Recently, the BaBar collaboration reported first evidence for new physics in B->D\tau\nu and B->D*\tau\nu. Combining both processes the significance is 3.4\sigma. This result cannot be explained in a two Higgs doublet model of type II. Furthermore, the CKMfitter group finds a 2.9\sigma discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction for Br[B->\tau\nu] (using Vub from a global fit to the unitary triangle) and the measurements of the B factories. Altogether, these measurements are strong…

A Complete Framework for Tau Polarimetry in $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ Decays

The meson decays $B\to D\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^* \tau \nu$ are sensitive probes of the $b\to c\tau\nu$ transition. In this work we present a complete framework to obtain the maximum information on the…

Looking for possible new physics in B →D (*) τ ν τ in light of recent data

We study the decays $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ in light of the available data from BABAR, Belle and LHCb. We divide our analysis into two parts: in one part we fit the form-factors in these…

$b \to c\tau\bar\nu$ decays in supersymmetry with $R$-parity violation.

In the past few years, several hints of lepton flavour universality (LFU) violation have emerged in the $b \to c \tau \bar\nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ data. Quite recently, the Belle…

Charged Higgs: Interpretation of $B$-physics results

In these proceedings we review the impact of additional Higgs bosons on $B$ physics observables. For this purpose, we consider first the 2HDM of type II which respects natural flavour conservation.…
