We calculate the inclusive charmless semileptonic decay width of the B meson using a QCD-based approach. This approach is able to account for both dynamic and kinematic effects of nonperturbative QCD. The charmless semileptonic decay width…
The hadronic form factors of $B_c$ semileptonic decays to the $P-$wave charmonium 4-plet can be expressed near the zero-recoil point in terms of universal functions, performing a systematic expansion in QCD in the relative velocity of the…
We explore semileptonic $B$ decays to the four lightest excited charm mesons, $D^{**} = \{D_0^*,\, D_1^*,$ $D_1,\, D_2^*\}$, for nonzero charged lepton mass and for all $b\to c \ell\bar\nu$ four-Fermi interactions, including calculation of…
Leptonic and semi-leptonic $D$ decays at BESIII contribute the most precise experimental measurement of $|V_{cs(d)}|$ and form factor $f_{D_{(s)}}$ in the world based on 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ and 3.19 fb$^{-1}$ data taken at center-of-mass…
Perturbative and nonperturbative QCD corrections to semileptonic B decay rates are calculated and given in analytical and numerical forms. We present the analytic expression for the double distribution in hadronic mass and electron energy…
We use a multiply-subtracted Omnes dispersion relation for the form factor f^+ in B->pi semileptonic decay, allowing the direct input of experimental and theoretical information to constrain its dependence on q^2. Apart from these inputs we…
The determination of |Vub| from inclusive semileptonic B decays is limited by uncertainties in modelling the decay distributions in b->ulnu transitions. The largest uncertainties arise from the limited knowledge of the appropriate b quark…
In this work, we discuss exclusive semileptonic $B_c$-meson decays: $B_c\to \eta_c(J/\psi)l\nu$ and $B_c\to D(D^*)l\nu$ in the framework of the relativistic independent quark(RIQ) model based on an average flavor independent confining…
We present a QCD-based approach to the endpoint region of the lepton spectrum in $\bar B\to X_u\,\ell\,\bar\nu$ decays. We introduce a genuinely nonperturbative form factor, the shape function, which describes the fall-off of the spectrum…
It is shown that measuring the lepton invariant mass spectrum in inclusive semileptonic B -> X_u l nu decay yields a model independent determination of |V_{ub}|. Unlike the lepton energy and hadronic invariant mass spectra, nonperturbative…
Recently, several indications of lepton non-universality observables have been perceived in semileptonic $B$ meson decay processes, both in the neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) and charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) transitions.…
Ratios of charmed meson and baryon semileptonic decay rates appear to be satisfactorily described by considering only the lowest-lying (S-wave) hadronic final states and assuming the kinematic factor describing phase space suppression is…
The propagation of excitation modes in a relativistic ultradegenerate plasma is modified by their interactions with the medium. These modifications can be computed by evaluating their on-shell self-energy, which gives (gauge-independent)…
Semileptonic $\Lambda_b$ decays are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach and the quark-diquark picture of baryons. The decay form factors are expressed through the overlap…
We present an analysis of the composition of inclusive semileptonic B meson decays using 9.4/fb of e+ e- data taken with the CLEO detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. In addition to measuring the charged lepton kinematics, the neutrino…
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…
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…
A precise determination of |V_{ub}| can be obtained exploiting the sum rule for inclusive charmless semileptonic B-meson decays. The sum rule is derived on the basis of light-cone expansion and b-flavored quantum number conservation. The…
We present an application of the unitarity-based dispersion matrix (DM) approach to the extraction of the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ from the experimental data on the exclusive semileptonic $B_{(s)} \to D_{(s)}^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell$…
We resum to next-to-leading order (NLO) the distribution in the light-cone momentum p+ = EX - |pX| and the spectrum in the electron energy, in the semileptonic decays B-> Xu l nu, where EX and pX are the total energy and three-momentum of…
