Angular observables in B→D(*)ℓν decays can distinguish Lorentz structures of new physics contributions fitted to measured R(D(*)) ratios, even when those ratios agree with the Standard Model.

abstract
We discuss the impact of the recent untagged analysis of ${B}^0\rightarrow D^{*}l\bar{\nu}_l$ decays by the Belle Collaboration on the extraction of the CKM element $|V_{cb}|$ and provide updated SM predictions for the $b\to c\tau\nu$ observables $R(D^*)$, $P_\tau$, and $F_L^{D^*}$. The value of $|V_{cb}|$ that we find is about $2\sigma$ from the one from inclusive semileptonic $B$ decays, and is very sensitive to the slope of the form factor at zero recoil which should soon become available from lattice calculations.

A combined fit to B to D(*) l nu data yields R^{±0}=1.062(19) as evidence for isospin violation in Υ(4S) decays and branching fractions up to 1.6σ larger than prior averages, addressing inconsistencies in V_cb extractions.
A 10 TeV lepton collider using the effective gamma-W to W process could improve m_W precision beyond 10 MeV and extract CKM elements like V_cb with reduced hadronic uncertainties via high-precision hadronic calorimetry and flavor tagging.
