ABSTRACT We extract the form factors relevant for semileptonic decays of D and B mesons from a relativistic computation on a fine lattice in the quenched approximation. The lattice spacing is a = 0.04 fm (corresponding to a
-1 = 4.97 GeV), which allows us to run very close to the physical B meson mass, and to reduce the systematic errors associated with the extrapolation in terms of a heavy-quark expansion. For decays of D and Ds mesons, our results for the physical form factors at

$\ensuremath q^2 = 0$
are as follows:

$\ensuremath f_+^{D\rightarrow\pi}(0) = 0.74(6)(4)$
,

$\ensuremath f_+^{D \rightarrow K}(0) = 0.78(5)(4)$
and

$\ensuremath f_+^{D_s \rightarrow K} (0) = 0.68(4)(3)$
. Similarly, for B and Bs we find

$\ensuremath f_+^{B\rightarrow\pi}(0) = 0.27(7)(5)$
,

$\ensuremath f_+^{B\rightarrow K} (0) = 0.32(6)(6)$
and

$\ensuremath f_+^{B_s\rightarrow K}(0) = 0.23(5)(4)$
. We compare our results with other quenched and unquenched lattice calculations, as well as with light-cone sum rule predictions, finding good agreement.

##### Article: Recent Developments on the CKM Matrix
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In Standard Model, CP violation arises from an irreducible complex phase in the quark mixing matrix, now under the name Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. This description has shown remarkably overall agreement with various experimental measurements. In this review, we discuss recent experimental data and theoretical developments on three quantities of CKM matrix that are most uncertain: the $V_{ub}$, including its magnitude and the phase $\gamma$ in standard parametrization, and the $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing phase $\beta_s$.

##### Article: HADRONIC FORM FACTORS: COMBINING QCD CALCULATIONS WITH ANALYTICITY
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: I discuss recent applications of QCD light-cone sum rules to various form factors of pseudoscalar mesons. In this approach both soft and hard contributions to the form factors are taken into account. Combining QCD calculation with the analyticity of the form factors, one enlarges the region of accessible momentum transfers.
