We extract the form factors relevant for semileptonic decays of D and B mesons from a relativistic computation on a fine lattice in the quenched approximation. The lattice spacing is a=0.04 fm (corresponding to a^{-1}=4.97 GeV), which…
We present the results of a numerical calculation of semi-leptonic form factors relevant for heavy flavour meson decays into light mesons, at $\beta=6.4$ on a $24^3 \times 60$ lattice, using the Wilson action in the quenched approximation.…
The form factors relevant to $B_{q}\to D^{\ast}_{q}(J^{P}=1^{-}) ell\nu$ $(q=s, d, u)$ decays are calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules approach. The heavy quark effective theory prediction of the form factors as well…
Measurements of the $\Lambda_b \to p \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decay rates can be used to determine the magnitudes of the CKM matrix elements $V_{ub}$ and $V_{cb}$, provided that the relevant…
We calculate the semileptonic form factors $f_+^{B\to \eta}(q^2)$ and $f_+^{B\to \eta'}(q^2)$ from QCD sum rules on the light-cone (LCSRs), to NLO in QCD, and for small to moderate q^2, $0\leq q^2\leq 16 {\rm GeV}^2$. We include in…

We present the first lattice QCD determination of the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda^*(1520)$ vector, axial vector, and tensor form factors that are relevant for the rare decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda^*(1520)\ell^+\ell^-$. The lattice calculation…
The current status of the lattice-QCD calculations of the form factors of the $B\to D^\ast\ell\nu$ semileptonic decay is reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the most mature calculation at non-zero recoil coming from the Fermilab…
The photoleptonic decay $B^-\to \gamma \ell^-\bar{\nu}$ is the simplest low-energy process that probes the substructure of the $B$ meson, making it an excellent candidate to determine the parameters of $B$-meson light-cone distribution…
We calculate $B_{(s)}$, and $D_{(s)}$ to $K^*_0(1430)$ transition form factors, and study semileptonic decays of $B_{(s)}$ and $D_{(s)}\to K_0^*(1430) \bar{\ell}\nu$ based on QCD sum rule. Measuring these semileptonic decays with high…
In this article, we calculate the $B\to a_1(1260)$ form-factors $V_1(q^2)$, $V_2(q^2)$, $V_3(q^2)$ and $A(q^2)$ with the $B$-meson light-cone QCD sum rules. Those form-factors are basic parameters in studying the exclusive non-leptonic…

Semileptonic $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ decays provide an alternative $b$-decay channel to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, and to obtain a $R$-ratio to investigate lepton-flavor-universality violations. Results for the CKM matrix…
The charmless nonleptonic $B\to \eta K$ decay is an useful probe to test the strong interaction dynamics part of the Standard Model. Within the QCD factorization framework, we analyse this particular decay by using the most recent data of…
