We study the exclusive decays of $B\to K^{(*)}\ell^+ \ell^-$ by the results in the perturbative QCD with the heavy quark effective theory and lattice calculations. We obtain the form factors for the $B\to K^{(*)}$ transitions in the whole…
We study the rare decay $B\to K_2^\ast(1430)(\to K\pi)\ell^+\ell^-$ in the Standard Model and beyond. Working in the transversity basis, we exploit the relations between the heavy-to-light form factors in the limit of heavy quark ($m_b\to…
We study the exclusive decays of $B\to K^{(*)}l^+l^-$ within the framework of the PQCD. We obtain the form factors for the $B\to K^{(*)}$ transitions in all allowed values of $q^2$, which agree with the lattice results. We find that our…
We predict the amplitude of the $B\to K \ell^+\ell^-$ decay in the region of the dilepton invariant mass squared $0<q^2\leq m_{J/\psi}^2$, that is, at large hadronic recoil. The $B\to K$ form factors entering the factorizable part of the…
We investigate the decays $B_c^- \rightarrow \bar{D}^{(*)0}\ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ and $B_c^- \rightarrow D^{(*)-}\ell^+\ell^-$ within the Standard Model (SM), employing perturbative QCD (pQCD) form factors that are sensitive to the wave…
We examine the measured rates for the decays $D\to K^{(*)}\ell\nu$, $B\to K^{(*)}\psi^{(\prime)}$ and $B\to K^*\gamma$ in a number of scenarios, in the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. We attempt to find a scenario in which…
We examine the rates for the exclusive decays $B\to K^{(*)}\ell^+\ell^-$. We use the scaling predictions of the heavy quark effective theory to extract the necessary form factors from fits to various combinations of data. These data include…
Our article is devoted to the study of the rare $B\to K^\ast \ell^+\ell^-$~decay where $\ell=e,\mu,\tau$. We compute the relevant form factors in the framework of the covariant quark model with infrared confinement in the full kinematical…
We use three-point QCD sum rules to calculate the form factors governing the rare exclusive decays B \to (K,K^*) \ell^+ \ell^-, B \to (K,K^*) \nu \bar\nu. We predict the branching ratios, the invariant mass distributions of the lepton pair…
We critically reassess the theoretical uncertainties in the Standard Model calculation of the $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ observables, focusing on the low $q^2$ region. We point out that even optimized observables are affected by sizable…
The $B_{u,d,s}\to V,A$ form factors are studied in perturbative QCD approach ($V,A$ denote a vector meson and two kinds of p-wave axial-vector mesons: $^3P_1$ and $^1P_1$ states, respectively.). The form factors are directly studied in the…
According to the heavy-quark flavour symmetry, the $B\to \pi, K$ transition form factors could be related to the corresponding ones of D-meson decays near the zero recoil point. With the recent precisely measured exclusive semileptonic…
The rare decay $B\to\pi\ell^+\ell^-$ arises from $b\to d$ flavor-changing neutral currents and could be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Here, we present the first $ab$-$initio$ QCD calculation of the $B\to\pi$ tensor form…
We study some rare B decays induced by $b \to s$ transition within the Standard Model and in the Appelquist-Cheng-Dobrescu model, which is a New Physics scenario with a single universal extra dimension. In particular, we discuss the…
We propose to use T-odd momentum correlations as physical observables to study T violation in $B\to K^{*}l^{+}l^{-} (l=e,\mu)$ decays. We show that these observables are zero in the standard model but sizable at the level of 10% in the…
