A systematic analysis is presented of the $B_{s}\to K$ form factor $f(q^{2}) $ in the whole range of momentum transfer $q^{2}$, which would be useful to analyzing the future data on $B_{s}\to K$ decays and extracting $| V_{ub}|$. With a…
In this short review, we present the current status about the theoretical and experimental studies for some important semileptonic decays of $B/B_s$ mesons. We firstly gave a brief introduction for the experimental measurements for $B/B_s…
We build on the success of AdS/QCD in predicting diffractive $\rho$ meson production to obtain the transition form factors for B decays to light mesons. Consequently, we predict several observables associated with $B\to \rho\ell\nu$…
The form factors and the branching ratio of the "B -> a_1 l nu" decay are calculated in framework of QCD sum rules. A comparison of our results on form factors and branching ratio with the results from constituent quark model is presented.
Confronted with some surprising claims about experimentally measured or theoretically expected dependencies on the involved momentum transfer of various form factors of pseudoscalar mesons, we reassess the present status of these quantities…
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…
The semileptonic $B_s (B) \to K_2^*(a_2, f_2) \ell\nu$, $\ell=\tau, \mu$ transitions are investigated in the frame work of the three-point QCD sum rules. Considering the quark condensate contributions, the relevant form factors of these…
The local-duality formulation of QCD sum rules allows for the prediction of hadronic form factors without knowledge of the subtle details of their structure. With the aid of this formalism, we take a fresh look at the behaviours of the…
The $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rules provide relations between the decay rates of $B \to D^{(*)} \tau\bar\nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau\bar\nu$. Starting from the heavy quark and zero-recoil limits, we revisit the derivation of the…
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 semileptonic decays of heavy spin--1/2, $\Xi_{b(c)}$ and $\Xi'_{b(c)}$ baryons to the light spin-- 1/2, $\Xi$ and $\Sigma $ baryons are investigated in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. In particular, using the most general…
We calculate the form factors V, A_1, A_2 and A_0 appearing in the (D -> phi) transition in light cone QCD sum rule method. We compare our results on these form factors with the current experimental results and existing theoretical…
We extend QCD sum rule analysis to moderate energy fixed angle Compton scattering. In this kinematic region there is a strong similarity to the sum rule treatment of electromagnetic form factors, although the four-point amplitude requires a…
We suggest to update the expansion coefficients of 2$\pi$DAs with the distribution amplitudes of light mesons evaluated from lattice QCD, with which we revisit $\overline{B}^0 \to \pi^+\pi^0$ transition form factors from light-cone sum…
We present an analysis of semileptonic decays of orbitally, $P$-wave excited $B_{s}$ meson states $B^{**}_{s}$, including the newly found narrow $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B^{*}_{s2}(5840)$ states, into low lying $D_{s}$ mesons ($D_{s}(1968)$,…
The light-front distribution amplitudes (LFDAs) and the decay constant of the $K $ pseudoscalar meson are extracted within the framework of the AdS/QCD correspondence. For the LFDAs calculation, we consider a momentum-dependent (dynamical)…
$B$-physics is one of the most promising windows to find new physics in the flavor sector. One key ingredient to these searches are precise theoretical predictions derived from the Standard Model. Focusing at the nonperturbative QCD…
In light of the current discrepancies between the recent predictions based on QCD factorisation (QCDF) and the experimental data for several non-leptonic colour-allowed two-body $B$-meson decays, we obtain new determinations of the…
A new estimate is presented of the dileptonic $B$ decays $B\to\pi\ell^+\ell^-(\ell=e,\mu,\tau)$ in naive factorization within the standard-model (SM) framework. Using a combination of several approaches, we investigate the behavior of the…
