We demonstrate that the B->D(*) l nu form factors can be accurately predicted given the slope parameter rho^2 of the Isgur-Wise function. Only weak assumptions, consistent with lattice results, on the wavefunction for the light degrees of…

In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Kl\nu$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$…
The $\Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda_c \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ process has been discussed in the literatures as a probe for new physics. This process receives contributions in new physics models from scalar, vector, and tensor hadronic…

We review the results of lattice QCD calculations of form factors for semileptonic decays of D and B mesons. We also mention results for semileptonic decays of b baryons and the rare radiative decay B to K* gamma.
In this article, we study the $B \to K^*_2(1430)$, $a_2(1320)$, $f_2(1270)$ form-factors with the light-cone QCD sum rules, where the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are used. In calculations, we observe that the line-shapes of…
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 report results of a potential model for mesons in D space-time dimension developed by considering the quark-antiquark potential of Nambu-Goto strings. With this wave function, we have studied Isgur-Wise function for heavy-light mesons…
In this work we investigate $q{\bar q}$ spectra and wavefunctions of light front transverse lattice Hamiltonians that result from different methods of formulating fermions on the transverse lattice. We adopt the one link approximation for…
We present the first lattice QCD determination of the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda^*(1520)$ vector, axial vector, and tensor form factors that are relevant for the rare decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda^*(1520)\ell^+\ell^-$. The lattice calculation…
A novel method to calculate f_B on the lattice is introduced, based on the study of the dependence of finite size effects upon the heavy quark mass of flavoured mesons and on a non-perturbative recursive finite size technique. We avoid the…

I review the status of lattice simulations relevant for phenomenological studies of B-physics. Results for much-studied quantities such as f_B, B_B and form-factors for semileptonic decays are presented as well as those for quantities which…
The space-like elastic form factor of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons is investigated within a light-front constituent quark model in order to evaluate the Isgur-Wise form factor. The relativistic composition of the constituent quark spins…
We propose a method to compute the Isgur-Wise form factors tau_1/2(1) and tau_3/2(1) for the decay of B mesons into orbitally excited (P wave) D** charmed mesons on the lattice in the static limit. We also present the result of an…
We calculate the Isgur-Wise function by measuring the heavy-heavy meson transition matrix element on the lattice. The standard Wilson action is used for both the heavy and light quarks. Our first numerical results are presented.
The exclusive semileptonic decay Lambda_b -> Lambda_c + l nu_l is investigated including both radiative and first-order power corrections in the inverse heavy-quark mass, while the Isgur-Wise function is calculated within a light-front…
Employing the light-cone sum rule approach in QCD, we relate the $B$-meson distribution amplitude to the $B\to \pi$ form factor at zero momentum transfer. In leading order, the sum rule is converted into a simple expression for the inverse…
In lattice QCD, obtaining properties of heavy-light mesons has been easier said than done. Focusing on the $B$ meson's decay constant, it is argued that towards the end of 1997 the last obstacles were removed, at least in the quenched…
