We reanalyze the decay constants of s-wave and p-wave mesons and D, B ->M form factors, where M represents a pseudoscalar meson, a vector meson, a scalar meson, or an axial vector meson within a covariant light-front quark model. The…
We have studied the applications of the anomaly sum rule to the transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons: $\pi^0$, $\eta$ and $\eta'$. This nonperturbative QCD approach can be used even if the QCD factorization is broken. The…
Using the CLEO-II detector, we have measured the form factors associated with the electromagnetic transitions $\gamma^*\gamma \to $ meson. We have measured these form factors in the momentum transfer ranges from 1.5 to 9, 20, and 30 GeV^2…

We argue that the Large Energy Effective Theory (LEET), originally proposed by Dugan and Grinstein, is applicable to exclusive semileptonic, radiative and rare heavy-to-light transitions in the region where the energy release E is large…
Recently it has been shown that in the large-recoil limit new symmetries emerge which impose various relations on form factors that parametrise the decay of heavy B mesons into light mesons. These symmetry relations are broken by radiative…
In this paper we calculate the weak form factors of the decays $B_c(B)\to Dl\tilde\nu$ by using the chiral current correlator within the framework of the QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR). The expressions of the form factors only depend on…
The form factors of the flavor changing vector current between a $\bar q Q$-meson and the lightest $\bar q q$ (pseudoscalar-)meson are computed exactly and explicitly in the 't~Hooft model (planar QCD in $1+1$ dimensions) in the limit that…
We use one-loop Heavy Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory (HMCHPT) as well as a relativistic formulation to calculate the chiral logarithms $m^2_\pi\log{\left(m^2_\pi/\mu^2\right)}$ contributing to the formfactors of the semileptonic…
We evaluate the form factors governing the exclusive decays B->rho l nu, B->a_1 l nu, by using an effective quark-meson lagrangian. The model is based on meson-quark interactions, and the computation of the mesonic transition amplitudes is…
We use rigorous QCD dispersion relations to derive model-independent bounds on the B -> pi l nu, D -> pi l nu and D -> K l nu form factors. These bounds are particularly restrictive when the value of the observable form factor at one or…
Semileptonic $B$($B_s, B_c$) decays are investigated systematically in the light-cone QCD sum rules. Special emphasis is put on the LCSR calculation on weak form factors with an adequate chiral current correlator, which turns out to be…

The heavy to light form factors in $B$ decays are discussed. Critical discussion of theoretical approaches is made with special emphasis on their failure to describe the $B \to K^{(\ast )}\psi$ data.
