Double-lepton polarization asymmetries in the (B -> K l^+ l^-) decay beyond the Standard Model

General expressions for the double-lepton polarizations in the (B -> K l^+ l^-) decay are obtained, using model independent effective Hamiltonian, including all possible interactions. Correlations between the averaged double-lepton polarization asymmetries and the branching ratio, as well as, the averaged single-lepton polarization asymmetry are studied. It is observed that, study of the double-lepton polarization asymmetries can serve as a good test for establishing new physics beyond the Standard Model.Comment: 21 pages, 18 figures, LaTeX formatte

Penguin induced (B -> eta) transition form factor in light cone QCD

We calculate the penguin form factor for the (B -> eta l^+ l^-) decay. This form factor is calculated in light cone QCD sum rules, including contributions from wave functions up to twist-4, as well as mass corrections of the light (eta) meson.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX formatte

Magnetic moments of negative-parity baryons in QCD

Using the most general form of the interpolating current for the octet baryons, the magnetic moments of the negative-parity baryons are calculated within the light-cone sum rules. The contributions coming from diagonal transitions of the positive-parity baryons, and also from non-diagonal transition between positive and negative-parity baryons are eliminated by considering the combinations of different sum rules corresponding to the different Lorentz structures. A comparison of our results on magnetic moments of the negative-parity baryons with the other approaches existing in literature is presented.Comment: 23 pages, No figures, LaTeX formatte

Magnetic moments of JP=32−J^P = {3\over 2}^- baryons in QCD

The magnetic moments of the low lying, negative parity, spin-3/2 baryons are calculated within the light cone QCD sum rules method. The contributions coming from the positive parity, spin-3/2 baryons, as well as from the positive and negative parity spin-1/2 baryons are eliminated by constructing combinations of various invariant amplitudes corresponding to the coefficients of the different Lorentz structures.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX formatte

The Strong g_B(**)BPi Coupling Constant in full QCD

To leading order in alpha_s, the leading and non-leading 1/m_b corrections to the excited g_B^(**) meson coupling g_B^(**)BPi is calculated in the framework of QCD spectral moment sum rules in the full theory. Our prediction is in good agreement=20 with the light-cone QCD sum rule result.Comment: 7 pages,LaTeX formatte

Exclusive B -> K^* l^+ l^- decay with polarized K^* and new physics effects

Using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian, the branching ratio of the (B -> K^* l^+ l^-) decay, when K^* meson is longitudinally or transversally polarized, is presented. The dependence of the branching ratio on the new Wilson coefficients, when K^* meson is polarized, is studied. It is observed that the branching ratio is very sensitive to the vector and tensor type interactions, which will be useful in search of new physics beyond the Standard Model.Comment: 13 pp, 6 figures (postscript formatted), LaTex formatte

B_c -> l nu gamma decay in light cone QCD

The radiative B_c -> l nu gamma decay is investigated in the Standard Model in framework of the light cone QCD. The transition form factors and decay width are calculated. A comparison of light cone QCD and constituent quark model predictions on these quantities is presented.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, LaTeX formatte
