We study inclusive semileptonic $\bar{B}\to X_c \ell \bar{\nu}$ decays ($\ell = e,\mu$) in the presence of generic physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) that is heavy compared to the $b$-quark mass. Its effect is encoded in the Wilson…
Exclusive semileptonic B decays into $D_1$ and $D_2^*$ mesons are investigated including order $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_{c,b}$ corrections using the heavy quark effective theory. At zero recoil, the $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_{c,b}$ corrections can be…
Analytic formulae for the one-loop order QCD corrections to the differential width of the semileptonic b decay are given with the tau polarization taken into account. Thence the polarization of tau is expressed by its energy and the…
We develop a method to compute inclusive semi-leptonic decay rate of hadrons fully non-perturbatively using lattice QCD simulations. The sum over all possible final states is achieved by a calculation of the forward-scattering matrix…
We propose a model independent method to determine $|V_{ub}|$ from the energy spectrum of the charged lepton in inclusive semileptonic $B$ decays. The method includes perturbative QCD corrections as well as nonperturbative ones.
We study inclusive semi-leptonic (B -> X_c \ell \nu) decay using the power counting m_c ~ \sqrt{Lambda_{QCD} m_b}. Assuming this scaling for the charm-quark mass, the decay kinematics can be chosen to access the shape-function region even…
In this paper, the semileptonic decays of heavy mesons are treated fully relativistically. By means of an effective vertex, the effect of Fermi momentum are included both at the inclusive and at the exclusive levels, and the spin of both…
Normalizing the recent LHCb measurement of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau \bar\nu$ to the standard model (SM) prediction for the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \mu \bar\nu$ rate, instead of a LEP measurement, provides a more consistent comparison…
We study the exclusive leptonic and semileptonic $B$ decays $B \to \ell^- \bar\nu$ and $B \to D^{(\ast)} \ell^-\bar\nu$ in the framework of the covariant quark model with built-in infrared confinement. We compute the relevant form factors…
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…
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…
We present a QCD-based approach to the endpoint region of the lepton spectrum in $\bar B\to X_u\,\ell\,\bar\nu$ decays. We introduce a genuinely nonperturbative form factor, the shape function, which describes the fall-off of the spectrum…
We extend the Standard Model (SM) analysis of Ref. [1], which was limited to light leptons in the final state, to the semileptonic $B \to D^* \tau \nu_\tau$ decay. By using quantities that can be analised without the knowledge of $\vert…
We study the inclusive semileptonic B decays in the parton model. The model gives a decay spectrum which is in excellent agreement with experiment and makes several predictions to be tested in the forseeable future.
