abstract
We present a method for parametrizing heavy meson semileptonic form factors using dispersion relations, and from it produce a two-parameter description of the B -> B elastic form factor. We use heavy quark symmetry to relate this function to B->D* l \nu form factors, and extract |V_{cb}|=0.037^{+0.003}_{-0.002} from experimental data with a least squares fit. Our method eliminates model-dependent uncertainties inherent in choosing a parametrization for the extrapolation of the differential decay rate to threshold. The method also allows a description of B -> D l nu form factors accurate to 1% in terms of two parameters.

Reviews unitarity bounds for B-meson form factors, shows standard methods apply rigorously only to B→π, develops GG parametrization for general cases, and delivers combined-analysis predictions with public supplementary material.
A twist-6 light-cone QCD sum-rule calculation of B_d → Λ + dark antibaryon excludes dark masses around 2.8–3.6 GeV and leaves a surviving window at 4.108–4.164 GeV near the kinematic endpoint.
Computes pQCD form factors for B_c to D(*) transitions via lattice inputs and heavy quark symmetry, then predicts branching fractions and angular observables for semileptonic and rare dilepton decays.
Joint Bayesian fit of lattice form factors and Belle angular data gives |V_cb| = 0.03997(71) in the SM with no resolution of the exclusive-inclusive puzzle and excludes scalar leptoquark NP at 1.0 TeV and vector leptoquark at 2.5 TeV at 68% CL.
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.
