We give a short review of QCD sum rule results for B and D mesons and Lambda_Q and Sigma_Q baryons. We focus mainly on recent developments concerning semileptonic B->pion and D->pion transitions, pion couplings to heavy hadrons, decay…
The cross sections of $\Upsilon$ absorption by $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons are evaluated in a meson-exchange model. Including form factors with a cutoff parameter of 1 or 2 GeV, we find that due to the large threshold of these reactions the…
High-energy heavy-ion collisions have been suggested as a favorable environment for the production of $B_c$ mesons, due to a much larger abundance of charm and bottom quarks compared to elementary reactions. Motivated by recent CMS data for…
We present our predictions for the Lorentz scalar mass shifts of two-flavored heavy mesons, $B_c^{(*)}, B_s^{(*)}$ and $D_s^{(*)}$ in symmetric nuclear matter. The in-medium mass shifts are estimated by evaluating the lowest order one-loop…
We calculate the cross sections for dissociation of $J/\psi$ by pions and $\rho$-mesons within the framework of a meson exchange model. We find that these cross sections are small at center-of-mass energies less than 1 GeV above threshold,…
