We evaluate the form factors describing the semileptonic decays $\bar{B^0}\to J/\psi (\eta_c) D^+ \ell^- \bar \nu_\ell$, within the framework of a QCD relativistic potential model. This decay is complementary to $\bar{B^0}\to J/\psi…
A recent combination of measurements performed by the LHCb collaboration determined that $\gamma=(63.8^{+3.5}_{-3.7})^\circ$. The fit combined the results of $\gamma$ and charm measurements, which resulted in precision improvements for the…
I report results from the CLEO collaboration on semileptonic B decays, highlighting measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements |Vub| and |Vcb|. I describe the techniques used to obtain the recent improvements in precision…

In this talk, I present new results from CLEO on charm and bottom hadrons. Most of the talk will be on the issue of the B semileptonic branching fraction, its connection to the number of charm quarks produced in the decay of a b quark, and…

Recently it was noticed that among many scenarios of new physics leptoquarks might compensate for the disagreement between the lattice and experimental results for the charmed strange meson decay constant. The leptoquarks might modify also…
The measured $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} l \bar\nu$ decay rates for light leptons ($l=e,\mu$) constrain all $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ semileptonic form factors, by including both the leading and ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b})$ subleading…
The LHCb experiment has collected the world's largest sample of charmed hadrons. This sample is used to measure observables related to $D^0 -\overline{D}^0$ mixing, direct $C\!P$ violation and $C\!P$ violation in mixing and interference in…
The LHCb collaboration has very recently released a new study of $B^+ \to K^{+} \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to K^{*0} \ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell = e,\mu$) decays, testing lepton universality with unprecedented accuracy using the whole Run 1 and 2…
Moments of the hadronic invariant mass and of the lepton energy spectra in semileptonic B decays have been determined with the data recorded by the DELPHI detector at LEP. From measurements of the inclusive b-hadron semileptonic decays, and…

Recent $p_{\rm T}$-integrated cross section measurements of the ground-state charm mesons and baryons, D$^{\rm 0}$, D$^+$, D$_{\rm s}^{+}$, $\Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}$, and $\Xi_{\rm c}^0$, are used to evaluate the charm fragmentation fractions…
In light of the large amount of new experimental data, we revisit the determination of V_{cb} and m_b from inclusive semileptonic and radiative B decays. We study shape variables to order lqcd^3/m_b^3 and alpha_s^2\beta_0, and include the…
We provide general effective-theory arguments relating present-day discrepancies in semi-leptonic $B$-meson decays to signals in kaon physics, in particular lepton-flavour violating ones of the kind $K \to (\pi) e^\pm \mu^\mp$. We show that…
We consider the isospin breaking corrections to charmless semileptonic decays of B mesons. Both, the recently measured branching ratios of exclusive decays by the CLEO Collaboration and the end-point reion of the inclusive lepton spectrum…
The Standard Model (SM) predicts the universality of lepton couplings with the electroweak gauge bosons. Semileptonic decays of $b$-hadrons provide a powerful framework for testing the SM and probing possible New Physics effects. In…
