In light of prospects for measurements of $B_c \rightarrow D^{(\ast)} l \nu$ decays in the upcoming Upgrade II of the LHC, we show that by using calculated $B_c \rightarrow D^{(\ast)}$ form factors competitive extraction of the $|V_{ub}|$…
Semileptonic $\bar{B}$ decays to $DX\ell\bar{\nu}$ ($\ell=e$ or $mu$) are selected by reconstructing $D0\ell$ and $D^+\ell$ combinations from a sample of 230 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays recorded with the BaBar detector at the…
The CKM matrix element $|V_{us}|$ can be extracted from the experimental measurement of semileptonic $K\to\pi$ decays. The determination depends on theory input for the corresponding vector form factor in QCD. We present a preliminary…
We investigate the weak semileptonic decay of the $ \Omega^{+}_{ccb} \rightarrow \Xi^{++}_{cc} ~{\ell}\bar\nu_{\ell}$, where a triply heavy baryon with spin 1/2 decays into the observed doubly heavy baryon with spin 1/2, using QCD sum rule…
We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons…
The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $\vert V_{ub}\vert$ is obtained from exclusive semileptonic $B \to \pi \ell \nu_\ell$ and $B_s \to K \ell \nu_\ell$ decays adopting the unitarity-based dispersion matrix approach for the…
Using the standard parametrization of the dipole form, we have studied the vulnerability of $Q^2$ on the vector form factors ($f_i^{B_iB_f}(Q^2)$) and axial-vector form factors ($g_i^{B_iB_f}(Q^2)$), $i=1,2,3$ computed for the semileptonic…
We investigate the semileptonic hyperon decays within the framework of the self-consistent SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model ($\chi$QSM). We take linear $1/N_c$ rotational as well as linear $m_s$ corrections into account and apply the…
We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_ub|, based on 253 fb^-1 of data collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e^+e^- asymmetric collider. Events are tagged by fully reconstructing one of the B…
Model-independent bounds are presented for the form-factors describing the semileptonic decay $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_ce\bar\nu_e$ at the end-point of the lepton energy spectrum. For the axial-vector form-factor $f_1^A(1)$ we obtain…
We calculate semileptonic decays of light and heavy baryons in a relativistically covariant constituent quark model. The model is based on the Bethe-Salpeter-equation in instantaneous approximation. It generates satisfactory mass spectra…
We report on the current status of semi-leptonic $B_{(s)}$ decays, including rare decays, and the extraction of the absolute values of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$.
We present a determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements $|V_{cd}|$ and $|V_{cs}|$ obtained by combining the momentum dependence of the semileptonic vector form factors $f_+^{D \to \pi}(q^2)$ and $f_+^{D \to K}(q^2)$,…
In the last ten years there has been great progress in calculations of decays of $B$ and $D$ mesons, and baryons containing a heavy $b$ or $c$ quark. One propelling factor has been the measurement of several anomalies in $b\to s$ and $b\to…
Presented are selected results of semileptonic B decays at BaBar. Two measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ are reported. One using moments of the hadronic-mass spectrum in inclusive $\bar{B} \to X_{c}…

We present lattice results for the form factors relevant in the K -> pion and D -> pion semileptonic decays, obtained from simulations with two flavors of dynamical twisted-mass fermions and pion masses as light as 260 MeV. For K -> pion…
We analyze the semileptonic rare decays of $B$ meson to $K_{1} (1270)$ and $K_{1} (1400)$ axial vector mesons. The $B\to K_{1} (1270,1400) \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays are significant flavor changing neutral current decays of the $B$ meson. These…
Pion beta decay, $\pi^+\to \pi^0 e^+\nu(\gamma)$, provides a theoretically clean $\pm 0.3\%$ determination of the CKM matrix element $V_{\text{ud}}$. That value falls short of super-allowed nuclear beta decays where an order of magnitude…
