We use three-point function QCD sum rules to calculate the form factor $A_0(q^2)$ appearing in the matrix element of the flavour-changing axial current between the $D (B)$ state and a vector meson state. We describe the role of this form…
In this paper we study the semileptonic decays of $B_c^+\to D^{(*)}_{(s)}(l^+\nu_l,l^+l^-,\nu\bar\nu)$ (here $l$ stands for $e$, $\mu$, or $\tau$). After evaluating the $B_c^+ \to (D_{(s)},D^*_{(s)})$ transition form factors…
We extend the Standard Model (SM) analysis of Ref. [1], which was limited to light leptons in the final state, to the semileptonic $B \to D^* \tau \nu_\tau$ decay. By using quantities that can be analised without the knowledge of $\vert…

We use lattice QCD to calculate the form factors $f_+(q^2)$ and $f_0(q^2)$ for the semileptonic decay $B_s\to K\ell\nu$. Our calculation uses six MILC asqtad 2+1 flavor gauge-field ensembles with three lattice spacings. At the smallest and…

The transition form factors of (D_s -> f_0 l nu), (D -> f_0 l nu) and (B_u -> f_0 l nu) decays are calculated in 3-point QCD sum rule method, assuming that "f_0" is a quark-antiquark state with a mixture of strange and light quarks. The…
We calculate the form factors for the semileptonic decays $B_s\to K\ell\nu$ and $B\to K\ell\ell$ with lattice QCD. We work at several lattice spacings and a range of light quark masses, using the MILC 2+1-flavor asqtad ensembles. We use the…
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to the lightest excited charmed mesons are investigated at order $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q$ in the heavy quark effective theory. At zero recoil, $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q$ corrections to the matrix elements of the weak…
We study the semileptonic transitions B_c to \eta_c, J/\psi, D, D^*, B, B^*, B_s, B_s^* in the framework of a relativistic constituent quark model. We use experimental data on leptonic J/\psi decay, lattice and QCD sum rule results on…
In this work, we investigate the $\bar{B}_{s}\to D_{sJ}$ transitions in covariant light-front approach, where $D_{sJ}$ denotes an s-wave or p-wave $c\bar{s}$ meson state. We first obtain the transition form factors within the framework of…
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…
The measured branching ratio of the $D$ meson semileptonic decay $D \to \rho e^+ \nu_e$, which is based on the $0.82~{\rm fb^{-1}}$ CLEO data taken at the peak of $\psi(3770)$ resonance, disagrees with the traditional SVZ sum rules analysis…
