I give an overview of the QCD sum rule predictions for the form factors of B-meson weak decays to light hadrons (and leptons)
We propose to study factorization breaking effects in exclusive b decays where they are strongly enhanced over the factorizing contributions. This can be done by selecting final-state mesons with a small decay constant or with spin greater…
Recent developments and selected topics in low-energy QCD are summarized, from chiral effective field theory to systems with strange and charm quarks, from lattice QCD to precision experiments.
We discuss some topics concerning exclusive non-leptonic B decays. In particular we focus on Bs->KK decays, for which we present complementary predictions within the SM, as well as the impact that SUSY would have on the CP observables. We…
The structure of the form factors stemmed from the hadronization of QCD currents in the energy region of the resonances can be explored through the analyses of exclusive hadronic decays of the tau lepton. I give a short review on the later…
Since b quark mass is not asymptotically large, chirally enhanced corrections which arise from twist-3 wave functions may be important in B decays. We thus evaluate the hadronic matrix elements with the emitted meson described by leading…

I present some recent measurements of B meson decay rates to leptonic and charmless hadronic final states, as well as of CP-violation charge asymmetries and other features. I sketch the theoretical frameworks used to predict these, and…
We calculate the semi-inclusive processes B $\rightarrow X_{s} \eta_c$ and relate it to B $\rightarrow X_{s} \psi$ in next to leading order QCD, and show how it can be used to determine an accurate value of $f_{\eta_{c}}$. The exclusive…
