In this article we investigate the correlations between tauonic $B$ meson decays (e.g. $B\to \tau\nu$, $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$, $B\to \pi\tau\nu$) and electric dipole moments (EDMs), in particular the one of the neutron, in the context of the…
Semileptonic $B_{(s)}$ decays are of great phenomenological interest because they allow to extract CKM matrix elements or test lepton flavour universality. Taking advantage of existing data, we explore extracting form factors for vector…

Form factors parameterizing the semileptonic decay $B_{c}\rightarrow D_{s}^{\ast}l^{+}l^{-}$ ($l=\mu ,\tau $) are calculated using the frame work of Ward Identities. These form factors are then used to calculate the physical observables…
We compute the differential momentum correlation function for hadrons produced in the decay of $B$-mesons. This measure of hadronic event shapes tests the free $b$-quark decay picture for nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of $B$-mesons.…
The semileptonic decays of $B_q$ mesons ($q=u,d,s$) to $J^P=2^+$ charmed mesons are investigated. The form factors parametrising the hadronic matrix elements of the weak vector and axial-vector quark currents are evaluated using light-cone…
The BaBar measurements of the ratios ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})=\frac{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \tau {\bar \nu}_\tau)}{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \mu {\bar \nu}_\mu)}$ deviate from the standard model expectation, while new results on the purely leptonic…
In the Standard Model, scalar contributions to leptonic and semileptonic decays are helicity suppressed. The hypothesis of additional physical neutral/charged Higgses can enhance such scalar contributions and give detectable effects…
