R(D^*), |V_(cb)|, and the Heavy Quark Symmetry relations between form factors
read the original abstract
Stringent relations between the $B^{(*)} \to D^{(*)} $ form factors exist in the heavy quark limit and the leading symmetry breaking corrections are known. We reconsider their uncertainty and role in the analysis of recent Belle data for $B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu$ with model-independent parametrizations and in the related prediction of $R(D^{(*)})$. We find $|V_{cb}|=41.5(1.3) \ 10^{-3}$ and $|V_{cb}|=40.6(^{+1.2}_{-1.3}) \ 10^{-3}$ using input from Light Cone Sum Rules, and $R(D^{*})=0.260(8)$.
