B: semileptonic decay

$Btopiellell$ form factors for new-physics searches from lattice QCD

The rare decay B→πℓ+ℓ- arises from b→d flavor-changing neutral currents and could be sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. Here, we present the first ab initio QCD calculation of the B→π tensor form factor fT. Together with the vector and …

Refining new-physics searches in $B -textgreater D tau nu$ decay with lattice QCD

The semileptonic decay channel B -textgreater 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 …
