abstract

Recently, several new experimental results of the test of lepton flavor universality (LFU) in $B\to D^{(\ast)}$ semi-leptonic decays were announced: the first result of $R_{D}$ from the LHCb Run 1 data, the first results of $R_{D}$ and $R_{D^\ast}$ from the LHCb Run 2 data, and the first result of $R_{D^\ast}$ from the Belle II collaboration. Including these new data, a global analysis still prefers the violation of the LFU between the tau and light leptons. A new world average of the data from the BaBar, LHCb, Belle, and Belle II collaborations is $R_{D} = 0.342 \pm 0.026$ and $R_{D^{\ast}} = 0.287 \pm 0.012$. Including this new data, we update a circumstance of the $b \to c \tau \overline\nu$ measurements and their implications for new physics (NP). Incorporating recent developments for the $B \to D^{(\ast)}$ form factors in the Standard Model (SM), we observe a $4.4 \sigma$ deviation from the SM prediction. Our updates also include; model-independent NP formulae for the related observables; and the global fittings of parameters for leptoquark scenarios as well as single NP operator scenarios. Furthermore, we show future potential to indirectly distinguish different NP scenarios with the use of the precise measurements of the polarization observables in $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau \overline\nu$ at the Belle II and the high-$p_{\rm T}$ flavored-tail searches at the LHC. We also discuss an impact on the LFU violation in $\Upsilon \to l^+ l^-$.

  1. Search for the $\boldsymbol{B^0 \to K^0_{\rm S} \tau^+ \tau^-}$ decay

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    No evidence is found for B0→K0Sτ+τ−; the first upper limit, B<8.3×10^-4 at 90% CL, is set, and the isospin-combined B→Kτ+τ− limit becomes 5.4×10^-4.

  2. Heavy quark symmetry behind $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rule

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the heavy quark limit, the differential decay rates of B to D, B to D*, and Lambda_b to Lambda_c with tau leptons satisfy an exact sum rule independent of new physics, with corrections quantified for realistic mass...

  3. Flavor Violations in $B$-Mesons within Non-Minimal SU(5)

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A non-minimal SU(5) model with R2 leptoquark and S6 diquark is fitted to B-decay anomalies in b→cτν, B→Kπ, and B→Kνν, but the benchmark B→Kνν rate rises only about 3.5% above the Standard Model.

  4. Joint LHCb--Belle II Prospects to Constrain New Physics in $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$

    hep-ex 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A likelihood-level combined fit of LHCb- and Belle II-like B→D(*)τν data, with shared form-factor nuisance parameters, is more sensitive and less biased than post-fit combinations of independent fits.

  5. Investigation of $\Lambda_c \to (\Lambda,n)\ell^+ \nu_\ell $ Decays in Standard Model and Beyond

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A model-independent analysis of Lambda_c to (Lambda, neutron) l nu decays finds SM rates about 10 percent above experiment and proposes the muon-to-electron forward-backward asymmetry ratio as a robust new physics probe.
