Besides being important to determine Standard Model parameters such as the CKM matrix elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$, semileptonic $B$ decays seem also promising to reveal new physics (NP) phenomena, in particular in connection with the possibility of uncovering lepton flavour universality (LFU) violating effects. In this view, it could be natural to connect the tensions in the inclusive versus exclusive determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ to the anomalies in the ratios $R(D^{(*)})$ of decay rates into $tau$ vs $mu, e$. However, the question has been raised about the role of the parametrization of the hadronic $B to D^{(*)}$ form factors in exclusive $B$ decay modes. We focus on the fully differential angular distributions of $bar B to D^* ell^-{bar u}_ell$ with $D^* to D pi$ or $D^* to D gamma$, the latter mode being important in the case of $B_s to D_s^*$ decays. We show that the angular coefficients in the distributions can be used to scrutinize the role of the form factor parametrization and to pin down deviations from SM. As an example of a NP scenario, we include a tensor operator in the $b to c$ semileptonic effective Hamiltonian, and discuss how the angular coefficients allow to construct observables sensitive to this structure, also defining ratios useful to test LFU.

We report measurements of the $bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} ell^{-} bar{ u}_l$ and $B^- to D^{0} ell^{-} bar{ u}_l$ processes using 34.6 fb$^{-1}$ of collision events recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. Fo r the $B^-to D^{0}ell^-bar u_ell$ channel, we present first studies that isolate this decay from other semileptonic processes and backgrounds. We report a measurement of the $bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} ell^{-} bar{ u}_l$ branching fraction and obtain ${cal B}(bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} ell^{-} bar{ u}_l) = left(4.60 pm 0.05_{mathrm{stat}}pm0.17_{mathrm{syst}} pm 0.45_{pi_s}right) %$, in agreement with the world average. Here, the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and related to slow pion reconstruction, respectively. The systematic uncertainties are limited by the statistics of auxiliary measurements and will improve in the future. We also report differential branching fractions in five bins of the hadronic recoil parameter $w$ for $bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} ell^{-} bar{ u}_l$, unfolded to account for resolution and efficiency effects.
In this work, we preform a systematic investigation about hidden heavy and doubly heavy molecular states from the $D^{(*)}bar{D}^{(*)}/B^{(*)}bar{B}^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}/bar{B}^{(*)}bar{B}^{(*)}$ interactions in the quasipotential Bethe-Salpete r equation (qBSE) approach. With the help of the Lagrangians with heavy quark and chiral symmetries, interaction potentials are constructed within the one-boson-exchange model in which we include the $pi$, $eta$, $rho$, $omega$ and $sigma$ exchanges, as well as $J/psi$ or $Upsilon$ exchange. Possible bound states from the interactions considered are searched for as the pole of scattering amplitude. The results suggest that experimentally observed states, $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_c(4020)$, $Z_b(10610)$, and $Z_b(10650)$, can be related to the $Dbar{D}^{*}$, $D^*bar{D}^{*}$, $Bbar{B}^{*}$, and $B^*bar{B}^{*}$ interactions with quantum numbers $I^G(J^P)=1^+(1^{+})$, respectively. The $Dbar{D}^{*}$ interaction is also attractive enough to produce a pole with $0^+(0^+)$ which is related to the $X(3872)$. Within the same theoretical frame, the existence of $Dbar{D}$ and $Bbar{B}$ molecular states with $0(0^+)$ are predicted. The possible $D^*bar{D}^*$ molecular states with $0(0^+, 1^+, 2^+)$ and $1(0^+)$ and their bottom partners are also suggested by the calculation. In the doubly heavy sector, no bound state is produced from the $DD/bar{B}bar{B}$ interaction while a bound state is found with $0(1^+)$ from $DD^*/bar{B}bar{B}^*$ interaction. The $D^*D^*/bar{B}^*bar{B}^*$ interaction produces three molecular states with $0(1^+)$, $0(2^+)$ and $1(2^+)$.
We evaluate long-distance electromagnetic (QED) contributions to $bar{B}{}^0 to D^+ tau^{-} bar{ u}_{tau}$ and $B^- to D^0 tau^{-} bar{ u}_{tau}$ relative to $bar{B}{}^0 to D^+ mu^{-} bar{ u}_{mu}$ and $B^- to D^0 mu^{-} bar{ u}_{mu}$, respectively, in the standard model. We point out that the QED corrections to the ratios $R(D^{+})$ and $R(D^{0})$ are not negligible, contrary to the expectation that radiative corrections are almost canceled out in the ratio of the two branching fractions. The reason is that long-distance QED corrections depend on the masses and relative velocities of the daughter particles. We find that theoretical predictions for $R(D^{+})^{tau/mu}$ and $R(D^{0})^{tau/mu}$ can be amplified by $sim4%$ and $sim3%$, respectively, for the soft-photon energy cut in range $20$-$40$ MeV.
We measure the branching fractions for the decays $bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} e^{-} bar{ u}_e$ and $bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} mu^{-} bar{ u}_mu$ using $8.70 pm 0.09~{rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e ^-$ collider. Candidate signal decays are reconstructed with the subsequent decays $D^{*+}to D^0 pi^+$ and $D^0to K^-pi^+$. We obtain the results ${cal B}(bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} e^{-} bar{ u}_e)$ = $(4.55pm0.14(mathrm{stat})pm0.35 (mathrm{syst})) %$ and ${cal B}(bar{B}^0 to D^{*+} mu^{-} bar{ u}_mu)$ = $(4.84pm 0.13(mathrm{stat})pm0.37(mathrm{syst})) %$, in agreement with the world averages. The measurements serve to validate the full chain of detector operation and calibration, data collection and processing, and production of physics results in the case of semileptonic $B$-meson decays.
The decays $B_c^+ to B_{a} bar ell u_ell$ and $B_c^+ to B_{a}^{*}(to B_a gamma) bar ell u_ell$, with $a=s,d$ and $ell=e,mu$, are studied in the Standard Model (SM) and in the extension based on the low-energy Hamiltonian comprising the full set of dimension-$6$ semileptonic $c to s,d$ operators with left-handed neutrinos. Tests of $mu/e$ universality are investigated using such modes. The heavy quark spin symmetry is applied to relate the relevant hadronic matrix elements and to exploit lattice QCD results on $B_c$ form factors. Optimized observables are selected, and the pattern of their correlations is studied to identify the effects of the various operators in the extended low-energy Hamiltonian.
