As an update to our previous calculation for spin $J\leq2$, we present the angular moments for exclusive $\overline{B} \to X_J \ell_1 \ell_2$, where $\ell_1$ is a charged massless lepton and $\ell_2$ is a charged or neutral massless lepton,…
We study the differential decay rate for the rare decay $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda(1520)(\to NK)\ell^+\ell^-$ where $\ell$ is a light lepton, as this decay mode can provide new and complementary constraints on the Wilson coefficients in $b\to…
A number of recent experimental measurements suggest the possibility of a breakdown of lepton ($\ell$) universality in exclusive $b \to c \ell \nu_\ell$ semileptonic meson decays. We analyze the full differential decay rates for several…

We derive the four-fold angular distribution for the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}\to D_2^*(\to D \pi)\,\ell \bar{\nu}$ where $D_2^*$(2460) is a tensor meson. We start with the most general beyond the Standard Model (SM) dimension-six…
We present a simple approach to the study of semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays based on the angular distributions of the final state particles only. Our approach is model independent and never requires the knowledge of $\vert…
We study the effects of the identical leptons in the final state of the $B^+\to \ell^+ \ell^- \ell^+\bar\nu_{\ell}$ decay. The amplitude of the process is described by the same form factors as the amplitude of the ${B\to \ell \ell…
We study the differential decay rate for the rare $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda (\to N \pi)\ell^+\ell^-$ transition, including a determination of the complete angular distribution, assuming unpolarized $\Lambda_b$ baryons. On the basis of a…
We present a measurement of moments of the inclusive hadronic-mass and -energy spectrum in semileptonic $\bar{B} \to X_{c} \ell^{-} \bar{\nu}$ decays. This study is based on a sample of 232 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays…
Rare semileptonic $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions provide some of the most promising frameworks to search for new physics effects. Recent analyses of these decays have indicated an anomalous behaviour in measurements of angular…
This article analyses the available inputs in $\btopilnu$ and $\btorholnu$ decays which include the measured values of differential rate in different $q^2$-bins (lepton invariant mass spectrum), lattice, and the newly available inputs on…
We calculate the independent helicity amplitudes in the decays $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to \rho \ell \nu_\ell$ in the so-called Large-Energy-Effective-Theory (LEET). Taking into account the dominant $O(\alpha_s)$ and SU(3)…
I review the phenomenology of exclusive Bbar -> Kbar pi l^+ l^- decays, with focus on the intermediate resonant Kbar^*(892) mode. The status of angular observables at both ends of the dilepton mass spectrum is revisited. Constraints on the…
Very compelling deviations in the recently observed lepton nonuniversality observables $\big (R_{D^{(*)}}, R_{K^{(*)}}, R_{J/\psi} \big )$ of semileptonic $B$ meson decays from their Standard Model predictions hint towards the presence of…
Deviations from the standard model prediction have been reported in various semileptonic $B$ decays mediated via $b \to c$ charged current interactions. In this context, we analyze semileptonic baryon decays $\Xi_b \to \Xi_c\,\tau\,\nu$…
The independent helicity amplitudes in the (Lambda_b -> \Lambda l^+ l^-) decay in the standard model and its minimal extension, i.e., with the new vector type interactions, are calculated. We calculate various asymmetry parameters…
Strong interactions are addressed in connection to extracting |V_{cb}| and determining heavy quark parameters. A comprehensive approach allows a robust analysis not relying on a 1/m_c expansion; a percent defendable accuracy in |V_{cb}|…
We consider the exclusive decays $B \to D^{(*)}\,\ell \bar\nu$ and study the effect of non $V-A$ structures on the observables. We extend the standard model hadronic current by additional right-handed vector as well as left- and…
