Testing leptoquark models in $bar B to D^{(*)} tau bar u$

We study potential New Physics effects in the $bar B to D^{(*)} tau bar u$ decays. As a particular example of New Physics models we consider the class of leptoquark models and put the constraints on the leptoquark couplings using the recently measured ratios $R(D^{(*)})=BR(bar B to D^{(*)} tau bar u)/BR(bar B to D^{(*)} mu bar u)$. For consistency, some of the constraints are compared with the ones coming from the current experimental bound on $BR(B to X_s u bar u)$. In order to discriminate various New Physics scenarios, we examine the correlations between different observables that can be measured in future.
