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…

We present a model-independent global analysis of hadronic form factors for the semileptonic decays $b\rightarrow c\ell\nu$ that exploits lattice-QCD data, dispersion relations, and heavy-quark symmetries. The analysis yields predictions…

We present a new calculation of the $D \rightarrow \pi, l \nu$ semileptonic form factor $f^{D \rightarrow \pi}_+(q^2)$ at $q^2 = 0$ based on HISQ charm and light valence quarks on MILC $N_f = 2 +1$ lattices. Using methods developed recently…

We extract $|V_{cb}|$ from the available data in the decay $B \to D^{(*)}\ell\nu_{\ell}$. Our analysis uses the $q^2(w)$ binned differential decay rates in different subsamples of $B\to D\ell\nu_\ell$ ($\ell = e, \mu$), while for the decay…

Form factors are crucial theory input in order to extract $|V_{cb}|$ from $B \to D^{(*)}\ell\nu$ decays, to calculate the Standard Model prediction for ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})$ and to assess the impact of New Physics. In this context, the…

In this work we present the first non-perturbative determination of the hadronic susceptibilities that constrain the form factors entering the semileptonic $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell $ transitions due to unitarity and analyticity. The…

We re-examine the determination of $|V_{cb}|$ from $B\to D \ell \nu$ in view of recent experimental and theoretical progress, discussing the parameterization of the form factors and studying the role played by the unitarity constraints. Our…

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…

We have analyzed the semileptonic decays $B\rightarrow D\ell\nu$ and $B\rightarrow D^*\ell\nu$ on the full suite of MILC (2+1)-flavor asqtad ensembles with lattice spacings as small as 0.045 fm and light-to-strange-quark mass ratios as low…

We evaluate the decay constants for the B and $D$ mesons and the form factors for the semileptonic decays of the B meson to $D$ and $D^*$ mesons in a Bethe-Salpeter model. From data we extract $V_{cb}=0.039 \pm 0.002$ from ${\bar B} \to D^*…

In this contribution we analyse the heavy-to-light $B$ decays through the Dispersive Matrix method, which can be applied to any semileptonic decays of hadrons once lattice QCD computations of the hadronic Form Factors and of the relevant…

Based on 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ data taken at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt s=3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we report recent results on the decay constant $f_{D^+}$, the hadronic form factors, as well as the quark mixing matrix elements…

We derive the four-fold angular distribution for the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}\to D_2^*(\to D \pi)\,\ell \bar{\nu}$ where $D_2^*$(2460) is a tensor meson. We start with the most general beyond the Standard Model (SM) dimension-six…

Semileptonic $\bar{B}$ decays to $DX\ell\bar{\nu}$ ($\ell=e$ or $mu$) are selected by reconstructing $D0\ell$ and $D^+\ell$ combinations from a sample of 230 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays recorded with the BaBar detector at the…

We present precision corrections to dispersion relation bounds on form factors in bottom hadron semileptonic decays and analyze their effects on parameterizations derived from these bounds. We incorporate QCD two-loop and nonperturbative…

We present a lattice determination of the vector and scalar form factors of the semileptonic $D \to \pi \ell \nu$ decays, which are relevant for the extraction of the CKM matrix element $\lvert V_{cd} \rvert$ from experimental data. Our…

We investigate the subleading-power corrections to the exclusive $B\to D \ell \nu_\ell$ form factors at ${\cal O} (\alpha_s^0)$ in the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) framework by including the two- and three-particle higher-twist contributions…

The measured partial widths of the semileptonic decays D to K l nu and D to pi l nu can be combined with the form factors calculated on the lattice to extract the CKM matrix elements |V_cs| and |V_cd|. The lattice calculations can be…

We present a new study of D semileptonic decays on the lattice which employs the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action for both the charm and the light valence quarks. We work with MILC unquenched $N_f = 2 + 1$ lattices and…

We present a combined measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ and of the parameters $\rho^2$, $R_1$, and $R_2$, which fully characterize the form factors of the $B^0 \to D^{*-}\ell^{+}\nu_\ell$ decay in the…
