In view of new precise measurements of the $\bar B\to D^*\ell \bar\nu$ decay rate near zero recoil, we reconsider the theoretical uncertainties in the extraction of $| V_{cb}|$ using heavy quark symmetry. In particular, we combine our…
The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ is extracted from exclusive semileptonic $B \to D^{(*)}$ decays adopting a novel unitarity-based approach which allows to determine in a full non-perturbative way the relevant…
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]…
Recent progress in determination of $|V_{cb}|$ within the heavy quark expansion is reported. Both exclusive and inclusive approaches are discussed.
It has been proposed to determine the CKM matrix element |V_ub| in a model-independent way from a combination of rare and semileptonic B and D decays near the zero recoil point. An essential ingredient in such a determination is a heavy…
We provide upper and lower bounds on the semileptonic weak decay form factors for $B \to D^(*)$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to second order…
We point out that current experimental data for partial B --> pi l nu branching fractions reduce the theoretical input required for a precise extraction of |V_ub| to the form factor normalization at a single value of the pion energy. We…
We fit the unfolded data of $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow D^{*+} \ell \overline{\nu}$ from the Belle experiment, where $\ell \equiv e, \mu$, using a method independent of heavy quark symmetry to extrapolate to zero-recoil and extract the value of…
We examine the B -> D* form factor at zero recoil using a continuum QCD approach rooted in the heavy quark sum rules framework. A refined evaluation of the radiative corrections as well as the most recent estimates of higher order power…
I discuss the theoretical uncertainties in the extraction of $|\,V_{cb}|$ from a measurement of the $\bar B\to D^*\ell\,\bar\nu$ decay rate close to zero recoil. In particular, I combine previous estimates of the $1/m_Q^2$ corrections to…
In the framework of a relativistic covariant Bethe-Salpeter model for the quark-antiquark system we present a renewed determination of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$. Complementing an earlier analysis applied to the…
A preliminary measurement of |Vcb| and the branching fraction BR(B0 -> D* l nu_l) has been performed based on a sample of about 55,700 B0 -> D* l nu_l decays recorded with the BaBar detector. The decays are identified in the D* -> D0 pi…
We provide upper and lower bounds on the form factors for B -> D, D^* by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to leading order in Lambda_QCD/m_Q and alpha_s. The O(alpha_s^2 beta_0)…
I discuss the theoretical uncertainties in the extraction of $|\,V_{cb}|$ from semilep\-to\-nic decays of $B$ mesons, taking into account the most recent theoretical developments. The main sources of uncertainty are identified both for the…
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the form factor for B-> D* l nu with three flavors of sea quarks. We use an improved staggered action for the light valence and sea quarks (the MILC configurations), and the Fermilab action…
Dispersive constraints on the shape of the form factors which describe the exclusive decays B -> D^(*) l nu are derived by fully exploiting spin symmetry in the ground-state doublet of heavy-light mesons. The analysis includes all twenty…
Using HISQ $N_f=2+1+1$ MILC ensembles with five different values of the lattice spacing, including four ensembles with physical quark masses, we have performed the most precise computation to date of the $K\to\pi\ell\nu$ vector form factor…
We present an updated determination of the values of $\vert V_{cb} \vert$, $R(D^*)$ and $\vert V_{ub} \vert/\vert V_{cb} \vert$ based on the new data on semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays by the Belle and Belle-II Collaborations…
We consider the small velocity sum rules for heavy flavour semileptonic transitions that are used to estimate the zero recoil values of semileptonic heavy flavour form factors. We analyze the complete O($\alpha _S$) radiative correction to…
In this note we report some model-independent bounds involving transition form factors for $ \Omb \rightarrow \Omc $ and $ \Omb \rightarrow \Omc ^* $ and the nonperturbative matrix elements of the $ \Omb $ system. They are derived by using…
