The $B^*B\pi$ and $D^*D\pi$ couplings have previously been derived from a QCD light-cone sum rule in leading order. Here, we describe the calculation of the $O(\alpha_s)$ correction to the twist 2 term of this sum rule. The result is used…

The newly observed $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^0\pi^0$ mode is quite sizable while $\pi^-\pi^+$ is rather small. Data also hint at $\pi^-\pi^0 \gtrsim \pi^-\pi^+$. Though consistent with zero, central values of CP violating asymmetries in…
