The perturbative QCD fragmentation functions for a heavy quark to fragment into heavy-light mesons are studied in the heavy-quark limit. The fragmentation functions for S-wave pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated to next-to-leading…
In the heavy quark limit, the form factors for semileptonic and rare radiative B decays into light mesons are related by heavy quark spin symmetry. Here we compute the leading corrections of order \Lambda/m_Q to these symmetry relations,…
During the last years, the ALPHA collaboration has been developing and implementing a method based on Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) to compute B-mesons observables through lattice simulations. Thanks to a non-perturbative matching to…
We propose a parametrization of the leading $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) in heavy-quark effective theory (HQET). In position space, it uses a conformal transformation that yields a systematic Taylor expansion and an…
We extract the B, D, and D* meson wave functions from the CLEO data of the decays B -> K*\gamma and B -> D^(*)\pi in the perturbative QCD framework. In this formalism, various logarithmic corrections are organized to give the Wilson…

First results are obtained for B mesons using a heavy propagator calculated using NRQCD, and a light Wilson propagator. Results from 13 quenched configurations of size 16^3 x 48 at \beta = 6.0 give a value for f_{B} of less than 200 Mev and…
Analogous to NRQCD factorization for heavy quarkonium exclusive production, in this work we propose to employ the heavy-quark-effective-theory (HQET) factorization, which has been predominantly applied to account for exclusive $B$ decays,…
