We derive the expressions for the full angular distributions of $\bar B\to D\ell\bar \nu_\ell$ and $\bar B\to D^{\ast }\ell\bar \nu_\ell$ decays and discuss the spectra on each angle separately. The coefficient functions, depending on…
Besides being important to determine Standard Model parameters such as the CKM matrix elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$, semileptonic $B$ decays seem also promising to reveal new physics (NP) phenomena, in particular in connection with the…
The study of $\bar{B} \to D^* \tau {\bar{\nu}}_\tau$ angular distribution can be used to obtain information about new physics (or beyond the Standard Model) couplings, which are motivated by various $B$ anomalies. However, the inability to…
We study the four-fold angular distribution of the semileptonic $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^{+}(\to \Lambda \pi^{+})\ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ decay and find out analytical expressions for various asymmetric and angular observables in the…
We revisit the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda_c^+ \ell^-\bar\nu$ ($\ell = e,\mu,\tau$) with a subsequent two-body decay $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda^0 \pi^+$ in the Standard Model and in generic New Physics models. The decay's joint…
We investigate the angular decay distribution of the four-fold $B_{c}\to D^{\ast}_{s}(\to D_{s}\gamma)\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, and $B_{c}\to D^{\ast}_{s}(\to D_{s}\pi)\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decays that proceed through $b\to s\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ quark level…
We study the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}_s \to K^{*+} \ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$, which is induced by $b\to u \ell^- \bar\nu_\ell$ transitions at the quark level. We take into account the standard model (SM) operator from $W$-boson exchange as…
We apply the general formalism derived in N. Penalva et al. [Phys. Rev. D 101, 113004 (2020)] to the semileptonic decay of pseudoscalar mesons containing a $b$ quark. While present $B\to D^{(*)}$ data give the strongest evidence in favor of…
At the present time, there are hints of new physics (NP) in several observables involving $b \to c \ell^- {\bar\nu}_\ell$ decays. In this talk, I describe measurable angular distributions for ${\bar B} \to D^* \mu^- {\bar\nu}_\mu$ and…
Recent measurements of the lepton flavor universality ratios $R^{\mu e}_{K}$ and $R^{\mu e}_{K^*}$ in $B\to \left(K, K^*\right)\mu^{+}\mu^{-}\left(e^+e^-\right)$ at LHCb align with the Standard Model predictions, necessitating search for…
We apply the formalism of amplitude symmetries to the angular distribution of the decays $B \to D^* \ell \nu$ for $\ell=e,\mu,\tau$. We show that the angular observables used to describe the distribution of this class of decays are not…
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…
In anticipation of abundant $B^*$ data samples at high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments in the future, the tree-dominated semileptonic $\bar{B}^*_{u,d,s} \to P \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ $(P=D\,,D_s\,,\pi\,,K)$ decays are studied within the…
We present a simple approach to the study of semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays based on the angular distributions of the final state particles only. Our approach is model independent and never requires the knowledge of $\vert…
Recently, several indications of lepton non-universality observables have been perceived in semileptonic $B$ meson decay processes, both in the neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) and charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) transitions.…
The latest BaBar measurements of the ratios ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})=\displaystyle{\frac{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \tau {\bar \nu}_\tau)}{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \mu {\bar \nu}_\mu)}}$ deviate from the Standard Model predictions at the global level…
We make predictions and propose tests for the semi-leptonic decays $B\to D^{(*)} l \bar{\nu}_l$ and $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda_c l \bar{\nu}_l$, with $l$ = $e$, $\mu$ and $\tau$. Preliminarily, we study such processes according to the $\ell-s$…
Exclusive semileptonic decays based on $b\to s$ transitions have been attracting a lot of attention as some angular observables deviate significantly from the Standard Model (SM) predictions in specific $q^2$ bins. B meson decays induced by…
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…
We perform a study of the $B^{(*)}$, $D^{(*)}$ semileptonic decays, using a different method than in conventional approaches, where the matrix elements of the weak operators are evaluated and a detailed spin-angular momentum algebra is…
