We take into account the $1/m_Q$ corrections upto $1/N_c$ order in the heavy-meson-soliton bound state approach for heavy baryons. With these corrections, the mass spectra of baryons with $c$-quark as well as of those with $b$-quark are…

Radiative corrections to both perturbative and non-perturbative contributions are added to existing calculations of the Isgur-Wise function $\xi_{IW}$. To this end, we develop a method for calculating two-loop integrals in the heavy quark…
We calculate the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell \nu$ form factors and decay rates for all possible $b\to c \ell\bar\nu$ four-Fermi interactions beyond the Standard Model, including nonzero charged lepton masses and terms up to order…
We calculate the next-to-leading order contribution to the masses of the heavy baryons in the bound state approach for baryons containing a heavy quark. These $1/N_C$ corrections arise when states of good spin and isospin are generated from…
We study certain physical observables of isoscalar heavy baryons using potential models based on hadronic degrees of freedom. The goal is to compare these results with those from an effective theory obtained in a combined heavy quark and…
We compute the leading non-analytic correction to the baryon mass in the combined limits m_\pi -> 0, N_c -> \infty with the product m_\pi x N_c held fixed. We reproduce the results of Cohen and Broniowski using semiclassical methods rather…
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,…
The analysis of $1/m_Q^2$ corrections of the previous paper is extended to the semileptonic decays of heavy baryons. We focus on the simplest case, the ground state $\Lambda_Q$ baryons, in which the light degrees of freedom are in a state…
We provide upper and lower bounds on the semileptonic weak decay form factors for $B \to D^(*)$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to second order…
There exist heavy tetraquark states $QQ \bar q \bar q$ in the heavy quark limit. These states are stable with respect to strong interactions and hence must decay weakly. It is shown that the semileptonic decay depends on a single…
A fairly general Lorentz-covariant quark model of mesons is constructed. It has several versions whose nonrelativistic limit corresponds to the well-known Isgur, Scora, Grinstein, and Wise model. In the heavy-quark limit, the covariant…
We derive the form factors relevant for decays of pseudo-scalar mesons corresponding to the semi-leptonic decay B->D l nu. The simulations are performed in the quenched approximation at beta=6.0 and beta=6.2 using a non-perturbatively…
We calculate, in the framework of QCD sum rules and to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory, the universal function $\xi_3(v\cdot v')$ which appears at order $1/m_Q$ in the heavy quark expansion of meson weak decay form factors. We…

We calculate the Isgur-Wise function by measuring the elastic scattering amplitude of a $D$ meson in the quenched approximation on a $24^3\times48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$, using an $O(a)$-improved fermion action. Fitting the resulting…
A current algebra sum rule for inclusive decays \bar B --> D + X + \ell + \bar \nu by Bjorken et al. is used to obtain constraints on the Isgur-Wise function \xi(\omega) for \bar B --> D \ell \bar \nu decays.
We propose a group theoretical method to study Isgur-Wise functions. A current matrix element splits into a heavy quark matrix element and an overlap of the initial and final clouds, related to the IW functions, that contain the long…
We present the preliminary results of the first Lattice study of the baryonic Isgur and Wise function obtained from the matrix element of the weak current between $\Lambda$-baryon external states. Its dependence on the heavy and light quark…
