Using the method of QCD light-cone sum rules, we calculate the $B to pipi$ hadronic matrix elements with annihilation topology. We obtain a finite result, including the related strong phase. Numerically, the annihilation effects in $Bto pipi$ turn out to be small with respect to the factorizable emission mechanism. Our predictions, together with the earlier sum rule estimates of emission and penguin contributions, are used for the phenomenological analysis of $Bto pipi$ channels. We predict a $Delta I=1/2$ transition amplitude which significantly differs from this amplitude extracted from the current data.

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.
We compute perturbative corrections to $B to pi$ form factors from QCD light-cone sum rules with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes. Applying the method of regions we demonstrate factorization of the vacuum-to-$B$-meson correlation function defined with an interpolating current for pion, at one-loop level, explicitly in the heavy quark limit. The short-distance functions in the factorization formulae of the correlation function involves both hard and hard-collinear scales; and these functions can be further factorized into hard coefficients by integrating out the hard fluctuations and jet functions encoding the hard-collinear information. Resummation of large logarithms in the short-distance functions is then achieved via the standard renormalization-group approach. We further show that structures of the factorization formulae for $f_{B pi}^{+}(q^2)$ and $f_{B pi}^{0}(q^2)$ at large hadronic recoil from QCD light-cone sum rules match that derived in QCD factorization. In particular, we perform an exploratory phenomenological analysis of $B to pi$ form factors, paying attention to various sources of perturbative and systematic uncertainties, and extract $|V_{ub}|= left(3.05^{+0.54}_{-0.38} |_{rm th.} pm 0.09 |_{rm exp.}right) times 10^{-3}$ with the inverse moment of the $B$-meson distribution amplitude $phi_B^{+}(omega)$ determined by reproducing $f_{B pi}^{+}(q^2=0)$ obtained from the light-cone sum rules with $pi$ distribution amplitudes. Furthermore, we present the invariant-mass distributions of the lepton pair for $B to pi ell u_{ell}$ ($ell= mu ,, tau$) in the whole kinematic region. Finally, we discuss non-valence Fock state contributions to the $B to pi$ form factors $f_{B pi}^{+}(q^2)$ and $f_{B pi}^{0}(q^2)$ in brief.
We use QCD light-cone sum rules to examine the B -> pi pi hadronic matrix element of the current-current operator with c quarks in the penguin topology (``charming penguin) as a potential source of the substantial O(1/m_b) effects. Our results indicate that charming penguins do not generate sizable nonperturbative effects at finite m_b. The same is valid for the penguin contractions of the current-current operators with light quarks. The dominant penguin topology effects are predicted to be O(alpha_s). Still, the nonperturbative effects at finite m_b can accumulate to a visible effect that is illustrated by calculating the CP-asymmetry in the B^0_d -> pi^+ pi^- decay.
We employ the $Btopi$ form factors obtained from QCD light-cone sum rules and calculate the $Bto pi ell u_l$ width ($ell=e,mu$) in units of $1/|V_{ub}|^2$, integrated over the region of accessible momentum transfers, $0leq q^2leq 12.0 ~GeV^2$. Using the most recent BABAR-collaboration measurements we extract $|V_{ub}|=(3.50^{+0.38}_{-0.33}big|_{th.}pm 0.11 big|_{exp.})times 10^{-3}$. The sum rule results for the form factors, taken as an input for a $z$-series parameterization, yield the $q^2$-shape in the whole semileptonic region of $Bto piell u_ell$. We also present the charged lepton energy spectrum in this decay. Furthermore, the current situation with $Bto tau u_tau$ is discussed from the QCD point of view. We suggest to use the ratio of the $Bto pi tau u_tau$ and $Bto piell u_l ~(ell =mu,e) $ widths as an additional test of Standard Model. The sensitivity of this observable to new physics is illustrated by including a charged Higgs-boson contribution in the semileptonic decay amplitude.
We study the $B to rho$ helicity form factors (HFFs) by applying the light-cone sum rules up to twist-4 accuracy. The HFF has some advantages in comparison to the conventionally calculated transition form factors, such as the HFF parameterization can be achieved via diagonalizable unitarity relations and etc. At the large recoil point, only the $rho$-meson longitudinal component contributes to the HFFs, and we have $mathcal{H}_{rho,0}(0)=0.435^{+0.055}_{-0.045}$ and $mathcal{H}_{rho,{1,2}}(0)equiv 0$. We extrapolate the HFFs to physically allowable $q^2$-region and apply them to the $B to rho$ semileptonic decay. We observe that the $rho$-meson longitudinal component dominates its differential decay width in low $q^2$-region, and its transverse component dominates the high $q^2$-region. Two ratios $R_{rm low}$ and $R_{rm high}$ are used to characterize those properties, and our LCSR calculation gives, $R_{rm low}=0.967^{+0.305}_{-0.284}$ and $R_{rm high}=0.219^{+0.058}_{-0.070}$, which agree with the BaBar measurements within errors.
