magnitude; and （b） the pQCD predictions for ACP^dir（B^± → ρ^±η（＇）） are consistent with the data, while the predicted .ACP（B^0 → ρ^0（ω）η（＇）） are generally large in magnitude and could be tested by the forthcoming LHCb experiments.
