In this article, we study the $B \to K^*_2(1430)$, $a_2(1320)$, $f_2(1270)$ form-factors with the light-cone QCD sum rules, where the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are used. In calculations, we observe that the line-shapes of…
The three-body decays $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S,3S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ are studied based on the perturbative QCD approach. With the help of the nonperturbative two-pion distribution amplitudes, the analysis is simplified into the quasi-two-body…
