We review possible impact of beyond Standard Model physics in the third generation leptonic and semileptonic B decays.
Leptonic decays of $B$-mesons are theoretically very clean probes for testing the Standard Model (SM) and possible physics beyond it. Amongst the various leptonic decays of the $B$-meson, the pure dileptonic decay $B \to \ell^+ \ell^-$ is…
I review the current status of measurements involving semi-tauonic $B$ meson decay at the $B$-factories. I briefly discuss the experimental methods and highlight the importance of background contributions especially from poorly understood…
We search for the leptonic decay $D^+\to e^+\nu_{e}$ using an $e^+e^-$ collision data sample with an integrated luminosity of 20.3~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773~GeV. No significant signal…
We present the results of a search for $B^{+}\to\gamma \ell^{+}\nu_{\ell}$, where $\ell = e, \mu$. We use a sample of 232 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II $B$ Factory. We measure…

We have performed a search for the leptonic B decay B+ --> mu+ nu_mu with data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II storage ring. With an integrated luminosity of approximately 81.4 fb-1 (88.4 million…
