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.

$b \to c$ semileptonic sum rule: orbitally excited hadrons

hep-ph · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Sum rules for b→cτν transitions to orbitally excited charm hadrons show larger deviations from heavy quark symmetry than ground states, with tensor effects often sizable, but current form factor uncertainties prevent robust lepton-universality predictions.
