Abstract

The current world averages of the ratios RD()R_{D^{(*)}} are about 4σ4\sigma away from their Standard Model prediction. These measurements indicate towards the violation of lepton flavor universality in bclνˉb\rightarrow c\,l\,\bar{\nu} decay. The different new physics operators, which can explain the RD()R_{D^{(*)}} measurements, have been identified previously. We show that a simultaneous measurement of the polarization fractions of τ\tau and DD^* and the angular asymmetries AFBA_{FB} and ALTA_{LT} in BDτνˉB\rightarrow D^*\tau\bar{\nu} decay can distinguish all the new physics amplitudes and hence uniquely identify the Lorentz structure of new physics.
