It is experimentally observed that ratios of branching fractions for semitauonic and semileptonic $B$ decays, known as the $R(D^{(*)})$, are higher than Standard Model (SM) predictions. The $B \to \bar{D}^{(*)} \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ decays,…
We investigate the experimentally-accessible kinematic distributions of the $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\tau^-(\to\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell\nu_\tau)\bar\nu_\tau$ decays. Specifically, we study the decay rates as functions of the $B\to D^{(*)}$ transferred…

The decays $\bar{B} \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau$ are good probes to new physics beyond the Standard Model. The ratios of branching fractions $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv \mathit{BF}(\bar{B} \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau) /…
The BaBar Collaboration has recently reported the measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \tau^{-} \bar{\nu_\tau}$ to $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \ell^{-} \bar{\nu_\ell}$ which deviates from the Standard Model…

We measure the branching fractions for the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*+} e^{-} \bar{\nu}_e$ and $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*+} \mu^{-} \bar{\nu}_\mu$ using $8.70 \pm 0.09~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB…
The Belle II experiment will measure the rare decays $B\to K\nu\nu$ and $B\to K^* \nu\nu$ with increased sensitivity which can hence be expected to serve as a very efficient probe of new physics. We calculate the relevant branching ratios…
An excess in the branching fraction for $B^+ \to K^+ \nu\nu$ recently measured at Belle II may be a hint of new physics. We perform thorough likelihood analyses for different new physics scenarios such as $B \to KX$ with a new invisible…
We study the decays $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ in light of the available data from BABAR, Belle and LHCb. We divide our analysis into two parts: in one part we fit the form-factors in these decays directly from the data without adding…
The existence of New Physics particles can be probed by performing precision measurements of physics phenomena at the few GeV energy scale. The decays of B and D mesons are an excellent example of relatively low energy phenomena that can be…
The most recent measurements of the observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are in tension with the Standard Model offering hints of New Physics in $b\rightarrow c \ell \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ transitions. Motivated by these results, in this work we present an…
Rare decays mediated by $b \to s \nu \bar \nu$ transitions have been reported by the Belle II experiment. The branching ratio of the decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar \nu$ is found to be enhanced with respect to the standard model value. If taken…
We apply the formalism of amplitude symmetries to the angular distribution of the decays $B \to D^* \ell \nu$ for $\ell=e,\mu,\tau$. We show that the angular observables used to describe the distribution of this class of decays are not…
The Belle-II experiment has recently measured $\mathcal{B}(B^+\to K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$, which appears to be almost $3\sigma$ larger than its Standard Model (SM) prediction. In this talk, I will critically revisit the status of the SM…
