We propose a number of tests of factorization for the color-suppressed nonleptonic decay channels: $B \to K^{(*)} \; \eta_c$ and $B \to K^{(*)} \; \eta^\prime_c$. The relevant leptonic constants and form factors are calculated within the…
In the asymptotic limit $Q^2 \gg m^2$, the heavy flavor Wilson coefficients for deep--inelastic scattering factorize into the massless Wilson coefficients and the universal heavy flavor operator matrix elements resulting from light--cone…

The shape of the vector and scalar K_{l3} form factors is investigated by exploiting analyticity and unitarity in a model-independent formalism. The method uses as input dispersion relations for certain correlators computed in perturbative…
