I present an overview of recent lattice QCD results on hadron spectroscopy and matrix elements. Case studies include light quark spectroscopy, the determination of $\alpha_s$ from heavy quark spectroscopy, the D-meson decay constant, a…
From sum rules in the heavy quark limit of QCD, using the non-forward amplitude, we demonstrate that if the slope rho^2 = -xsi'(1) of the Isgur-Wise function xsi(w) attains its lower bound 3/4 (as happens in the BPS limit proposed by…
We use a $1S$ lattice QCD heavy-light wavefunction to generate a single parameter, model independent description of the Isgur-Wise function. Using recent data we find the zero-recoil slope to be $\xi'(1)= -1.16\pm 0.17$, while the second…
We study heavy light mesons in a QCD inspired quark model with the Cornell potential$-\frac{4\alpha_{S}}{3r}+br+c$. Here we consider the linear term $br$ as the parent and $-\frac{4\alpha_{S}}{3r}+c$ i.e.the Coloumbic part as the…
We obtain form factors relevant for semileptonic $B\to D$ and $B\to D^*$ decays from a quenched lattice QCD calculation. Our results enable us to test Heavy-Quark Symmetry, determine the Isgur-Wise function as well as obtain the…
The strong coupling lattice QCD solution \cite{APtifr} for the Isgur-Wise functions, parametrising the semileptonic decay form factors of hadrons containing a single heavy quark, is reviewed. Several useful features connected with the…
The modification of the naive potential model of the heavy meson is considered on the basis of the single-time prescription for the quark-meson form factor and the covariant choice of the quatk relative momentum. The application of the…
We present results from a first study of $B$-mesons that is based on a transverse lattice formulation of light-front QCD. The shape of the Isgur-Wise form factor is in very good agreement with experimental data. However, the calculations…
In this article, we use the light-cone QCD sum rules to relate the $\Lambda_b$ baryon light-cone distribution amplitudes to the Isgur-Wise function $\xi(\omega)$ of the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ transition, and obtain a simple relation. The…
We present the results of the first lattice study of semileptonic decays of baryons containing a b-quark. Predictions for the decay distributions are given and the Isgur-Wise functions for heavy baryons are computed, for values of the…
We give the analytical expressions and numerical values of radiative corrections to the covariant derivative operator on the static quark line, used for the lattice calculation of the Isgur-Wise form factors $\tau_{1/2}(1)$ and…
The leading Isgur-Wise form factor $\xi(y)$ parametrizing the semileptonic transitions $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^{1/2}_{c1}\ell\bar\nu$ and $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^{3/2}_{c1}\ell\bar\nu$ is calculated by using the QCD sum rules in the framework of…
We present a lattice investigation, partially including the effects of dynamical quarks, of the heavy-light mesons using NRQCD for the heavy quark and the Wilson action for the light quark. We performed an extensive calculation of the…
The form factors for the semi-leptonic B->D and B->D* decays are evaluated in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling, beta=6.0 and 6.2. The action and the operators are fully O(a) non-perturbatively improved. The slope…
We calculate the soft function using lattice QCD in the framework of large momentum effective theory incorporating the one-loop perturbative contributions. The soft function is a crucial ingredient in the lattice determination of light cone…
We report some approximate analytic form of meson wave function constructed upon solving Schrodinger equation with linear plus Coulomb type Cornell potential. With this wave function, we study Isgur-Wise function and its derivatives for…
We present a general relativistic framework for the calculation of the electroweak structure of heavy-light mesons within constituent-quark models. To this aim the physical processes in which the structure is measured, i.e. electron-meson…
In order to extract some information on the CKM matrix element |Vcb|, we have to determine form factors in B decays. For this, we show that it is relevant to consider the non-forward amplitude between the heavy-light B and D mesons within…
A simple relativistic model of heavy-quark-light-quark mesons is proposed. In an expansion in inverse powers of the heavy quark mass we find that all zeroth and first order heavy quark symmetry relations are satisfied. The main results are:…
We present a general formalism that uses the point form of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics to describe the electroweak structure of heavy-light mesons within constituent quark models. We study the heavy quark limit (i.e. $m_Q\to \infty$)…
