Challenges in Semileptonic B Decays
read the original abstract
Two of the elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix, $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$, are extracted from semileptonic B decays. The results of the B factories, analysed in the light of the most recent theoretical calculations, remain puzzling, because for both $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ the exclusive and inclusive determinations are in clear tension. Further, measurements in the $\tau$ channels at Belle, Babar, and LHCb show discrepancies with the Standard Model predictions, pointing to a possible violation of lepton flavor universality. LHCb and Belle II have the potential to resolve these issues in the next few years. This article summarizes the discussions and results obtained at the MITP workshop held on April 9--13, 2018, in Mainz, Germany, with the goal to develop a medium-term strategy of analyses and calculations aimed at solving the puzzles. Lattice and continuum theorists working together with experimentalists have discussed how to reshape the semileptonic analyses in view of the much higher luminosity expected at Belle II, searching for ways to systematically validate the theoretical predictions in both exclusive and inclusive B decays, and to exploit the rich possibilities at LHCb.

Inclusive $\bar B_s\mapsto X_{\bar sc} \ell \bar \nu$ decays from lattice QCD: computational strategy and a first physical result
Lattice QCD strategy interpolates sub-physical mass data with OPE to obtain the inclusive anti-B_s to X_sc l nu decay rate, yielding 7% precision on limited ETMC ensembles via a new four-point correlator method.

Hunting for new physics in $B$ meson $b \to u$ transitions: A fresh look with Belle II data
Combined Belle II analysis of b→uℓν modes favors Re(ε_μ^{2})≠0 at 2σ while yielding |V_ub|=(3.79±0.17)×10^{-3} in a global NP fit.

Semileptonic $B_q$ decays to heavy tensor mesons
Form factors for B_q to J^P=2^+ tensor meson semileptonic decays are computed via light-cone QCD sum rules with external B state, yielding SM decay rates and LFU test ratios.

$|V_{cb}|$ determinations from $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)} \ell \bar\nu$ decays within the SM and beyond
Fits to B to D(*) l nu form factors with BSZ, BGL and HQET yield |V_cb| matching PDG average for BGL but smaller for HQET, while data still allows non-zero new physics contributions.
