Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson to charmonium and D mesons are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The decay form factors are explicitly expressed through the overlap integrals of the meson wave…
Form factors relevant for semi-leptonic $B\to D,\ D^*$ decays are obtained in quenched lattice QCD. Tests of heavy-quark symmetry as well as determinations of the Isgur-Wise function and $|V_{cb}|$ are presented.
Since the degree of polarization of the vector particle in semileptonic decay strongly influences the decay width of the particles, it can be used as a measure of CKM matrix elements. We show that |V_{cb}| can be determined from the…

Semileptonic ${B}$ meson decays involving low-mass charged leptons ${e}$ or ${\mu}$ are expected to be free of non-Standard Model contributions and therefore play a critical role in determinations of ${\vert V_{ub} \vert}$ and ${\vert…
