Semileptonic and rare B meson decays into a light pseudoscalar meson

In the framework of a QCD relativistic potential model we evaluate the form factors describing the exclusive decays B→πℓν and B→Kℓ+ℓ−. The present calculation extends a previous analysis of B meson decays into light vector mesons. We find results in agreement with the data, when available, and with the theoretical constraints imposed by the Callan-Treiman relation and the infinite heavy quark mass limit.
