Abstract

Heavy-to-light weak form factor is calculated using the light-cone sum rule (LCSR)in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). There are spin-symmetric and spin-nonsymmetric contributions. Leading order spin-symmetric contribution corresponds to the ''soft overlap'' where some of the partons carry very small momentum. The next-to-leading order spin-symmetric and spin-nonsymmetric parts are characterized by a collinear gluon exchange with the spectator quark. We reproduce the full theory LCSR results and give comments on recent LCSR in SCET.
