The universality of the weak interactions can be tested in semileptonic $b \to c$ transitions, and in particular in the ratios $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv \Gamma(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau \nu )/\Gamma(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \ell \nu )$ (where $\ell…
The semi-leptonic $b \to c l \nu$ processes are receiving a lot of attention, as the lepton flavor universality violation has been hinted by the measured ratios $R_{D^{(*)}} = \Gamma(B \to D^{(*)} \tau\nu)/\Gamma(B \to D^{(*)} \ell\nu)$ for…
The most recent measurements of the observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are in tension with the Standard Model offering hints of New Physics in $b\rightarrow c \ell \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ transitions. Motivated by these results, in this work we present an…
We explain recent LHCb measurements of the lepton universality ratios, $R_{D^{(*)}}^{\tau/\ell}\equiv \frac{\mathcal{B}(\bar B \to D^{(*)+} \tau^- \bar\nu_\tau)} {\mathcal{B}(\bar B \to D^{(*)+}\ell^- \bar\nu_\ell)}$ and…
Tests of lepton flavour universality in charged-current $B$ decays offer an excellent opportunity to test the Standard Model, and show hints of new physics in analyses performed by the LHCb, Belle and BaBar experiments. These proceedings…
There are discrepancies between the experimental results and the Standard Model predictions, in the lepton flavor universality of the semileptonic $B$ decays: $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu$. As the new physics interpretations, new charged vector…
The latest BaBar measurements of the ratios ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})=\displaystyle{\frac{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \tau {\bar \nu}_\tau)}{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \mu {\bar \nu}_\mu)}}$ deviate from the Standard Model predictions at the global level…
Tests of lepton-universality as rate ratios in $b\to s \ell\ell$ transitions can be predicted very accurately in the Standard Model. The deficits with respect to expectations reported by the LHCb experiment in muon-to-electron ratios of the…
We report measurements of the ratios of branching fractions ${\cal R}(D^{(*)+}) = \frac{{\cal B}(\overline{B}{}^0 \to D^{(*)+} \,\tau^- \, \overline{\nu}_\tau)}{{\cal B}(\overline{B}{}^0 \to D^{(*)+} \, \ell^- \, \overline{\nu}_\ell)}$,…
Recently hints of lepton flavor non-universality emerged when the BaBar Collaboration observed deviations from the standard model predictions in $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv {\cal B}({\bar B} \to D^{(*)+} \tau^- {\bar\nu}_\tau) / {\cal B}({\bar B}…
The semileptonic decay channel B -> D tau nu is sensitive to the presence of a scalar current, such as that mediated by a charged-Higgs boson. Recently the BaBar experiment reported the first observation of the exclusive semileptonic decay…
We consider the recent LHCb result for $B_c\to J/\psi \tau \nu$ in conjunction with the existing anomalies in $R(D)$ and $R(D^\star)$ within the framework of a right-handed current with enhanced couplings to the third generation. The model…
The experimental results on the ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})/{\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^*) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D^* \tau^-…
Deviation from the standard model prediction is observed in many semileptonic $B$ decays mediated via $b \to c$ charged current interactions. In particular, current experimental measurements of the ratio of branching ratio $R_D$ and…
Measurements of the ratio of $B \to K^* \mu \mu $ to $B \to K^* e e $ branching fractions, $R_{K^*}$, by the LHCb collaboration strengthen the hints from previous studies with pseudoscalar kaons, $R_K$, for the breakdown of lepton…
Recent measurements of semileptonic B-meson decays seemingly imply violations of lepton flavor universality beyond the Standard Model predictions. With three-level explanations based on extended Higgs sectors being strongly challenged by…
The BaBar measurements of the ratios ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})=\frac{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \tau {\bar \nu}_\tau)}{{\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} \mu {\bar \nu}_\mu)}$ deviate from the standard model expectation, while new results on the purely leptonic…
The observable $\mathcal{R} \left( D^{(*)} \right) = \mathcal{B}\left( B^{0}\to D^{(*)-} \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau} \right) / \mathcal{B}\left( B^{0}\to D^{(*)-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu} \right)$ is a probe for Lepton Universality violation, so it is…
Besides being important to determine Standard Model parameters such as the CKM matrix elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$, semileptonic $B$ decays seem also promising to reveal new physics (NP) phenomena, in particular in connection with the…
I discuss recent progress in lattice calculations of $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu$ form factors, important for the precision determination of $|V_{cb}|$ in the Standard Model (SM), and for testing SM expectations of lepton flavor universality in…
