Description
An interesting possibility to ease the tension between various determinations of |Vub| allows a small right-handed contribution to the Standard Model weak current. The current bounds on such a contribution are fairly weak. We propose new ways to search for such a beyond Standard Model contribution in the semileptonic B -> ρ l ν decay. We suggest to use generalized asymmetries in one, two, or three angular variables as discriminators, which do not require measuring the fully differential distribution, and discuss its theoretical uncertainties. We discuss how binned measurements can access all the angular information, which may be more important for B -> ρ l ν than it is for B -> K* l+ l-. We explore the achievable sensitivity both from the available BaBar and Belle data sets, as well as from the anticipated 50 ab^-1 Belle II data.
