We present an analysis of exclusive charmless semileptonic B-meson decays based on 377 million BBbar pairs recorded with the BABAR detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We select four event samples corresponding to the decay modes B0 -->…
In this contribution we compute some nonleptonic and semileptonic decay widths of $B_s$ mesons, working in the context of constituent quark models \cite{Albertus:2014gba, Albertus:2014bfa}. For the case of semileptonic decays we consider…

The rate of the semileptonic decay b to c l v is calculated with order alphas^2 accuracy, as an expansion around the limit of equal masses of the b and c quarks. Recent results obtained around the limit of the c-quark much lighter than b…
