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…

Employing the light-cone sum rule approach in QCD, we relate the $B$-meson distribution amplitude to the $B\to \pi$ form factor at zero momentum transfer. In leading order, the sum rule is converted into a simple expression for the inverse…
We address the problem of extrapolating the vector form factor $f_{B\pi}^+$, which is relevant to $B\to \pi\ell \nu_\ell$ decays, from the region of small to the region of large momentum transfer. As input, we use the QCD light-cone sum…

The rare decay $B\to\pi\ell^+\ell^-$ arises from $b\to d$ flavor-changing neutral currents and could be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Here, we present the first $ab$-$initio$ QCD calculation of the $B\to\pi$ tensor form…
