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…
The ratio of branching fractions ${\cal{R}}(D^{*-})\equiv {\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \tau^+ \nu_{\tau})/{\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \mu^+\nu_{\mu})$ is measured using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector at…
We construct a semi-inclusive Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) ratio, $R_\Sigma$, to test $\mu/e$ universality in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions at $e^+e^-$ $B$-meson factories. Combining different decay channels, this observable…
Lepton Flavour Universality tests with semileptonic $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_c^*$ decays are important to corroborate the present anomalies in the similar ratios $R_{D^{(*)}}$, and can provide complementary constraints on possible origins of…
We present a unified analysis of $\overline{B}^0 \to D^{(*)+}\ell^-\bar{\nu}_\ell$ and $\overline{B}^0 \to D^{(*)+}\pi^-$ decays using the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The $B \to D^{(*)}$ transition form factors are calculated at low…
We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the hadronic form factors for $B$-meson semileptonic decays computed using the highly improved staggered quark action for both valence and sea quarks on the MILC collaborations 2+1+1-flavor ensembles…
We present a new method aiming at a non-perturbative, model-independent determination of the momentum dependence of the form factors entering semileptonic decays using unitarity and analyticity constraints. We extend the original proposal…
We calculate form-factor ratios between the semileptonic decays \bar{B}->D^+\ell^-\bar{\nu} and \bar{B}_s->D_s^+\ell^-\bar{\nu} with lattice QCD. These ratios are a key theoretical input in a new strategy to determine the fragmentation…
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 $|V_{ub}|$…
Data in $B$-meson decays indicate violations of lepton flavour universality, thereby raising the question about such phenomena in the charm sector. We perform a model-independent analysis of NP contributions in (semi)-leptonic decays of…
Semileptonic charged current $b \to c l^- \overline{\nu}_l$ decays offer a compelling avenue to probe the limits of the Standard Model and investigate lepton flavor universality (LFU). While the SM maintains flavor universality, new physics…
We present Standard Model predictions for lepton flavour universality ratios of inclusive $B\to X_{(c)} \ell \bar\nu_\ell$. For the $\ell=\mu,e$, these ratios are very close to unity as expected. For the $\tau$ mode, we update the SM…
Among (semi)leptonic rare $B$-decays induced by the $b \to d$ flavor changing neutral current, the decay $B^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^+ \mu^-$ is the only one observed so far experimentally. Related decays involving the $e^+e^-$ and $\tau^+ \tau^-$…
The evidence for Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) violation in semileptonic $B$-decays has been rising over the past few years. Relying on generic effective field theory (EFT) results, it has been shown that models addressing the…
We present updated estimates of $\vert V_{cb} \vert$ and $R(D^{(*)})$ based on all the available theoretical and experimental data on semileptonic $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell$ decays. These values have been obtained by using the Dispersive…
In this work we apply the Dispersive Matrix (DM) method of Refs. [1,2] to the lattice computations of the Form Factors (FFs) entering the semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays, recently produced by the FNAL/MILC Collaborations [3]…
We measure the complete set of angular coefficients $J_i$ for exclusive $\bar{B} \to D^* \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays ($\ell = e, \mu$). Our analysis uses the full $711\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ Belle data set with hadronic tag-side reconstruction.…
We report on our determinations of $B\to \pi\ell\nu$, $B_s\to K \ell \nu$ and $B_s\to D_s \ell \nu$ semileptonic form factors. In addition we discuss the determination of $R$-ratios testing lepton-flavor universality and suggest an improved…
In this paper, we studied the semileptonic decays $B \to D^{(*)} l^- \bar{\nu}_l$ by using the "pQCD+Lattice QCD" method. We made the extrapolation for the six relevant form factors by using the input values obtained from the pQCD…
Semileptonic $B_{(s)}$ decays are of great phenomenological interest because they allow to extract CKM matrix elements or test lepton flavour universality. Taking advantage of existing data, we explore extracting form factors for vector…
