Abstract:
QCD sum rules on the light-cone are derived for the sum f++ff^+ + f^- of the BπB\to \pi and DπD\to \pi form factors taking into account contributions up to twist four. Combining the results with the corresponding f+f^+ form factors calculated previously by the same method, we obtain the scalar form factors f0f^0. Our sum rule predictions are compared with lattice results, current-algebra constraints, and quark-model calculations. Furthermore, we calculate decay distributions and the integrated width for the semileptonic decay BπτˉντB \to \pi \bar{\tau}\nu_\tau which is sensitive to f0f^0. Finally, the dependence of the sum rules on the heavy quark mass and the asymptotic scaling laws are discussed.
