A new method is suggested to calculate the $B\to \pi\pi$ hadronic matrix elements from QCD light-cone sum rules. To leading order in $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_b$, the sum rule reproduces a factorizable matrix element, in accordance with the…

I discuss QCD sum rules determinations of the form factors governing the decay $B \to \pi (\rho) \ell \nu$. For some of these form factors the computed dependence on the momentum transferred does not agree with the expectation from the…

The determinations of $|V_{\rm ub}|$ from the exclusive branching ratios of $B\to \tau \nu$ and $B \to \pi l \nu$ tend to show a tension at the level of $3\sigma$ \cite{Beringer:1900zz}. On the theoretical side they depend on the lattice…

We have analyzed the $B\to \pi $ and $B_{s}\to K$ semileptonic form factors and $B\to V\gamma (V=K^*,\rho,\omega)$ processes in the light-cone QCD sum rules. In order to enhance the predictivity and reliability of numerical results the…

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…

We update the lattice calculation of the $B\to\pi$ semileptonic form factors, which have important applications to the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ and the $B\to\pi\ell^+\ell^-$ rare decay. We use MILC asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ sea…

We present an improved calculation of $B\to$ light pseudoscalar formfactors from light-cone sum rules, including one-loop radiative corrections to twist-2 and twist-3 contributions, and leading order twist-4 corrections. The total…

According to heavy-meson chiral perturbation theory, the vector form factor $f_+(q^2)$ of exclusive semi-leptonic decay $B\to \pi \ell \nu$ is closely related, at least in the soft-pion region (i.e., $q^{2} \sim (m_B-m_{\pi})^2$), to the…

In this paper, we calculate the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ by the semileptonic decay $B^+\to \omega\ell^+\nu$. For the transition form factors (TFFs) $A_1(q^2)$, $A_2(q^2)$, and $V(q^2)$ of $B^+\to \omega$, we…

Using a large sample of D0 to K mu nu and pi mu nu decays collected by the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab, we present new measurements of the q^2 dependence for the f+(q^2) form factor. These measured f+(q^2) form factors are…

The behavior of the $\bpi$ form factors in the entire physical range is examined in a model independent way. Unitarity bounds are further constrained by the lattice results (APE). From this analysis, we obtain $f^{+}(0) = 0.38 \pm .03$ if…
