QCD Sum Rules for Heavy Flavors

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We give a short review of QCD sum rule results for B and D mesons and Lambda_Q and Sigma_Q baryons. We focus mainly on recent developments concerning semileptonic B->pion and D->pion transitions, pion couplings to heavy hadrons, decay constants and estimates of the b quark mass from a baryonic sum rule, and the extraction of the pion distribution amplitude from CLEO data.
