Excited Heavy Mesons Decay Formfactors in Light Cone QCD

The formfactors of B_1 -> pi and D_1 -> pi transitions, where B_1(D_1) is the 1^+ P-wave -> Q gamma_{\nu}\gamma_5q meson state, are calculated in the framework of the light cone QCD. Furthermore these formfactors are compared with the pole dominance model prediction using the values of the strong coupling constants g_{B_1 B^* pi} and g_{D_1 D^* pi}, and a good agreement between these two different descriptions is observed.
