$B$ processes are a rich source of potential anomalies that could lead to the discovery of BSM physics. The long-standing tension between the inclusive and the exclusive determinations of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{xb}|$, or the current…
In the last ten years there has been great progress in calculations of decays of $B$ and $D$ mesons, and baryons containing a heavy $b$ or $c$ quark. One propelling factor has been the measurement of several anomalies in $b\to s$ and $b\to…

Semileptonic $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ decays provide an alternative $b$-decay channel to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, and to obtain a $R$-ratio to investigate lepton-flavor-universality violations. Results for the CKM matrix…
Three recent measurements of leptonic and semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons are presented here. All results use the full Belle II Run 1 $e^+e^- \to \Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ dataset of 365 fb$^{-1}$. We present one leptonic $B$ decay…
