\Lambda_b Lifetime from the HQET Sum Rule
The HQET sum rule analysis for the \Lambda_b matrix element of the four-quark
operator relevant to its lifetime is reported. Our main conclusion is that the
lifetime ratio \tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B^0) can be as low as 0.91.Comment: 5 pages, latex, no figures, uses sprocl.sty (included). Talk by C.

g-2 in composite models of leptons
Based on the bound state description of the muon and general relativistic
covariant quantum field theory, we illustrate with a simple composite model
that the observed deviation of (g-2)_\mu can be a demonstration of the
substructure of the muon and give the constraints on the radius of the muon in
different cases of light constituents and heavy constituents.Comment: 14 pages, 4 eps figures, revtex, several arguments and some

Twist-3 contribution to the pion electromagnetic form factor
Non-leading contribution to the pion electromagnetic form factor which comes
from the pion twist-3 wave function is analyzed in the modified hard scattering
approach (MHSA) proposed by Li and Sterman. This contribution is enhanced
significantly due to bound state effect (the twist-3 wave function is
independent of the fractional momentum carried by the parton and has a large
factor with being the pion meson mass and
being the mean u- and d-quark masses). Consequently, although it is suppressed
by the factor , the twist-3 contribution is comparable with and even
larger than the leading twist (twist-2) contribution at intermediate energy
region of being .Comment: 10 pages, 2 fgures, latex. More discussions on the Sudakov effect
