Discrepancies have been noted between experimental measurements and Standard Model predictions for various observables related to the $B\to(K, K^*,\phi) ll$ processes. Recently, the Belle-II Collaboration observed a $2.8\sigma$ deviation…
The anomalous results of recent measurements on various $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ processes could be initial evidence of physics beyond the standard model (SM). Assuming this to be the case, we entertain the possibility that the underlying new…
The persistent deviations observed in semileptonic $B$ decays, in particular the lepton flavor universality ratios $\mathcal{R}(D^{(*)})$ and $\mathcal{R}(\Lambda_c)$, provide intriguing hints of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM).…
Data in $B$-meson decays indicate violations of lepton flavour universality, thereby raising the question about such phenomena in the charm sector. We perform a model-independent analysis of NP contributions in (semi)-leptonic decays of…
Leptonic rare decays of $B^0_{s,d}$ mesons offer a powerful tool to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The $B^0_{s}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay has been observed at the Large Hadron Collider and the first measurement of the effective…
We study the four-body exclusive semileptonic baryonic $\bar B$ decays of $B^-\to p\bar p \ell^- \bar\nu_{\ell}$ ($\ell=e,\mu,\tau$) in the standard model. We find that their decay branching ratios are about $(1.0, 1.0,0.5)\times 10^{-4}$,…
The measurements of rare leptonic and semi-leptonic B decays performed at the LHC, not showing any significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations, put strong constraints on new physics. A brief account of the impact of recent…
In this article, we assume the two nonets of scalar mesons below and above 1 GeV are all $\bar{q}q$ states, and study the semi-leptonic decays $B\to S\ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$, $B\to S\ell^+\ell^-$ and $B\to S\bar{\nu}\nu$ both in the…
In the large $N_c$ limit, the nonleptonic width of the B meson is determined by the lepton mass spectrum in semileptonic B decay and the hadron mass spectrum in $\tau$ decay. This result can be compared with the nonleptonic width computed…
We perform an analysis of two-body non leptonic decays of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons in the factorization approximation. We make use of the semileptonic decay amplitudes previously calculated on the basis of an effective lagrangian satisfying…
Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon(1S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency of this expansion is shown both at low and high…
Experimental measurements of $R_{D}$, $R_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/\Psi}$ in $B \to (D,\,D^{\ast})l\nu$ and $B_c \to J/\Psi l \nu$ decays mediated via $b \to c\,l\,\nu$ charged current interactions deviate from standard model prediction by…
We investigate the semileptonic and leptonic B decays, B to D^{(*)} tau nu and B to tau nu in our multi-Higgs-doublet models, while keeping in mind the enhancement of the top forward-backward (FB) asymmetry (A^t_{FB}) at the Tevatron. In…
We present selected new results on leptonic B meson decays from the BaBar experiment: searches for the decays B0->l+l-, B+->l+nu and B0->l+tau-, and B->Knunubar, where l=e or mu. The decay modes imply also their charge conjugations. We…
We confront the indications of lepton flavor universality (LFU) violation observed in semi-tauonic $B$ meson decays with new physics (NP) searches using high $p_T$ tau leptons at the LHC. Using effective field theory arguments we correlate…
We study semileptonic decays $B^\pm \to \eta^{(\prime)} l \nu$, which are suggested to be used to extract the hadronic form factors of $B$ meson decays to $\eta(\eta^{\prime})$ and the angle of $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing. This would be of…
A relativistic quark model is applied to the description of semileptonic and non-leptonic charmed decays of the B-meson. The exclusive semileptonic modes B -> D l \nu and B -> D* l \nu are described through the universal Isgur-Wise form…
We determine the rates of the $B$ meson decays into a $K^{(*)}$ and an $\ell^+ \ell^-$ bound state, the leptonium, where $\ell = e,\mu,\tau$. The two spin states of the leptonium, the spin singlet and the spin triplet, couple to the axial…
Semileptonic decays of charged and neutral $B$ mesons play a critical role in the determination of the magnitudes of the CKM-matrix elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$, and in the test of the lepton universality which is a basic assumption of…
We revisit the $L_\mu - L_\tau$ extension of the Standard Model that can simultaneously address anomalies in semileptonic $B$ meson decays and the nature of dark matter (DM). In the region favored by the $B$ anomalies, this scenario is…
