Using the measured spectrum shape for $B \to \pi \ell \nu$, the rate for $B^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0$, information on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, and theoretical inputs from factorization and lattice gauge…

The decays $B_d^0\to J/\psi K^0_{\text{S}}$and $B_s^0\to J/\psi\phi$ play a key role for the determination of the $B^0_q$-$\bar B^0_q$ ($q=d,s$) mixing phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$, respectively. The theoretical precision of the extraction…
