We study the form factor f_+^H (H=D,B) involved in H-\pi transitions. We use data on D^0 \to \pi^- l^+ \nu to find f_+^D at low recoil. Then we use perturbative QCD methods to calculate at larger recoil the contributions to f_+^H that break…
We estimate the couplings in the Heavy Hadron Chiral Theory (HHCT) lagrangian from the QCD sum rules in an external axial field. We take into account the perturbative correction to the meson correlator in the infinite mass limit. With the…

Nonanalytic $m_q^{1/2}$ and $m_q\ln m_q$ chiral corrections to the baryon magnetic moments are computed. The calculation includes contributions from both intermediate octet and decuplet baryon states. Unlike the one-loop contributions to…
We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, $f_2/f_1$, and $g_1/f_1$, within a general framework of a chiral soliton model. All relevant parameters for the SU(3) baryon wave functions were unambiguously determined by using the…
We compute the leading contribution to the E2/M1 mixing ratio of the decay $\Delta\rightarrow N\gamma$ in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We find the mixing ratio to be $4\% \ltap |\delta_{\rm E2/M1}| \ltap 11\%$, much larger than…
The structure of $\Delta\Delta$ dibaryon is studied in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model in which vector meson exchanges are included. The effect from the vector meson fields is very similar to that from the one-gluon exchange (OGE)…
