In this work, we derive the form factors and compute the branching fractions for the semitauonic decay modes, $B \to D^{(*)}\,\tau\,\nu_{\tau}$, $B_s \to D_s^{(*)}\,\tau\,\nu_{\tau}$, $B_c \to \eta_c\,(J/\psi)\,\tau\,\nu_{\tau}$, and $B_c…
The decays $\bar{B} \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau$ are good probes to new physics beyond the Standard Model. The ratios of branching fractions $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv \mathit{BF}(\bar{B} \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau) /…
It is experimentally observed that ratios of branching fractions for semitauonic and semileptonic $B$ decays, known as the $R(D^{(*)})$, are higher than Standard Model (SM) predictions. The $B \to \bar{D}^{(*)} \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ decays,…

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…
Among (semi)leptonic rare $B$-decays induced by the $b \to d$ flavor changing neutral current, the decay $B^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^+ \mu^-$ is the only one observed so far experimentally. Related decays involving the $e^+e^-$ and $\tau^+ \tau^-$…

In this work, we revisit the possible new physics (NP) solutions by analyzing the observables associated with $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ decays. To explore the structure of new physics, the form factors of $B\to D^{(\ast)}$…
The ratio of the measured $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\ell\bar{\nu}$ decay rates for $\ell = \tau$ vs. $e,\mu$ deviate from the Standard Model (SM) by about $4\sigma$. We show that the data are in tension with the SM, independent of form factor…
