We study light quark dependence of the Isgur-Wise function for $B_a\rightarrow D_a$ and $B_a\rightarrow D^{*}_a$ in the framework of QCD sum rules. At zero recoil , all the Isgur-Wise functions equal as required by heavy quark symmetry and…
In this work we investigate the weak $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays. The light-front quark model and diquark picture for heavy baryons are adopted to evaluate the $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ transition form…

Decoupling of heavy quarks at low energies can be described by means of an effective theory as shown by S. Weinberg in Ref. [1]. We study the decoupling of the charm quark by lattice simulations. We simulate a model, QCD with two degenerate…
New universality appears for the baryon Isgur--Wise form factor in the large $N_c$ limit. It is found that the semileptonic $\Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda_c$ and $\Sigma_b^{(*)} \rightarrow \Sigma^{(*)}_c$ decays are described by the same…
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…
