I review the QCD sum rules calculations of the form factors governing the semileptonic decays of charmed and beauty mesons. In particular, I discuss the predicted dependence of the various form factors on $q^2$ and how it can be obtained…
Within the Standard Model, we investigate the semi-leptonic weak decays of $J/\psi$. The various form factors of $J/\psi$ transiting to a single charmed meson ($D^{(*)}_{(d,s)}$) are studied in the framework of the QCD sum rules. These form…
We study the heavy quark mass dependence of the perturbative renormalization factors for the heavy-light currents involving Wilson, Clover, and NRQCD heavy quarks. We find that the one-loop Z-factor for the axial-vector current depends…
We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons…
We propose a constituent quark model to evaluate heavy decay constants and form factors relevant for B=>D(*) semileptonic transitions. We show that the model reproduces the scaling laws dictated by the spin-flavour symmetry in the heavy…
We report on form factors for the B->K l^+ l^- semi-leptonic decay process. We use several lattice spacings from a=0.12 fm down to 0.06 fm and a variety of dynamical quark masses with 2+1 flavors of asqtad quarks provided by the MILC…
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…
We report results (on an intermediate statistics sample) of a study of weak semi-leptonic formfactors of $B$ and $D$ decays, addressing the uncertainties from mass extrapolations to chiral and to heavy quarks. Moreover, we present a…
(Contribution to Proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium On Heavy Flavor Physics, July 7-11, 1997, Santa Barbara.) Theoretical approaches to form factors of semileptonic decays are discussed in application to $B \ra D + l+\bar…
We present lattice results for the vector and scalar form factors of the semileptonic decays D -> \pi \ell \nu_ell and D -> K \ell \nu_\ell in the physical range of values of squared four momentum transfer q^2, obtained with N_f=2 maximally…
We perform fully dynamical simulations at small quark masses by reweighting in the quark mass, calculating the weight factors stochastically. This approach avoids some of the technical difficulties associated with direct simulations. We…
The quark-level linear sigma model is employed to compute a variety of electromagnetic and weak observables of light mesons, including pion and kaon form factors and charge radii, charged-pion polarizabilities, semileptonic weak $K_{\ell3}$…
Electroweak transition form factors of heavy meson decays are important ingredients in the extraction of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements from experimental data. In this work, within a light-front framework, we calculate…
I discuss QCD sum rules determinations of the form factors governing the decay $B \to \pi (\rho) \ell \nu$. For some of these form factors the computed dependence on the momentum transferred does not agree with the expectation from the…
I review the status of theoretical aspects of B-decays. The principal difficulty in interpreting the wealth of experimental data is the control of non-perturbative QCD effects, and the talk is focused on attempts to control these effects.…
We study the transition form factors of the light vector to pseudoscalar mesons as functions of the momentum transfer $q^2$ within the light-front quark model. With these form factors, we calculate the decay branching ratios of all possible…
We present a comprehensive analysis of weak transition form factors, semileptonic decays, and nonleptonic decays of $B_c$ meson involving pseudoscalar ($P$) and vector ($V$) meson for bottom-conserving and bottom-changing decay modes. We…
We consider rare semileptonic decays of a heavy $D$-meson into a light vector meson in the framework of QCD factorization. In contrast to the corresponding $B$-meson decays, the naive factorization hypothesis does not even serve as a first…
We investigate semileptonic form factors of $D_{(s)}$ meson from a modified soft-wall 4-flavor holographic model. The model successfully reproduces the masses and decay constants of various mesons, including $\rho$, $K^*$, $D^*$, $D_s^*$,…
We study the weak vector and axial-vector form factors of first- and second-class currents for the semileptonic octet baryon decays in the spirit of the chiral quark model. Our results for the weak magnetism form factors are consistent with…
