dc.descriptionThe small longitudinal polarization fractions (50%) of $B \to ϕK^*$ measured by B factories contradict with the naive theoretical counting rules. We review the current theoretical status of the $B\to VV$ decay studies and calculate many of them in the perturbative QCD factorization approach based on $k_T$ factorization. We find that the penguin annihilation and non-factorizable emission diagrams can enhance the transverse polarization fractions. The PQCD results agree with experiments for the measured $B\to ϕK^*$, $B\to ρK^*$ and $B\to ρρ$ channels, and we also predict new results (some different from other approaches) for those not yet measured channels.
