Close to the continuum limit, lattice QCD with mass-degenerate Wilson quarks can be described by Symanzik's effective continuum action, which contains the dimension 5 operator, $m\,{\rm tr}(F_{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu})$. Its effect can be…
We have calculated the decay constants of B and $D$ mesons with lattice QCD. We use an $O(a)$ improved action that takes light quark actions as a starting point, tuned so that it can be directly applied at the physical masses of the $b$ and…
In this article, we calculate the $B_c^* \to B_c$ electromagnetic form-factor with the three-point QCD sum rules, then study the radiative decays $ B_c^{*\pm} \to B_c^{\pm} \gamma$. Experimentally, we can study the radiative transitions…

We present an estimate of perturbative QCD corrections to the decay $Z \to Wu\bar d$. A simple approximate approach is described in detail. The difference of masses of $M_Z$ and $M_W$ is used as an expansion parameter. A complete analytical…
We calculate next to leading order QCD corrections to the direct decays b -> J/Psi + X and b -> eta_c + X. The strong renormalization scale dependence is seen to persist also in this order and in fact the rate is driven to an unphysical…

We compute next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the partonic processes $b\to c \bar{u} d$ and $b\to c \bar{c} s$, which constitute the dominant decay channels in standard model predictions for $B$-meson lifetimes within the…
The leptonic radiative decay $B \to \gamma l\nu$ is of great importance in the determination of $B$ meson wave functions, and evaluating the form factors $ F_{V,A}$ are the essential problem on the study of this channel. We computed…
We construct the effective Lagrangian describing QCD in the multi-Regge kinematics. It is obtained from the original QCD Lagrangian by eliminating modes of gluon and quark fields not appearing in this underlying kinematics.
The perturbative part of the effective QCD Lagrangian was constructed by the renormalization group approach in the 4-loop approximation. It was extrapolated in the non-perturbative region under the assumption of the existence of gluon…
