We present a determination of $|V_{cb}|$ from semileptonic B decays that includes resummation of supposedly large perturbative corrections, originating from the running of the strong coupling. We argue that the low value of the BLM scale…
A modified neutrino sector could imprint a signature on precision measurements of the quark sector because many such measurements rely on the semi-leptonic decays of the charged currents. Currently, global fits of the determinations of the…
$B$ processes are a rich source of potential anomalies that could lead to the discovery of BSM physics. The long-standing tension between the inclusive and the exclusive determinations of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{xb}|$, or the current…
We present two recent measurements of semileptonic B decays at Belle, offering valuable insights into the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. These analyses use the full Belle dataset, comprising…
We summarize the status of semileptonic and leptonic $B$ decays, including $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ exclusive and inclusive determinations, decays to excited states of the charm meson spectrum and decays into $\tau$ leptons.
This proceeding summarizes the recent measurements of semileptonic $b\to u$ decays from the Belle experiment. These analyses use the full data set collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance at KEKB accelerator complex with a center-of-mass…
The leptonic $\tau$ decays are calculated at the 1-loop level in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The deviation from the $\tau - \mu - e$ universality is studied as a function of the supersymmetric parameters and discussed in the…
B physics has played a prominent role in investigations of new physics effects at low-energies. Presently, the largest discrepancy between a standard model prediction and experimental measurements appears in the branching ratio of the…
We review the present status of theoretical attempts to calculate the semileptonic charm and bottom decays and then present a calculation of these decays in the light--front frame at the kinematic point $q^2=0$. This allows us to evaluate…
We study the effects of the fourth generation of quarks on the total branching ratio and the lepton polarizations in $\bar{B}_{0}\rightarrow K_{0}^{\ast}(1430)l^{+}l^{-}$($l$ = $\mu $, $\tau $) decay. Taking fourth generation quark mass…
We present a search for the decay $B^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ in $88.9 \times 10^{6}$ $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays recorded with the BABAR detector at the SLAC $B$-Factory. A sample of semi-exclusive, semi-leptonic B decays ($B^{-} \to D^{0}…
The most general supersymmetric model contains baryon number violating terms of the form $\lambda_{ijk}\;\ov{D}_i\, \ov{D}_j\, \ov{U}_k$ in the superpotential. We reconsider the bounds on these couplings, assuming that lepton number…
The rare semileptonic $B_c \rightarrow D_{s,d}\, \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays are studied in the universal extra dimension with a single extra dimension scenario. The sensitivity of differential and total branching ratios, polarization asymmetries…
Deviation from the standard model prediction is observed in many semileptonic $B$ decays mediated via $b \to c$ charged current interactions. In particular, current experimental measurements of the ratio of branching ratio $R_D$ and…
We present the study of the semileptonic decay \Lambda_c to \Lambda\ell^+\nu by using the light-cone sum rule approach. Distribution amplitudes (DAs) for the \Lambda baryon are discussed to the leading order conformal spin, and QCD sum rule…
Recent advances in the calculation of the $b\to s\gamma$ decay branching ratio are presented in the context of supersymmetric theories. Theoretical accuracy increased by inclusion of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections makes it…
The $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rules provide relations between the decay rates of $B \to D^{(*)} \tau\bar\nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau\bar\nu$. Starting from the heavy quark and zero-recoil limits, we revisit the derivation of the…

We summarize the program of working group 1 at the 12th Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle, whose main subjects covered $V_{ud}$, $V_{us}$, and first-row unitarity as well as $V_{cd}$, $V_{cs}$, and (semi-)leptonic $D$ decays.
The present status of the measurement of the semileptonic B decays is reviewed. Emphasis is given on the factors affecting experimental errors of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Masawa matrix element |Vcb | and |Vub |.
