This is a short review of the present status of the dynamics of the heavy quarks extracted from QCD spectral sum rules. We discuss the determination of the ``perturbative" quark mass, the decay constants of the $D$ and $B$ mesons, the form…
We present an investigation of the Isgur-Wise form factor relevant for the semileptonic decay Lambda_b -> \Lambda_c + l nu_l performed within a light-front constituent quark model. Adopting different baryon wave functions it is found that…
The exclusive semileptonic decay form factors and widths of $B_c$ meson in the $c\bar c\ (\eta_c,J/\psi)$ states based on heavy quark effective theory are computed. The spectroscopic parameters of $B_c$ and the $c\bar c$ states deduced…
The slope of the Isgur-Wise function at the normalization point, $\xi^{(1)}(1)$,is one of the basic parameters for the extraction of the $CKM$ matrix element $V_{cb}$ from exclusive semileptonic decay data. A method for measuring this…
We propose a method for evaluating the slope (and higher derivatives) of the Isgur-Wise function at the zero recoil point using lattice simulations. These derivatives are required for the extrapolation of the experimental data for…
We solve the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter (HBS) equation for the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector bound states of quark and anti-quark in large Nf QCD with the improved ladder approximation in the Landau gauge. The quark mass…
In quark models \`a la Bakamjian and Thomas, that yield covariance and Isgur-Wise scaling of form factors in the heavy quark limit, we compute the decay constants $f^{(n)}$ and $f^{(n)}_{1/2}$ of S-wave and P-wave mesons composed of heavy…
Using the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equations for heavy baryons Lambda_Q, Sigma_Q, Xi_Q and Omega_Q (Q=b or c), which were established in previous work, we calculate the heavy quark distribution functions in these baryons. The numerical results…
We present an investigation of the interquark potential determined from the qq^bar Bethe-Salpeter (BS) amplitude for heavy quarkonia in lattice QCD. The qq^bar potential at finite quark mass m_q can be calculated from the equal-time and…
Chiral symmetry and heavy quark symmetry constrain the interactions of mesons containing a single heavy quark with low-momentum pions. Chiral corrections to the Isgur-Wise function for $\bar B_s \rightarrow D_s^{(*)}$ versus $\bar B…
The spectra and wave functions of heavy-light mesons are calculated within a relativistic quark model, which is based on a heavy-quark expansion of the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation by applying the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation.…
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 perform a dynamical lattice computation of the Isgur-Wise functions tau_{1/2} and tau_{3/2} at zero recoil. We consider three different light quark masses corresponding to 300 MeV < m_{PS} < 450 MeV, which allow us to extrapolate our…
The strong coupling lattice QCD solution \cite{APtifr} for the Isgur-Wise functions, parametrising the semileptonic decay form factors of hadrons containing a single heavy quark, is reviewed. Several useful features connected with the…
We propose a novel method for the determination of the interquark potential together with quark "kinetic mass'' $m_Q$ from the equal-time $Q\bar{Q}$ Bethe-Salpeter (BS) amplitude in lattice QCD. Our approach allows us to calculate…
We review our recent results \cite{bsult} on the derivation of a B-S equation in QCD in a Wilson loop context. We work in a second order formalism, use the Feynman--Schwinger path integral representation for a quark in external field and…
We study the form factors of heavy--to--heavy and heavy--to--light weak decays using the light--front relativistic quark model. For the heavy--to--heavy $B \ra D^{(\ast)}$ semileptonic decays we calculate the corresponding Isgur--Wise…
A new supersymmetry is proposed for hadrons containing a single heavy quark. This supersymmetry is based on a new approximation to those hadrons, which we would consider as a further step beyond the spectator light diquark model of baryons.…
We use the LSZ reduction theorem and interpolating fields, alongwith the heavy quark effective theory, to investigate the structure of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude for heavy hadrons. We show how a simple form of this amplitude, used…
