The hadronic decays $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ are interesting because experimentally they are the only color-suppressed modes which have been measured, and theoretically they are calculable by QCD factorization even the emitted meson $J\psi$ is…
We report the first systematic analysis of the off-light-cone effects in sum rules for heavy-to-light form factors. These effects are investigated in a model based on scalar constituents, which allows a technically rather simple analysis…
We evaluate the W-exchange diagram within the framework of light cone sum rules (LCSR), taking $B_d^0 \to D_s^-K^+$ as an example. This decay mode, though proceeding via the W-exchange diagram only and therefore expected to be highly…
We reconsider and update the QCD light-cone sum rules for $B\to \pi$ form factors. The gluon radiative corrections to the twist-2 and twist-3 terms in the correlation functions are calculated. The $\bar{MS}$ $b$-quark mass is employed,…

The radiative decay $ B_{q}^*\to B_{q}\gamma(q=u,d, or s) $ is reexamined with a modified light-cone QCD sum rule method, in which adequate chiral operators are chosen as the interpolating fields in the correlators used for a sum rule…
Form factors of $D$ decays into $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ tensor mesons are calculated in the light-cone sum rules approach up to twist-4 distribution amplitudes of the tensor meson. The masses of the tensor mesons are comparable to that of the charm…
The rare radiative decay $\Xi^{*}_{bb}\to\Xi_b\gamma$ is investigated within the light cone QCD sum rules approach. This decay proceeds through the flavor changing neutral current $b\to s$ transition in the Standard Model. The hadronic…
We present a light-cone QCD sum rule analysis of the semileptonic decays of $\Xi_c$ baryons, focusing on the channels $\Xi_c^0 \to \Xi^- \ell^+ \nu_\ell$, and $\Xi_c^+ \to \Xi^0 \ell^+ \nu_\ell$. The transition form factors are calculated…
In this work, we calculate the transition form factors of $\Lambda_b$ decaying into $\Lambda_c$ within the framework of light-cone sum rules with the distribution amplitudes (DAs) of $\Lambda_b$-baryon. In the hadronic representation of the…

We predict contributions of higher $K$-resonances to the radiative rare decays $b\to s\gamma$, in the framework of the QCD sum rules on the light cone, which combines the traditional QCD sum rule method with the description of final state…
A systematic analysis shows that the main uncertainties in the form factors are due to the twist-3 wave functions of the light mesons in the light-cone QCD sum rules. We propose an improved approach, in which the twist-3 wave functions…

We study the scaling with the number of colors $N_c$ of the weak amplitudes mediating kaon mixing and decay, in the limit of light charm masses ($m_u=m_d=m_s=m_c$). The amplitudes are extracted directly on the lattice for $N_c = 3-7$ (with…
