We report on the perturbative $O(\alpha_s)$ correction to the light-cone QCD sum rule for the $B\to \pi$ transition form factor $f^+$. The correction to the product $f_Bf^+$ in leading twist approximation is found to be about 30%, that is…

Recent measurement of the $\gamma\gamma^\ast$ form factor of the neutral pion in the high $Q^2$ region disagrees with {\em a priori} predictions of QCD-based calculations. We comment on existing explanations, and analyze a possibility that…
We calculate the leading-twist O(alphas^2 beta0) corrections to the B to pi transition form factor f+(0) in light-cone sum rules. We find that, as expected, there is a cancellation between the O(alphas^2 beta0) corrections to fB f+(0) and…
