Three recent measurements of leptonic and semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons are presented here. All results use the full Belle II Run 1 $e^+e^- \to \Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ dataset of 365 fb$^{-1}$. We present one leptonic $B$ decay…
The ratio of branching fractions $R(D^{*}) = \mathcal{B}(\overline{B} \rightarrow D^{*} \tau^{-} \overline{\nu}_{\tau})$/$\mathcal{B} (\overline{B} \rightarrow D^{*} \ell^{-} \overline{\nu}_{\ell})$, where $\ell$ is an electron or muon, is…
Experimental measurements of the ratios $R(D^{(*)})\equiv\frac{\Gamma(B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu)}{\Gamma(B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu)}$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) show a $3.9\sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model prediction. In the absence of light right-handed…
We present the analysis technique and preliminary results of two ongoing analyses at CLEO which put lepton universality and lepton flavor conservation to the test in Upsilon decays.
In the Standard Model (SM), the coupling of the electroweak gauge bosons to the leptons is lepton flavour universal. Tests of this property constitute sensitive probes for new physics models that violate lepton flavour universality. Recent…
Data in $B$-meson decays indicate violations of lepton flavour universality, thereby raising the question about such phenomena in the charm sector. We perform a model-independent analysis of NP contributions in (semi)-leptonic decays of…
The observable $\mathcal{R} \left( D^{(*)} \right) = \mathcal{B}\left( B^{0}\to D^{(*)-} \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau} \right) / \mathcal{B}\left( B^{0}\to D^{(*)-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu} \right)$ is a probe for Lepton Universality violation, so it is…
The Belle and Belle II experiments have collected a 1.4 ab$^{-1}$ sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data at centre-of-mass energies near the $\Upsilon (nS)$ resonances, of which 424 fb$^{-1}$ were collected at Belle II in Run1 (2019--2022). We…

Semileptonic charged current $b \to c l^- \overline{\nu}_l$ decays offer a compelling avenue to probe the limits of the Standard Model and investigate lepton flavor universality (LFU). While the SM maintains flavor universality, new physics…
Several measurements on $R_D, R_{D^*}$, and $R_{J/ \psi}$ by the BaBar, Belle, and LHCb experiments show significant deviations from their Standard Model (SM) predictions, which illustrate the fact that the concept of lepton flavor…
The Standard Model predicts that the electroweak couplings to the three charged leptons are identical. However, in the last decade, experimental measurements have suggested that semileptonic processes involving taus could have a slightly…
