We show that the leading-power $B$ meson wave function can be extracted reliably from the photon energy spectrum of the $B\to\gamma l\nu$ decay up to $O(1/m_b^2)$ and $O(\alpha_s^2)$ uncertainty, $m_b$ being the $b$ quark mass and…

In the heavy quark limit, the form factors for semileptonic and rare radiative B decays into light mesons are related by heavy quark spin symmetry. Here we compute the leading corrections of order \Lambda/m_Q to these symmetry relations,…

We carry out an analysis of the full set of ten $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ form factors within the framework of the Heavy-Quark Expansion (HQE) to order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s,\,1/m_b,\,1/m_c^2)$, both with and without the use of experimental…

We point out that current estimates of form factors fail to explain the non-leptonic decays $B \to \psi K(K^{\ast})$ and that the combination of data on the semi-leptonic decays $D \to K(K^{\ast})\ell \nu$ and on the non-leptonic decays $B…

In this work, we investigate those $B_{c}\rightarrow D^{(*)}T$ decays in perturbative QCD approach, based on $k_T$ factorization, where T denotes a light tensor meson. For all decays considered in this work, there are no contributions from…

We study the nonleptonic decays of $B\to PP$ in the modified perturbative QCD approach, where $P$ stands for pseudoscalar mesons. Transverse momenta of partons and the Sudakov factor are included, which help to suppress the contributions of…

We postulate a supplemental power counting within the heavy quark effective theory, that results in a small, highly-constrained set of second-order power corrections, compared to the standard approach. We determine all $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}$…

We reanalyze the $\Lambda_b\to p$ transition form factors in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach by including higher-twist light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) of a $\Lambda_b$ baryon and a proton. The previous PQCD evaluation…

We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to $B$ to scalar meson form factors from QCD light-cone sum rules with $B$ meson light-cone distribution amplitudes. We demonstrate that the $B$ meson-to-vacuum correlation functions…
