Strong Couplings of Heavy Mesons to A Light Vector Meson in QCD

Abstract

We make a detailed analysis of the $BB\rho(DD\rho)$ and $B^*B\rho(D^{*}D\rho)$ strong couplings $g_{BB\rho}(g_{DD\rho})$ and $g_{B^*B\rho}(g_{D^{*}D\rho})$ using QCD light cone sum rules(LCSR). The existing some negligence is pointed out in the previous LCSR calculation on $g_{B^*B\rho} (g_{D^{\ast}D\rho}$) and an updated estimate is presented. Our findings can be used to understand the behavior of the $B,D \to \rho$ semileptonic form factors at large momentum transitions.Comment: 15 pages, latex, 2 figures, version appearing in PRD, typos correcte
