Heavy Quarks & Leptons
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...

Heavy Quarks & Leptons
Semileptonic B meson decays, B ➞ X l ν, are currently the preferred modes for determining the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements |Vcb| and |Vub|, two fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. At the same time they can also be used to test and refine the theoretical tools used for describing B mesons and their decays. Based on the large data sample accumulated by the Belle...

Heavy Quarks & Leptons
Based on the psi(3770) -> DDbar data accumulated at the BESIII experiment, we present studies of D0 -> K- e+ nu and D0 -> pi0 e+ nu decays which include preliminary results of B(D0 -> K- e+ nu) , B(D0 -> pi- e+ nu), as well as the partial decay rates of these decays in q^2 bins. The measured partial decay rates, in return, allow us to determine different parameterizations of the form factors....
