2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/39813We give a short review of QCD sum rule results for B and D mesons and Lambda_Q and Sigma_Q baryons. We focus mainly on recent developments concerning semileptonic B->pion and D->pion transitions, pion couplings to heavy hadrons, decay constants and estimates of the b quark mass from a baryonic sum rule, and the extraction of the pion distribution amplitude from CLEO data.12 pages, LaTeX, Talk given by O.Yakovlev at the 4th Workshop on Continuous Advances in QCD, Minneapolis, May 12-14, 2000; to appear in the ProceedingsHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
