We study the effects of the identical leptons in the final state of the $B^+\to \ell^+ \ell^- \ell^+\bar\nu_{\ell}$ decay. The amplitude of the process is described by the same form factors as the amplitude of the ${B\to \ell \ell…

We propose to investigate the effects of new physics in the semi-leptonic sequential decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c (\to \Lambda \pi) \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$. Firstly, we write the general, model independent, non-covariant expression of the…

We study the decays $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ in light of the available data from BABAR, Belle and LHCb. We divide our analysis into two parts: in one part we fit the form-factors in these decays directly from the data without adding…
$B$ decays proceeding via $b\to c\ell\nu$ transitions with $\ell=e$ or $\mu$ are tree-level processes in the Standard Model. They are used to measure the CKM element $V_{cb}$, as such forming an important ingredient in the determination of…
At Moriond 2019, Belle collaboration has announced new measurements on the flavour ratios $R_D - R_{D^*}$ which are consistent with their Standard Model predictions within $1.2\sigma$. After inclusion of these measurements, the global…
This article summarizes recent developments in $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu$ decays. We explain how to extract the tau lepton's production properties from the kinematics of its decay products. The focus is on hadronic tau decays, which are most…
