abstract
We present an analysis of the exclusive semileptonic decay $B\to D^\ast \ell\bar\nu_\ell$ based on the Belle and Belle II data made public in 2023, combined with recent lattice-QCD calculations of the hadronic transition form factors by FNAL/MILC, HPQCD and JLQCD. We also consider a new combination of the Belle and Belle II data sets by HFLAV. The analysis is based on the form-factor parameterisation by Boyd-Grinstein-Lebed (BGL), using Bayesian and frequentist statistics, for which we discuss novel strategies. We compare the results of an analysis where the BGL parameterisation is fit only to the lattice data with those from a simultaneous fit to lattice and experiment, and discuss the resulting predictions for the CKM-matrix element $V_{cb}$, as well as other phenomenological observables, such as $R^{\tau/\mu}(D^\ast)$. We find tensions when comparing analyses based on different combinations of experimental or theoretical input, requiring the introduction of a systematic error for some of our results.

On the EFT validity for Drell-Yan tails at the LHC
For t-channel mediators such as the U1 leptoquark, Drell-Yan EFT bounds are accurate at the 10% level for masses above about 1.5 TeV when the series is truncated at amplitude level, while s-channel mediators need E mu...

$V_{cb}$ puzzle in semi-leptonic $B\to D^*$ decays revisited
Using the latest Belle and Belle II data, CLN, BGL, and HQET fits give consistent exclusive |Vcb| values near 39.7 times 10^-3, confirming the persistent 2 to 3 sigma gap with the inclusive value.

Constraints on lepton-flavor mixing with third-generation new physics
The U(2)_ℓ-breaking spurion δ is constrained to |δ| < 0.051 (95% CL) by R_K(*) and B_s→μμ data, with derived upper limits for LFV τ and B decays.

Truncation orders, external constraints, and the determination of $|V_{cb}|$
Applying AIC model selection, and especially global AIC model averaging, to BGL truncation order selection yields unbiased |V_cb| estimates with correct coverage in toy studies.
