We calculate the $B\to\pi,\rho$ transition form factors in the framework of perturbative QCD to leading power of $1/M_B$, $M_B$ being the $B$ meson mass. We explain the basic principle by discussing the pion electromagnetic form factor. It…

A factorization hypothesis is tested by examining a form factor of the $\omega\pi$ production in hadronic $B^0 \to D^{\ast \pm}\omega\pi^\mp$ decays. The form factor is compared to that from available $\tau$-lepton as well as $e^+e^-$ data…

The two gravitational form factors of the pion, $A^{\pi}(t)$ and $D^{\pi}(t)$, are computed as functions of the momentum transfer squared $t$ in the kinematic region $0\leq -t< 2~\text{GeV}^2$ on a lattice QCD ensemble with quark masses…
