We develop a QCD sum rule analysis of the form factor $F_{\gamma^*\gamma^*\pi^0}(q^2,Q^2)$ in the region where virtuality of one of the spacelike photons is small $q^2 \ll 1 GeV^2$ while another is large: $Q^2 \gapprox 1 GeV^2$. We…
We study $B\to\pi\pi$ form factors using QCD light-cone sum rules with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes. These form factors describe the semileptonic decay $B\to \pi\pi \ell\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$, and constitute an essential input in $B\to…
