The B-decay constant $f_B$ is an important component for studying $B$-meson decays, which can be studied through QCD sum rules. We make a detailed discussion on $f_B$ from two sum rules, i.e. sum rules I and II, which are derived from the…
Using the QCD sum rules technique we study several aspects of the phenomenology of the b-flavoured strange meson $B_s^0$. In particular, we evaluate the mass of the particle, the leptonic constant and the form factors of the decays…
Masses and decay constants of mesons containing a single $c$ or $b$ quark are described within the framework of heavy-quark symmetry. The $B_s^* - B_s$ and $\bar B^{*0} - \bar B^0$ mass splittings are found equal to within a fraction of an…
