The semileptonic decay channel B -> D tau nu is sensitive to the presence of a scalar current, such as that mediated by a charged-Higgs boson. Recently the BaBar experiment reported the first observation of the exclusive semileptonic decay…
Based on the mechanism of neutral meson mixing, we predict the branching fraction of the semileptonic decay of $D_s^+\to \pi^0 \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e$, $\mu$) using recently measured branching fraction of $D_s^+\to \eta e^+\nu_e$ by…
We discuss $B_c \to \eta_c$ and $B_c \to J/\psi$ semileptonic decays within the Standard Model (SM) and beyond. The relevant transition form factors, being the main source of theoretical uncertainties, are calculated in the sum rule…
New physics in the form of scalar/pseudoscalar operators cannot lower the semileptonic branching ratio B(B --> K mu+ mu-) below its standard model value. In addition, we show that the upper bound on the leptonic branching ratio B(B_s -->…
Motivated by the recent experimental results of branching fractions for D_((s))^+ arrows {\eta}^((')) l^+ {\nu}_l decays, which deviate from their SM predictions, we have investigated these decays in W' model and scalar leptoquark model to…
The rare B_s-> \phi \ell^+ \ell^- decay is investigated by using the most general model independent effective Hamiltonian for $\ell= \mu, \tau$. The calculated $Br(B_s \rar \phi \mu^+ \mu^-) = 1.92 \times 10^{-6}$ is in consistent with the…
The LHCb bounds on the branching ratio of rare decay $D^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and the constraints on the branching ratio of $D^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^+ \mu^-$ in the nonresonant regions enable us to improve constraints on new physics contributions.…
Branching ratios and polarization amplitudes for B decaying to all allowed pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector, scalar and tensor combinations of D_s and D mesons are calculated in the Isgur Scora Grinstein Wise (ISGW) quark model after…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
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…
Current data on semileptonic charged- and neutral-current $B$ decays show deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model. It is well known that a charged Higgs boson, belonging to the two-Higgs doublet model without $Z_2$ symmetry,…
A comparative study of the exclusive rare $B_{c}\rightarrow D_{s}^{\ast}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ ($\ell=\mu, \tau$) decays has been made in the minimal supersymmetric models (MSSM) and the SUSY SO(10) GUT models. In this context, various physical…
Form factors of $D$ decays into $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ tensor mesons are calculated in the light-cone sum rules approach up to twist-4 distribution amplitudes of the tensor meson. The masses of the tensor mesons are comparable to that of the charm…

The latest BaBar measurements of the ratios ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})=\displaystyle{\frac{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \tau {\bar \nu}_\tau)}{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \mu {\bar \nu}_\mu)}}$ deviate from the Standard Model predictions at the global level…
Inspired by recent improved measurements of charm semileptonic decays at BESIII, we study a large set of $D(D_s)$-meson semileptonic decays where the hadron in the final state is one of $D^0$, $\rho$, $\omega$, $\eta^{(\prime)}$ in the case…
Semileptonic and purely leptonic decays of B meson to $\tau$, such as $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ and $B\to\tau\nu_\tau$ are studied. Recognizing that there already were some weak hints of possible deviations from the SM in the…

The persisting anomalous data in semileptonic B-decays point towards New Physics models exhibiting large sources of Lepton Flavour Universality Violation. In this work we generalise previous studies by considering frameworks which include…
The purely leptonic decays D -> e nu and Ds -> e nu, for which no experimental limits exist, are highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Mere observation of these decays at the B factories BELLE/BaBar or forthcoming CLEO-c would be a clear…
