We study the $f^+$ form factor for the semileptonic $bar B_sto K^+ell^-bar u_ell$ decay in a constituent quark model. The valence quark estimate is supplemented with the contribution from the $bar B^*$ pole that dominates the high $q^2$ region. We us
e a multiply-subtracted Omn`es dispersion relation to extend the quark model predictions from its region of applicability near $q^2_{rm max}=(M_{B_s}-M_K)^2sim 23.75$ GeV$^2$ to all $q^2$ values accessible in the physical decay. To better constrain the dependence of $f^+$ on $q^2$, we fit the subtraction constants to a combined input from previous light cone sum rule [Phys. Rev. D 78 (2008) 054015] and the present quark model results. From this analysis, we obtain $Gamma(bar B_sto K^+ell^-bar u_ell)=(5.45^{+0.83}_{-0.80})|V_{ub}|^2times 10^{-9},{rm MeV}$, which is about 20% higher than the prediction based only on QCD light cone sum rule estimates. Differences are much larger for the $f^+$ form factor in the region above $q^2=15$ GeV$^2$.
We compare our pion production results with recent MiniBooNE data measured in mineral oil. Our total cross sections lie below experimental data for neutrino energies above 1 GeV. Differential cross sections show our model produces too few high energy
pions in the forward direction as compared to data. The agreement with experiment improves by artificially removing pion final state interaction.
We calculate the axial $Nto Delta(1232)$ and $Nto N^{star}(1440)$ transition form factors in a chiral constituent quark model. As required by the partial conservation of axial current ($PCAC$) condition, we include one- and two-body axial exchange cu
rrents. For the axial $Nto Delta(1232)$ form factors we compare with previous quark model calculations that use only one-body axial currents, and with experimental analyses. The paper provides the first calculation of all weak axial $Nto N^{star}(1440)$ form factors. Our main result is that exchange currents are very important for certain axial transition form factors. In addition to improving our understanding of nucleon structure, the present results are relevant for neutrino-nucleus scattering cross section predictions needed in the analysis of neutrino mixing experiments.
