Model-Independent Extraction of |V_{cb}| Using Dispersion Relations
read the original abstract
We present a method for parametrizing heavy meson semileptonic form factors using dispersion relations, and from it produce a two-parameter description of the B -> B elastic form factor. We use heavy quark symmetry to relate this function to B->D* l \nu form factors, and extract |V_{cb}|=0.037^{+0.003}_{-0.002} from experimental data with a least squares fit. Our method eliminates model-dependent uncertainties inherent in choosing a parametrization for the extrapolation of the differential decay rate to threshold. The method also allows a description of B -> D l nu form factors accurate to 1% in terms of two parameters.

$b \to c$ semileptonic sum rule: orbitally excited hadrons
Sum rules for b→cτν transitions to orbitally excited charm hadrons show larger deviations from heavy quark symmetry than ground states, with tensor effects often sizable, but current form factor uncertainties prevent ...

Mass of the dark antibaryon using $B_d\rightarrow \Lambda \psi_{DS}$ channel in light cone QCD
The mass ranges for the dark antibaryon ψ_DS are determined by deriving the B_d → Λ ψ_DS branching fraction via light-cone QCD sum rules and comparing it to BaBar and Belle experimental bounds.
