Description
"We investigate the $|V_{cb}|$ determinations from exclusive semi-leptonic $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}\ell\bar\nu$ decays, together with comprehensive Bayesian fit analyses of the $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}$ transition form-factors, by taking into account recent updates of experimental distribution data and theoretical evaluations. Several commonly adopted form-factor parameterizations, including BSZ, BGL and HQET, have been considered under different fit scenarios.
We compare the fitted values and study how the $|V_{cb}|$ determinations depend on the form-factor parameterizations and on the treatment of the experimental inputs. We also consider new-physics effects that can contribute to $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}\ell\bar\nu$ behind the $|V_{cb}|$ determinations."
