The light-front quantization of gauge theories in light-cone gauge provides a frame-independent wavefunction representation of relativistic bound states, simple forms for current matrix elements, explicit unitary, and a trivial vacuum. The…
I give a pedagogical summary of the methods of light-cone variables, rapidity and pseudo-rapidity. Then I show how these methods are useful in analyzing diffractive high-energy collisions.
The widely used nonperturbative wave functions and distribution functions of QCD are determined as matrix elements of light-ray operators. These operators appear as large momentum limit of nonlocal hadron operators or as summed up local…
We present the first complete results for the semileptonic and rare radiative form factors of B-mesons weak decay into a light vector-meson (rho, omega, K*, phi) in the light-cone sum-rule approach. The calculation includes radiative…
Exclusive B decays can be factorized as convolutions of hard scattering amplitudes involving the weak interaction with universal hadron distribution amplitudes, thus providing a new QCD-based phenomenology. In addition, semi-leptonic decay…

Mass formulas for the light-vector mesons written in terms of the gluon condensate i.e., the trace anomaly in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are derived on the basis of finite energy QCD sum rules. We utilize sum rules with $s^n$ and…
We discuss applications of QCD sum rules on the light-cone to the form factors of the exclusive transitions $B \rightarrow \pi$ and $D\rightarrow \pi$, and to the $B^*B \pi$ and $D^*D \pi$ coupling constants. In the light of our results we…
