I review the recent status of heavy flavor physics results from lattice QCD. In particular, I focus on the heavy-light decay constants, the bag parameters, the form factors, and the bottom quark mass. New progresses in theoretical methods…
We report on a recent computation of the form factors in semi-leptonic decays of the $\mathrm{B}_\mathrm{s}$ using Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) formalism applied on the lattice. The connection of the form factors with the 2-point and…
We underline the general features of the constituent quark model and its success in the description of the spectrum and transitions of hadrons made up of light or heavy quarks, briefly compared to first principles of QCD. To show the…
In this work we discuss in detail the non-perturbative determination of the momentum dependence of the form factors entering in semileptonic decays using unitarity and analyticity constraints. The method contains several new elements with…
We consider the form factors for the radiative semileptonic decays $\bar{B}(v) \rightarrow D^{(*)}(v') \ell {\bar \nu}_\ell \gamma$ in the kinematic region where the photon momentum, $k$, is small enough that heavy quark symmetry (HQS) can…
We present results for spectroscopy, quark masses and decay constants obtained from SESAM's and TkL's large statistics simulations of QCD with two dynamical Wilson fermions.
Within the HQET, the heavy to light vector meson transitions are systematically analyzed to the order of 1/m_Q. Besides the four universal functions at the leading order, there are twenty-two independent universal form factors at the order…

We investigate the vector and scalar form factors relevant for K_{\ell 3} semileptonic decays using maximally twisted-mass fermions with two flavors of dynamical quarks (N_f = 2). The simulations cover pion masses as light as 260 MeV and…
We present results on the nucleon electromagnetic form factors from Lattice QCD at momentum transfer up to about $12$~GeV$^2$. We analyze two gauge ensembles with the Wilson-clover fermion action, a lattice spacing of $a\approx 0.09$~fm and…
A symmetry-preserving continuum approach to meson bound-states in quantum field theory, employed elsewhere to describe numerous $\pi$- and $K$-meson electroweak processes, is used to analyse leptonic and semileptonic decays of $D_{(s)}$…
Using the standard parametrization of the dipole form, we have studied the vulnerability of $Q^2$ on the vector form factors ($f_i^{B_iB_f}(Q^2)$) and axial-vector form factors ($g_i^{B_iB_f}(Q^2)$), $i=1,2,3$ computed for the semileptonic…
We present the first perturbative QCD calculations of the $\Xi_b \to (\Lambda, \Sigma)$ transition form factors at leading order in $\alpha_s$, which govern the Cabibbo-suppressed semileptonic decays $\Xi_b \to (\Lambda, \Sigma)\ell…
Using a QCD relativistic potential model, previously applied to the calculation of the heavy meson leptonic constants, we evaluate the form factors governing the exclusive decays $B\to\rho\ell\nu$, $B\to K^*\gamma$ and $B\to…
Semileptonic heavy -> heavy and heavy -> light meson transitions are studied as a phenomenological application of a heavy-quark limit of Dyson-Schwinger equations. Employing two parameters: E, the difference between the mass of the heavy…

We calculate the form factors for the semileptonic decays of the $B$ meson to $D$ and $D^*$ mesons in a Bethe-Salpeter model. We show that our model is consistent with the constraints of Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) and we extract…

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…
