Based on the approach of the vector form factor $F^{+}_{B\to\pi, K}(q^2)$ in our previous papers, we extend the calculation of the radiative corrections to the $B\to P$ ($P$ stands $\pi$, $K$ and all light pseudoscalar mesons) scalar and…
We present a QCD study on $B, D\to\pi$ semileptonic transitions at zero momentum transfer and an estimate of magnitudes of the associated CKM matrix elements. Light cone sum rules (LCSRs) with chiral correlator are applied to calculate the…
In this article, we study the $B \to K^*_2(1430)$, $a_2(1320)$, $f_2(1270)$ form-factors with the light-cone QCD sum rules, where the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are used. In calculations, we observe that the line-shapes of…

We discuss applications of QCD sum rules on the light-cone to the form factors of the exclusive transitions $B \rightarrow \pi$ and $D\rightarrow \pi$, and to the $B^*B \pi$ and $D^*D \pi$ coupling constants. In the light of our results we…
Using chiral symmetry we investigate the leading SU(3) violation in the complete set of quark twist-3 light-cone distribution functions of the pion, kaon, and eta. It is shown that terms non-analytic in the quark masses do not affect the…
