We review the recent results on D and D_s meson semileptonic decays from CLEO-c, BABAR, and Belle. Comparisons with lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) calculations and implications for B physics are also discussed.
Motivated by recent experimental results we reconsider semileptonic D to P l nu_l and D to V l nu_l decays within a model which combines heavy quark symmetry and properties of the chiral Lagrangian. Using limits of soft collinear effective…

We search for signals of Weak Annihilation in inclusive semileptonic D decays. We consider both the widths and the lepton energy moments, which are quite sensitive probes. Our analysis of Cleo data shows no clear evidence of Weak…
