Form Factor Relations for Heavy-to-Light Transitions
نویسنده
چکیده
Assuming simple properties of the spectator particle in weak decays the form factors of hadronic current matrix elements are shown to be related to a single universal function. The Isgur-Wise result for heavy-to-heavy transitions follows as well as similar relations for heavy-to-light decay processes. The approximation should hold for total energies of the final particle large compared to the confinement scale. A comparison with experimentally determined D-decay form factors and QCD sum rule results for B-decays is very encouraging.

Form factor relations for heavy-to-heavy and heavy-to-light meson transitions.
Relations between the form factors that parametrize the hadronic matrix elements, in spectator decays of heavy mesons, have been derived by Stech within the constituent quark model. In here, we examine these relations using a slightly modified description of the meson states. We find new and very general relations for some of the form factors. For the other form factors, we obtain small modific...
متن کاملForm factor relations for heavy-to-light meson transitions: tests of the Quark Model predictions
In the amplitudes for the weak semi-leptonic decays of mesons, the hadronic matrix elements are parametrized by form factors that describe the non-perturbative QCD effects and are a source of large theoretical uncertainties. In the case of heavy-to-light meson transitions, a Quark Model derivation leads to very general relations between those hadronic form factors, such that only two remain tha...
متن کاملHeavy to light baryon transition form factors.
Recently, Stech found form factor relations for heavy to light transitions based on two simple dynamical assumptions for spectator partical. In this work we generalize his approach to the case of baryons and find that for ΛQ → Λ (Q=b or c) only one independent form factor remains in limit mQ → ∞. Furthermore, combining with the model of Guo and Kroll we determine both of the two form factors fo...
متن کاملForm Factors for Semi-Leptonic and Radiative Decays of Heavy Mesons to Light Mesons
To know and understand form factors of hadronic currents is of decisive importance for analysing exclusive weak decays. The ratios of different form factors of a given process depend on the relativistic spin structure of initial and final particles. It is shown — assuming simple properties of the spectator particle — that these ratios can entirely be expresssed in terms of particle and quark ma...
متن کاملSpectral Functions for Heavy-Light Currents and Form Factor Relations in HQET
We derive relations among form factors describing the current-induced transitions: (vacuum) → B,B, Bπ,Bπ,Bρ and Bρ using heavy quark symmetry. The results are compared to corresponding form factor relations following from identities between scalar and axial vector, and pseudoscalar and vector spectral functions in the heavy quark limit.
