Bounds on Heavy-to-Heavy Mesonic Form Factors
Abstract
We provide upper and lower bounds on the form factors for B -> D, D* by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to leading order in LambdaQCD/mQ and alphas. The O(alphas2 beta0) corrections to the bounds at zero recoil are also presented. We compare our bounds with some of the form factor models used in the literature. All the models we investigated failed to fall within the bounds for the combination of form factors (omega2 - 1)/(4 omega)|omega hA2+hA3|2.
