Description

We use QCD light-cone sum rules with holographic anti de Sit- ter/Chromodynamics (AdS/QCD) Distribution Amplitudes (DAs) for the K∗ meson in order to predict the full set of seven B → K∗ transition form factors for intermediate-to-high recoil of the vector meson. We use our form factors to predict the differential and total branching fraction of the rare dileptonic decay B → K∗μ+μ− which we compare to the recent LHCb data.
