Abstract: (Springer)
We have extracted the ratio |Vub_{ub}|/|Vcb_{cb}| from a combined study of the available inputs on B(π,ρ,ω)ν \overline{B}\to \left(\pi, \rho, \omega \right){\ell}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\ell } and B(Bs)(D(),Ds())ν (=μ or e) \overline{B}\left({\overline{B}}_s\right)\to \left({D}^{\left(\ast \right)},{D}_s^{\left(\ast \right)}\right){\ell}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\ell }\ \left(\ell =\mu\ \textrm{or}\ e\right) decays. We have done our analysis with and without the inclusion of the available experimental results on the branching fraction BR(BsK+μνμ) \mathcal{BR}\left({\overline{B}}_s\to {K}^{+}{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu}\right) or the ratio of the rates Γ(BsK+ν)/Γ(BsDs+ν) \Gamma \left({\overline{B}}_s\to {K}^{+}{\ell}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\ell}\right)/\Gamma \left({\overline{B}}_s\to {D}_s^{+}{\ell}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\ell}\right) . We have used all the available experimental data on the branching fractions in different q2^{2}-bins, the available theory inputs on the form factors from lattice and the light cone sum rule (LCSR) approach; analysed the data in different possible scenarios and presented the results. From a combined analysis of all the b → cℓ^{−}ν_{ℓ} exclusive decays, we have obtained |Vcb_{cb}| = (40.5 ± 0.6) × 103^{−3} and from all the b → uℓ^{−}ν_{ℓ} modes, we obtain |Vub_{ub}| = (3.46 ± 0.12) × 103^{−3} which changes to |Vub_{ub}| = (3.51 ± 0.13) × 103^{−3} after dropping BR(BsK+μνμ) \mathcal{BR}\left({\overline{B}}_s\to {K}^{+}{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu}\right) . We hence report the values of the ratio |Vub_{ub}|/|Vcb_{cb}| = 0.085 ± 0.003 and 0.087 ± 0.003 with and without the input from BsK+μνμ {\overline{B}}_s\to {K}^{+}{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu } modes, respectively. We have also predicted the ratio Γ(BsK+ν)/Γ(BsDs+ν) \Gamma \left({\overline{B}}_s\to {K}^{+}{\ell}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\ell}\right)/\Gamma \left({\overline{B}}_s\to {D}_s^{+}{\ell}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\ell}\right) using the fit results. In addition, we provide the predictions of BR(BsK+μνμ) \mathcal{BR}\left({\overline{B}}_s\to {K}^{+}{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu}\right) and BR(B(ρ,ω)ν) \mathcal{BR}\left(\overline{B}\to \left(\rho, \omega \right){\ell}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\ell}\right) in the Standard Model (SM) in small q2^{2}-bins.
