Recent experimental results for the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar \nu_\tau$ and $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\mu\bar \nu_\mu$ decays came as a surprise and lead to a discussion of possibility to constraining New…
The BaBar Collaboration has recently reported the measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \tau^{-} \bar{\nu_\tau}$ to $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \ell^{-} \bar{\nu_\ell}$ which deviates from the Standard Model…
Semileptonic and purely leptonic decays of B meson to $\tau$, such as $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ and $B\to\tau\nu_\tau$ are studied. Recognizing that there already were some weak hints of possible deviations from the SM in the…
Latest measurement of the ratio of branching ratios $R_D = \mathcal B(B \to D\,\tau\,\nu)/\mathcal B(B \to D\,l\,\nu)$ and $R_{D^{\ast}} = \mathcal B(B \to D^{\ast}\,\tau\,\nu)/\mathcal B(B \to D^{\ast}\,l\,\nu)$, where $l$ is either an…
The measurements of several lepton flavor universality (LFU) violating observables in the decays induced by the quark level transition $b \to c \tau \bar{\nu}$ provide an inkling of plausible physics beyond the standard model of electroweak…
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 $B$…
Deviations from the standard model prediction have been observed in several leptonic and semileptonic $B$ meson decays to $\tau\nu$ final states mediated via $b \to u$ and $b \to c$ charged current interactions. The measured value of ratio…
In recent times, the charged-current mediated semileptonic $b \to c \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ processes have attracted a lot of attention after the observation of lepton non-universality ratios, $R_{D^{(*)}}$, $R_{J/\psi}$ and the measurements on…
Deviation from the standard model prediction is observed in many semileptonic $B$ decays mediated via $b \to c$ charged current interactions. In particular, current experimental measurements of the ratio of branching ratio $R_D$ and…
The universality of the weak interactions can be tested in semileptonic $b \to c$ transitions, and in particular in the ratios $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv \Gamma(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau \nu )/\Gamma(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \ell \nu )$ (where $\ell…
The recent Belle and BaBar measurements of the branching ratio of $B^+ \to \tau^+ \nu_\tau$ indicate a significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction. We demonstrate that this measurement has a serious impact on models with…
The recent measurements on $R_D$, $R_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/\psi}$ by three pioneering experiments, BaBar, Belle and LHCb, indicate that the notion of lepton flavour universality is violated in the weak charged-current processes, mediated through…

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…
Motivated by the recent theoretical and experimental developments in $b \to c \ell\nu$ transitions, the aim of these proceedings is to critically analyse the current situation in this sector. In particular, we will inspect the possibility…
We revisit the status of the new-physics interpretations of the anomalies in semileptonic $B$ decays in light of the new data reported by Belle on the lepton-universality ratios $R_{D^{(*)}}$ using the semileptonic tag and on the…
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…
Using a full BABAR data sample of 426 $fb^{-1}$, we present improved measurements of the ratio ${\cal{R}}(D^{(*)}) = {\cal{B}} (\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/$ ${\cal{B}} (\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}\ell_{\ell}^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\ell})$,…
We benefit from a recent lattice determination of the full set of vector, axial and tensor form factors for the $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda^*_c(2595)\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ and $\Lambda^*_c(2625)\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ semileptonic decays to study the…
In recent times, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in semileptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) and neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) transitions. Motivated by these…
