The QCD inspired potential model persued by us earlier has been recently modified to incorporate an additional factor 'c' in the linear cum Coulomb potential. While it felicitates the inclusion of standard confinement parameter b = 0.183GeV…
In order to extract some information on the CKM matrix element |Vcb|, we have to determine form factors in B decays. For this, we show that it is relevant to consider the non-forward amplitude between the heavy-light B and D mesons within…

We discuss constraints imposed on the zero-recoil curvature and higher derivatives of the Isgur-Wise function by a general quark model. These constraints are expressed as bounds for a given slope parameter, and compared with those based…
Isgur-Wise functions parametrise the leading behaviour of weak decay form factors of mesons and baryons containing a single heavy quark. The form factors for the quark mass operator are calculated in strong coupling lattice QCD, and…
