To leading order in $\alpha_s$, we evaluate the leading and non-leading $1/M_b$ corrections to the $B^*B\pi$ and $B^*B\gamma$ couplings using QCD spectral moment sum rules in the full theory. We find that, for large $M_b$ and contrary to…

Heavy-hadron chiral perturbation theory (HH$\chi$PT) is applied to the decays of the even-parity charmed strange mesons, D_{s0}(2317) and D_{s1}(2460). Heavy-quark spin symmetry predicts the branching fractions for the three electromagnetic…
