Abstract: (arXiv)
We calculate the DDπD^*D\pi and BBπB^*B\pi couplings using QCD sum rules on the light-cone. In this approach, the large-distance dynamics is incorporated in a set of pion wave functions. We take into account two-particle and three-particle wave functions of twist 2, 3 and 4. The resulting values of the coupling constants are gDDπ=12.5±1g_{D^*D\pi}= 12.5\pm 1 and gBBπ=29±3g_{B^*B\pi}= 29\pm 3 . From this we predict the partial width \Gamma (D^{*+} \ra D^0 \pi^+ )=32 \pm 5~ keV . We also discuss the soft-pion limit of the sum rules which is equivalent to the external axial field approach employed in earlier calculations. Furthermore, using gBBπg_{B^*B\pi} and gDDπg_{D^*D\pi} the pole dominance model for the B \ra \pi and D\ra \pi semileptonic form factors is compared with the direct calculation of these form factors in the same framework of light-cone sum rules.
