$R_{D^{(*)}}$ is the ratio of branching ratio $\overline{B} \rightarrow D^{(*)}\tau\overline{\nu}_{\tau}$ to $\overline{B} \rightarrow D^{(*)}l\overline{\nu}_{l}~(l=e,~\mu)$. There is a gap of 2$\sigma_{exp}$ or more between its…

We reassess the $B\to\pi\ell\nu_{\ell}$ differential branching ratio distribution experimental data released by the BaBar and Belle Collaborations supplemented with all lattice calculations of the $B\to\pi$ form factor shape available up to…

The meson decays $B\to D\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^* \tau \nu$ are sensitive probes of the $b\to c\tau\nu$ transition. In this work we present a complete framework to obtain the maximum information on the physics of $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ with…

We present a search for the decay $B^{-} \to \tau^{-} \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ in a sample of $88.9 \times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs recorded with the BaBar detector at the SLAC $B$-Factory. One of the two $B$ mesons from the $\Upsilon(4S)$ is…

We present a search for the decay $B^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ using 288 fb-1 of data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II $B$-Factory. A sample of events with one reconstructed…

While the factorization assumption works well for many two-body nonleptonic $B$ meson decay modes, the recent measurement of $\bar B\to D^{(*)0}M^0$ with $M=\pi$, $\rho$ and $\omega$ shows large deviation from this assumption. We analyze…

Very compelling deviations in the recently observed lepton nonuniversality observables $\big (R_{D^{(*)}}, R_{K^{(*)}}, R_{J/\psi} \big )$ of semileptonic $B$ meson decays from their Standard Model predictions hint towards the presence of…

The first observation of the $B_s^0 \to \overline{D}^{*0} \phi$ decay is reported, with a significance of more than seven standard deviations, from an analysis of $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$,…

The most recent measurements of the observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are in tension with the Standard Model offering hints of New Physics in $b\rightarrow c \ell \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ transitions. Motivated by these results, in this work we present an…

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…

The $D^+_s\to K^+K^-\mu^+\nu_\mu$ decay is studied based on 7.33 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies in the range from 4.128 to 4.226 GeV. The absolute branching fraction is…

The current world averages of the ratios $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are about $4\sigma$ away from their Standard Model prediction. These measurements indicate towards the violation of lepton flavor universality in $b\rightarrow c\,l\,\bar{\nu}$ decay.…

Using about 3.9 million hadronic Z decays from e+e- collisions recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies near MZ the branching ratio for the decay D_s -> tau nu_tau has been measured to be (7.0 +/- 2.1(stat) +/- 2.0…

We measure $C\!P$ asymmetries and branching-fraction ratios for $B^\pm \to DK^\pm$ and $D\pi^\pm$ decays with $D\to K^0_{\rm S} K^\pm\pi^\mp$, where $D$ is a superposition of $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$. We use the full data set of the Belle…

During the past few years, hints of Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) violation have been observed in $b \to c \tau \bar\nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions. Recently, the $D^*$ and $\tau$ polarization fractions $P_L^{D^*}$ and…

Recently LHCb has measured the branching ratio of the rare decay of $B_s^0\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- $ as $2.9^{+1.1}_{-1.0} \times10^{-9}$ which is at par with the predicted standard model (SM) value. This result does not predict the absence…

Recent measurements of exclusive $B^{-} \to \tau^{-}\,\nu$ and $B^0 \to \pi^{+}\,l^{-}\,\bar{\nu}_l$ decays via the $b \to u\,l\,\nu$ transition process differ from the standard model expectation and, if they persist in future $B$…
