Taming the end-point singularities in heavy-to-light decays
  It is argued that there is a fundamental momentum cutoff in heavy-to-light transitions, which is caused by possible Cherenkov gluon radiation when an energetic light parton travels through the ''brown muck''. The soft-overlap contributions where the partonic momenta configuration is highly asymmetric are disfavored, and the problematic end-point singularities and the double countings are absent in this framework. A simple calculation with a natural scale for the cutoff gives a plausible result for the $B\to\pi$ form factor.
