Motivated by the first observation of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_c~\tau\bar{\nu}$ by LHCb, we discuss various observables that can be derived from angular distribution of this decay which, if measured, could be essential for explanation of the…
This article analyses the available inputs in $\btopilnu$ and $\btorholnu$ decays which include the measured values of differential rate in different $q^2$-bins (lepton invariant mass spectrum), lattice, and the newly available inputs on…
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…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
The possibility of a dark sector weakly coupling to Standard Model (SM) particles through new light mediators is explored at the Belle II experiment. We present here results from three different searches, for a long-lived (pseudo)scalar…
Rare semileptonic $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions provide some of the most promising frameworks to search for new physics effects. Recent analyses of these decays have indicated an anomalous behaviour in measurements of angular…
Form factors are crucial theory input in order to extract $|V_{cb}|$ from $B \to D^{(*)}\ell\nu$ decays, to calculate the Standard Model prediction for ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})$ and to assess the impact of New Physics. In this context, the…
The $\bar{B}\to D^{*+} l^-\bar{\nu}_{l}$ branching fraction ratio $R(D^{*})$ has shown intriguing discrepancies between the Standard Model prediction and measurements performed at BaBar, Belle and LHCb experiments, a possible sign of beyond…
We present recent measurements of semileptonic $B$-meson decays using a data sample collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance by the Belle II experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $189\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. We determine the…
We present a feasibility study to probe quantum entanglement and Belle inequality violation in the process $\textrm{e}^{+}\textrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 10.579$ GeV. The sensitivity of…
We build a set of new observables using closely related non-leptonic penguin-mediated $B_d$ and $B_s$ decays: ${\bar B}_{d,s}\to K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$, ${\bar B}_{d,s}\to K^{0}\bar{K}^{0}$, ${\bar B}_{d,s}\to K^{0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ and ${\bar…
We report measurements of the charmless semileptonic decays $B^0 \to \pi^- / \rho^- \ell^{+} \nu$ and $B^+ \to \pi^0 / \rho^0 \ell^{+} \nu$, based on a sample of $2.75 \times 10^8$ $B \bar{B}$ events collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$…
Measurements of the branching fractions of the semileptonic decays $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ and $B_c\to J/\psi\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ systematically exceed the Standard Model (SM) predictions, pointing to possible signals of new physics…
Semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons to the tau lepton, despite of experimental difficulties, are of great importance. In particular they are sensitive probes of models with extended Higgs sectors. The results of studies of semitauonic B…
The experimental results on the ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})/{\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^*) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D^* \tau^-…
In this work we consider the implications of current $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell=e,\,\mu$) measurements on several $B \to K^* \tau^+ \tau^-$ observables under the assumption that the possible new physics can have both universal as well…
The discovery of New Physics, using weak decays of mesons is difficult due to intractable strong interaction effects needed to describe it. We show how the multitude of "related observables" obtained from B\to K^* \ell^+\ell^-, can provide…
Experimental studies of B -> D^(*) tau nu decays, are reported. The results are based on large data samples collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB and the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric energy…

Semileptonic $b\to c\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ decays are powerful probes of non-Standard-Model effects within an effective-field-theory (EFT) framework, but fully exploiting them in current and future data demands combinations that maximise…
