Constraints on Form Factors For Exclusive Semileptonic Heavy to Light Meson Decays
read the original abstract
We use rigorous QCD dispersion relations to derive model-independent bounds on the B -> pi l nu, D -> pi l nu and D -> K l nu form factors. These bounds are particularly restrictive when the value of the observable form factor at one or more kinematic points is assumed. With reasonable assumptions we find f_B < 195 MeV and that the shape of the form factor becomes severely constrained. These constraints are useful both for model discrimination and for model-insensitive extraction of CKM mixing parameters.

Electromagnetic form factors and structure of the $T_{bb}$ tetraquark from lattice QCD
Lattice QCD on one ensemble yields electromagnetic form factors for T_bb, indicating a compact heavy diquark plus light antidiquark bound state with charge radius smaller than the BB* threshold.

Determination of $B$-meson distribution amplitudes from $B\to \pi,K,D$ transition form factors
Global fit of B to pi, K, D form factors from lattice QCD and LCSR yields lambda_B = 217(19) MeV with model variations and |V_ub| = 3.68(13) x 10^{-3}.

Analysis of the semileptonic decays $\Sigma_b\to\Sigma_cl\bar{\nu}_l$, $\Xi'_b\to\Xi'_cl\bar{\nu}_l$ and $\Omega_b\to\Omega_cl\bar{\nu}_l$ in QCD sum rules
Electroweak form factors for Σ_b→Σ_c, Ξ'_b→Ξ'_c and Ω_b→Ω_c transitions are computed in QCD sum rules, producing decay widths that approximately obey SU(3) flavor symmetry along with branching ratios and new-physics p...
