B-Mesons on the Transverse Lattice
We present results from a first study of -mesons that is based on a
transverse lattice formulation of light-front QCD. The shape of the Isgur-Wise
form factor is in very good agreement with experimental data. However, the
calculations yield rather large values for and compared
to contemporary calculations based on other techniques.Comment: invited talk given at CSSM workshop on `Lattice Hadron Physics',

A Study of Heavy-Light Mesons on the Transverse Lattice
We present results from a study of meson spectra and structure in the limit
where one quark is infinitely heavy. The calculations, based on the framework
of light-front QCD formulated on a transverse lattice, are the first
non-perturbative studies of B-mesons in light-front QCD. We calculate the
Isgur-Wise form factor, light-cone distribution amplitude, the heavy-quark
parton distribution function and the leptonic decay constant of B-mesons.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, Revtex, corrected typos, added references,
