We calculate next-to-leading-order (NLO) corrections to the $B\to\pi$ transition form factors at leading twist in the $k_T$ factorization theorem. Light partons off-shell by $k_T^2$ are considered in the quark diagrams, in the effective…
The light-front heavy quark effective theory is derived to all orders in $1/m_Q$. In the limit $m_Q\rightarrow \infty$, the theory exhibits the familiar heavy quark spin-flavor symmetry. This new formalism permits a straightforward…
