We study the semileptonic decays $B_s \to D_s^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}$ as a promising probe for new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). The extension of the SM is done through the introduction of four-fermion operators beyond the $V-A$…
Inclusive semileptonic $B\to X_c \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays, where $\ell = \mu,e$, are by now standard candles in the determination of the CKM element $|V_{cb}|$. These determinations rely on the heavy-quark expansion and use moments of…
We analyze the new physics effects in semileptonic $\bar{B_s} \to K^{*+}(\to K\pi) \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decay induced by the $b \to u \ell \nu_{\ell}$ quark level transition. We consider the vector, scalar and tensor new physics Lorentz…

At present, there are several measurements of $B$ decays that exhibit discrepancies with the predictions of the Standard Model, and suggest the presence of new physics in $b\to s$ and $b \to c(u)$ quark level transitions. Motivated by the…
I present analyses of semileptonic $B_c$ decays. I first discuss the decays induced by $c \to \{s, d \}$ transitions, in particular $B_c \to B_a \, \bar{\ell} \, \nu_\ell$ and $B_c \to B_a^*(\to B_a \, \gamma) \, \bar{\ell} \, \nu_\ell$…
We study the semileptonic decays of the $B_c$ meson into final charmonium states within the standard model and beyond. The relevant hadronic transition form factors are calculated in the framework of the covariant confined quark model…

We address the non-perturbative calculation of the decay rate of inclusive semi-leptonic $B_{(s)}$ mesons decays from lattice QCD. Precise theoretical Standard Model predictions are key ingredients in searches for new physics. This type of…
We study the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}_s \to K^{*+} \ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$, which is induced by $b\to u \ell^- \bar\nu_\ell$ transitions at the quark level. We take into account the standard model (SM) operator from $W$-boson exchange as…
We compute the effects of a finite $W$ boson mass on the inclusive $b\rightarrow c \ell \nu$ decay rate and the semileptonic moments. To this end we keep terms of $\mathcal{O}\left(q^2/m_W^2 \right)$ when integrating out the $W$ boson in…

We present an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within the Standard Model (SM), in a model-independent manner, and in a number of new physics (NP) models. Combining new form factor…
