We calculate the form factors for weak decays of $B_{(s)}$ and $D_{(s)}$ mesons to light pseudoscalar and vector mesons. To reveal the intimate connection between different decay modes and to be able to perform the calculations in the full…
In the large $N_c$ limit, the $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ can be treated as bound states of chiral solitons and mesons containing a heavy quark. We show that the soliton and heavy meson are bound in an attractive harmonic oscillator…
Motivated by the calculation of observables in the decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c\left({1 \over 2}^\pm \right) \ell \overline{\nu}$, as tests of Lepton Flavor Universality, we present a calculation of form factors in the quark model. Our…
In the heavy quark limit, the heavy baryon $\Lambda_Q$ (Q=b or c) can be regarded as composed of a heavy quark and a scalar light diquark which has good spin and flavor quantum numbers. Based on this picture we establish the Bethe-Salpeter…
We use simulations of heavy quark effective field theory to calculate the Isgur-Wise function, and we demonstrate the feasibility of calculating the matrix element for the $B \to \pi + \leptons$ decay in the lattice heavy quark effective…
Charm and bottom baryons and mesons are studied within the framework of a relativistically covariant 3D reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We carry out an analysis of semileptonic decays of heavy hadrons within this framework using…
We study the decay constants and form factors of the ground-state s-wave and low-lying p-wave mesons within a covariant light-front approach. Numerical results of the form factors for transitions between a heavy pseudoscalar meson and an…
The electromagnetic (EM) form fators of the pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated in the light-front framework. We extract these form factors from the relevant matrix elements directly, instead of choosing the Breit frame. The…

Within the Bethe-Salpeter framework, we present a computation of space-like electromagnetic form factors for pseudoscalar mesons, including light and heavy-light systems. Our approach employs a flavour-dependent variation of the standard…
We present a short review on the properties of heavy and light mesons' light-cone wavefunctions (LCWFs), and their distribution amplitudes (DAs). The B meson LCWFs can be treated by taking the heavy quark limit ($m_b\to\infty$) and by using…
We use the Dirac equation with a ``(asymptotically free) Coulomb + (Lorentz scalar) linear '' potential to estimate the light quark wavefunction for $ q\bar Q$ mesons in the limit $m_Q\to \infty$. We use these wavefunctions to calculate the…

In this work we investigate the weak $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays. The light-front quark model and diquark picture for heavy baryons are adopted to evaluate the $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ transition form…
Exclusive semileptonic decays B->D_1(2420)l\bar\nu and B->D_2^*(2460)l\bar\nu are studied at the subleading order of the heavy quark expansion. The subleading Isgur-Wise functions resulted from the kinetic energy and chromomagnetic…
