In addition to the well-known $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell$ decays, semileptonic $B_s \to D_s^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell$ processes offer the possibility to determine the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $\vert V_{cb}\vert$. We…

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 extract $|V_{cb}|$ from the available data in the decay $B \to D^{(*)}\ell\nu_{\ell}$. Our analysis uses the $q^2(w)$ binned differential decay rates in different subsamples of $B\to D\ell\nu_\ell$ ($\ell = e, \mu$), while for the decay…
