The $B$ meson semileptonic modes to $\rho(770)$ and $a_1 (1260)$ are useful to pin down possible non Standard Model effects. The 4d differential $\bar B \to \rho(\pi \pi) \ell^- \bar \nu_\ell$ and $ \bar B \to a_1 (\rho \pi) \ell^- \bar…

Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $2.93\,\rm fb^{-1}$ taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773\,GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we perform an analysis of the semi-leptonic decays…

The $R(D^{(*)})$ puzzle stands for a $\sim3\sigma$ violation of lepton flavor universality between the decay rates of $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu$, where $\ell=e,\mu$. If it is accounted for by new physics, there is no…

In this paper, we studied the semileptonic decays $B \to D^{(*)} l^- \bar{\nu}_l$ by using the "pQCD+Lattice QCD" method. We made the extrapolation for the six relevant form factors by using the input values obtained from the pQCD…

We update the branching ratios for the inclusive decays $B\to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and the exclusive decays $B\to (K,K^*) \ell^+ \ell^-$, with $\ell=e, \m$, in the standard model by including the explicit $O(\a_s)$ and $\Lambda_{\hbox{\tiny…

First observations and measurements of the branching fractions of the $\bar{B}_s^0\to D^+D^-$, $\bar{B}_s^0\to D_s^+D^-$ and $\bar{B}_s^0\to D^0\bar{D}^0$ decays are presented using 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the LHCb experiment.…

The deviation of the measurement of $R_{D}$ ($R_{D^{*}}$) from the Standard Model (SM) expectation is $2.3\sigma$ ($3.1\sigma$). $R_{D}$ ($R_{D^{*}}$) is the ratio of the branching fraction of $\overline{B} \rightarrow…

The BaBar measurements of the ratios ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})=\frac{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \tau {\bar \nu}_\tau)}{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \mu {\bar \nu}_\mu)}$ deviate from the standard model expectation, while new results on the purely leptonic…

We study the semileptonic decays of $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda(n)\ell^+ \nu_{\ell}$ in two relativistic dynamical approaches of the light-front constituent quark model (LFCQM) and MIT bag model (MBM). By considering the Fermi statistic…

The experimental results on the ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})/{\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^*) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D^* \tau^-…

In the framework of the Standard Model we present new theoretical predictions for the branching ratios, double and single differential distributions and forward -- backward leptonic asymmetries for the $\bar B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^- e^+ e^-$…

By analysing 6.1 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at center-of-mass energies between $\sqrt{s}=4.600$ and 4.843 $\rm GeV$ with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we observe the decay $\Lambda_c^+\to n\pi^+\eta$ for the first time…

The flavor anomalies reported in $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, $P_{5}^{\prime}$ and $\mathcal{B}(B_s\, \to\, \phi\, \mu^+\, \mu^-)$ indicate lepton flavor universality violation in $b \to s\,l^+\,l^-$ quark level transition decays. The deviation from…

The rare decay $B^0_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ plays a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. It is pointed out that the sizable decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the $B_s$-meson system affects this channel in a subtle way. As a…

Recently several new bounds of the lepton flavor violating decays of the neutral vector mesons $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon(nS)$ are reported from the experiments. In the work, we analyze these processes in the scenario of the minimal R-symmetric…

Lepton flavor universality can be tested through the ratio of semileptonic $B$ meson decays and leptonic $\Upsilon$ meson decays, with $\Upsilon \equiv \Upsilon(nS)$ ($n=1,2,3$). For the charged-current transitions $b \to…

The baryonic $b\to s$ transition $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^{(*)}\nu{\bar\nu}$ is analyzed. We combine the mesonic counterpart $B^+\to K^+\nu{\bar\nu}$ and $B^0\to K^{*0}\nu{\bar\nu}$ as well as other observables involving $B$ mesons like…
