We overview the current status and future perspectives of the QCD-based method of light-
cone sum rules. The two main versions of these sum rules, using light-meson and B-meson …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 2158 new measurements from 551 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …

We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body B-
meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The resulting factorization formula incorporates …

In the heavy-quark limit, the hadronic matrix elements entering nonleptonic B-meson decays
into two light mesons can be calculated from first principles including “nonfactorizable” …

A bstract It has been shown recently that the anomalies observed in\(\overline {B}\to {D}^{\left
(*\right)}\tau {\overline {\nu}} _ {\tau}\) and\(\overline {B}\to\overline {K}{\ell}^{+}{\ell}^{-}\) …

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 …

Recently it has been shown that symmetries emerging in the heavy quark and large recoil
energy limit impose various relations on form factors that parameterize the decay of B …

We study a Lagrangian formalism that avoids double counting in effective field theories
where distinct fields are used to describe different infrared momentum regions for the same …

The B-meson distribution amplitude is calculated using QCD sum rules. In particular we
obtain an estimate for the integral relevant to exclusive B decays λ B= 460±110 MeV at the …
