B --> rho l nu decay is analyzed in the effective theory of heavy quark with infinite mass limit. The matrix element relevant to the heavy to light vector meson semileptonic decays is parametrized by a set of four heavy flavor-spin…

Semi-leptonic $B$ decays provide promising channels to test the Standard Model, search for signs of new physics, or determine fundamental parameters like CKM matrix elements. We present an update on our calculation of short distance…

We present a new calculation of the B->pi form-factor f_+, relevant for the measurement of |V_{ub}| from semileptonic B->pi transitions, from QCD sum rules on the light-cone. The new element is the calculation of radiative corrections to…

In this write-up we review and update our recent lattice QCD calculation of $B \to K^*$, $B_s \to \phi$, and $B_s \to K^*$ form factors [arXiv:1310.3722]. These unquenched calculations, performed in the low-recoil kinematic regime, provide…

We construct light-cone sum rules (LCSR) for the $B\to K^*$ form factors in the large recoil region using vacuum-to-$B$-meson correlation functions, and systematically calculate subleading-power corrections to these form factors at tree…

We obtain model independent bounds for the form factors which arise in semileptonic B -> Pi decays. To this end we derive a theoretical restriction for possible combinations of the value of the form factor and its derivatives at the…

We derive two model-independent sum rules relating the transition matrix elements for radiative and strong decays of excited heavy mesons to properties of the lowest-lying heavy mesons. The sum rule for the radiative decays is an analog of…

We show -- by explicit computation of first-order corrections -- that the QCD factorization approach previously applied to hadronic two-body decays and to form factor ratios also allows us to compute non-factorizable corrections to…

A mini-review of measurements of inclusive semileptonic $B \to X_c\ell\nu$ and radiative $B\to X_s\gamma$ decays is presented. The semileptonic $X_c$ mass moments are presented from Belle and BABAR. The inclusive $B\to X_s\gamma$ gamma…

We propose a simple parametrization for the form factors in heavy to light decays which satisfies the heavy quark scaling laws and avoids introducing the explicit "dipole" form. The illustration is provided on the set of lattice data for B…

We apply a recent theoretical analysis of hadronic observables in inclusive semileptonic heavy hadron decays to the phenomenology of $B$ and $D$ mesons. Correlated bounds on the nonperturbative parameters $\bar\Lambda$ and $\lambda_1$ are…

Semileptonic decays $D\to K,K^*,\pi,\rho$, $D_s\to \eta,\eta',\phi$, and $B\to D,D^*,\pi,\rho$ are analyzed within the dispersion formulation of the quark model. The form factors at timelike $q$ are derived by the analytical continuation…

We update the full set of $\bar{B}_s\rightarrow K$ form factors using light-cone sum rules with an on-shell kaon. Our approach determines the relevant sum rule parameters -- the duality thresholds -- from a Bayesian fit for the first time.…

We discuss the exclusive radiative decays $B\to K^{*}\gamma$, $B \to\rho\gamma$, and $B\to\omega\gamma$ in QCD factorization within the Standard Model. The analysis is based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. Our results for these decays are…

We calculate the form factors for weak decays of $B_{(s)}$ and $D_{(s)}$ mesons to light pseudoscalar and vector mesons within a relativistic dispersion approach based on the constituent quark picture. This approach gives the form factors…

The transition form factors describing the semileptonic decays of heavy pseudoscalar mesons are investigated within a relativistic constituent quark model formulated on the light-front. For the first time, the form factors are calculated in…

This article describes a determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ from the decay $B^0\to D^{*-}\ell^+\nu_\ell$ using 711 fb$^{-1}$ of Belle data collected near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. We simultaneously…

In the heavy quark effective theory, hadronic matrix elements of currents between two hadrons containing a heavy quark are expanded in inverse powers of the heavy quark masses, with coefficients that are functions of the kinematic variable…

We use QCD sum rules to calculate the hadronic matrix elements governing the rare decays $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ induced by the flavour changing neutral current $b \to s$ transition. We also study relations…

The measured $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} l \bar\nu$ decay rates for light leptons ($l=e,\mu$) constrain all $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ semileptonic form factors, by including both the leading and ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b})$ subleading…
