We briefly summarize up-to-date results on the determination of the parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$, which play an important role in the unitarity triangle and in testing the Standard Model, and…
We scrutinize the recently further strengthened hints for new physics in semileptonic $B$-meson decays, focusing on the 'clean' ratios of branching fractions $R_K$ and $R_{K^\ast}$ and examining to which pattern of new effects they point…
We present allowed regions in the space of observables of certain non-leptonic B-meson decays that characterize these modes within the Standard Model. A future measurement of observables lying significantly outside of these regions would…
Two-body non-leptonic decays of B mesons into PT and VT modes are calculated using the non-relativistic quark model of Isgur et al.. The predictions obtained for $B \to \pi D^*_2, \rho D_2^*$ are a factor of $3\sim 5$ below present…
We have tried to measure $|V_{ub}|$ using inclusive semileptonic decay measurements with three different methods. The full reconstruction tag is the one of the most feasible method to measure inclusive process. Semileptonic $B\to…
We compute the differential momentum correlation function for hadrons produced in the decay of $B$-mesons. This measure of hadronic event shapes tests the free $b$-quark decay picture for nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of $B$-mesons.…
Recent measurements of semileptonic $B$-meson decays into $\tau$-leptons are somewhat higher than expected in the standard model. Although the deviations are less than 3$\sigma$, they suggest the possibility of new physics affecting…

Sum rules originally derived for the M\"ossbauer Effect are applied to weak semileptonic B decays. The sum rules follow from assuming that the decay by electroweak boson emission of an unstable nucleus or heavy quark in a bound system is…
Leptonic decays of $B$-mesons are theoretically very clean probes for testing the Standard Model (SM) and possible physics beyond it. Amongst the various leptonic decays of the $B$-meson, the pure dileptonic decay $B \to \ell^+ \ell^-$ is…

Semi-leptonic $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ and $B_s \to D_s \ell \nu$ decays provide an alternative $b$-decay channel to determine the CKM matrix elements $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ or to obtain $R$-ratios to investigate lepton flavor universality…
An event sample enriched in semileptonic decays of b hadrons is selected using an inclusive lepton selection from approximately 3.0 million hadronic Z^0 decays collected with the OPAL detector. This sample is used to investigate B meson…
A wealth of new physics models which are motivated by questions such as the nature of dark matter, the origin of the neutrino masses and the baryon asymmetry in the universe, predict the existence of hidden sectors featuring new particles.…
