Using the QCD {\it hybrid} (moments-Laplace) sum rule, we show $semi$-$analytically$ that, in the limit $M_b \rar \infty$, the $q^2$ and $M_b$ behaviours of the heavy-to-light exclusive ($\bar B\rar \rho~(\pi)$ semileptonic as well as the $…
We predict contributions of higher $K$-resonances to the radiative rare decays $b\to s\gamma$, in the framework of the QCD sum rules on the light cone, which combines the traditional QCD sum rule method with the description of final state…
We study the $f^+$ form factor for the $\bar B_s\to K^+\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ semileptonic decay in a nonrelativistic quark model. The valence quark contribution is supplemented with a $\bar B^*$-pole term that dominates the high $q^2$ region.…
