Symmetry Relations for Heavy-to-Light Meson Form Factors at Large Recoil

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/839592· OSTI ID:839592
The description of large-recoil heavy-to-light meson form factors is reviewed in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory. At leading power in the heavy-quark expansion, three classes of approximate symmetry relations arise. The relations are compared to experimental data for D {yields} K* and D{sub s} {yields} {phi} form factors, and to light-cone QCD sum rule predictions for B {yields} {pi} and B {yields} {rho} form factors. Implications for the extraction of |V{sub ub}| from semileptonic B {yields} {rho} decays are discussed.
