We calculate the $Bto D^{(*)}$ form factors in the heavy-quark and large-recoil limits in the perturbative QCD framework based on $k_T$ factorization theorem, assuming the hierachy $M_Bgg M_{D^{(*)}}gg barLambda$, with the $B$ meson mass $M_B$, the $D^{(*)}$ meson mass $M_{D^{(*)}}$, and the heavy meson and heavy quark mass difference $barLambda$. The qualitative behavior of the light-cone $D^{(*)}$ meson wave function and the associated Sudakov resummation are derived. The leading-power contributions to the $Bto D^{(*)}$ form factors, characterized by the scale $barLambdasqrt{M_B/M_{D^{(*)}}}$, respect the heavy-quark symmetry. The next-to-leading-power corrections in $1/M_B$ and $1/M_{D^{(*)}}$, characterized by a scale larger than $sqrt{barLambda M_B}$, are estimated to be less than 20%. The $D^{(*)}$ meson wave function is determined from the fit to the observed $Bto D^{(*)} l u$ decay spectrum, which can be employed to make predictions for nonleptonic decays, such as $Bto D^{(*)}pi(rho)$.

We compute perturbative QCD corrections to $B to D$ form factors at leading power in $Lambda/m_b$, at large hadronic recoil, from the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes in HQET. QCD factorization for the vacuum-to-$B$-meson correlation function with an interpolating current for the $D$-meson is demonstrated explicitly at one loop with the power counting scheme $m_c sim {cal O} left (sqrt{Lambda , m_b} right ) $. The jet functions encoding information of the hard-collinear dynamics in the above-mentioned correlation function are complicated by the appearance of an additional hard-collinear scale $m_c$, compared to the counterparts entering the factorization formula of the vacuum-to-$B$-meson correction function for the construction of $B to pi$ from factors. Inspecting the next-to-leading-logarithmic sum rules for the form factors of $B to D ell u$ indicates that perturbative corrections to the hard-collinear functions are more profound than that for the hard functions, with the default theory inputs, in the physical kinematic region. We further compute the subleading power correction induced by the three-particle quark-gluon distribution amplitudes of the $B$-meson at tree level employing the background gluon field approach. The LCSR predictions for the semileptonic $B to D ell u$ form factors are then extrapolated to the entire kinematic region with the $z$-series parametrization. Phenomenological implications of our determinations for the form factors $f_{BD}^{+, 0}(q^2)$ are explored by investigating the (differential) branching fractions and the $R(D)$ ratio of $B to D ell u$ and by determining the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ from the total decay rate of $B to D mu u_{mu}$.
We derive new QCD sum rules for $Bto D$ and $Bto D^*$ form factors. The underlying correlation functions are expanded near the light-cone in terms of $B$-meson distribution amplitudes defined in HQET, whereas the $c$-quark mass is kept finite. The leading-order contributions of two- and three-particle distribution amplitudes are taken into account. From the resulting light-cone sum rules we calculate all $Bto Dst $ form factors in the region of small momentum transfer (maximal recoil). In the infinite heavy-quark mass limit the sum rules reduce to a single expression for the Isgur-Wise function. We compare our predictions with the form factors extracted from experimental $Bto Dst l u_l$ decay rates fitted to dispersive parameterizations.
The $H^*Hpi$ form factor for H = B and D mesons is evaluated in a QCD sum rule calculation. We study the Borel sum rule for the three point function of two pseudoscalar and one vector meson currents up to order four in the operator product expansion. The double Borel transform is performed with respect to the heavy meson momenta. We discuss the momentum dependence of the form factors and two different approaches to extract the $H^*Hpi$ coupling constant.
Applying the vacuum-to-$B$-meson correlation functions with an interpolating current for the light vector meson we construct the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) for the effective form factors $xi_{parallel}(n cdot p)$, $xi_{perp}(n cdot p)$, $Xi_{parallel}(tau, n cdot p)$ and $Xi_{perp}(tau, n cdot p)$, defined by the corresponding hadronic matrix elements in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), entering the leading-power factorization formulae for QCD form factors responsible for $B to V ell bar u_{ell}$ and $B to V ell bar ell$ decays at large hadronic recoil at next-to-leading-order in QCD. The light-quark mass effect for the local SCET form factors $xi_{parallel}(n cdot p)$ and $xi_{perp}(n cdot p)$ is also computed from the LCSR method with the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude $phi_B^{+}(omega, mu)$ at ${cal O}(alpha_s)$. Furthermore, the subleading power corrections to $B to V$ form factors from the higher-twist $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are also computed with the same method at tree level up to the twist-six accuracy. Having at our disposal the LCSR predictions for $B to V$ form factors, we further perform new determinations of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ from the semileptonic $B to rho , ell , bar u_{ell}$ and $B to omega , ell , bar u_{ell}$ decays, and predict the normalized differential branching fractions and the $q^2$-binned $K^{ast}$ longitudinal polarization fractions of the exclusive rare $B to K^{ast} , u_{ell} , bar u_{ell}$ decays.
We report on our calculation of the B to D^(*) ell u form factors in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD. The Mobius domain-wall action is employed for light, strange, charm and bottom quarks. At lattice cutoffs 1/a sim 2.4, 3.6 and 4.5 GeV, we simulate bottom quark masses up to 0.7/a to control discretization errors. The pion mass is as low as 230 MeV. We extrapolate the form factors to the continuum limit and physical quark masses, and make a comparison with recent phenomenological analyses.
