Abstract

A summary of WG II of the CKM 2018 conference on semileptonic and leptonic b-hadron decays is presented. This includes discussions on the CKM matrix element magitudes |V_ub| and |V_cb|, lepton universality tests such as R(D^*) and leptonic decays. As is usual for semileptonic and leptonic decays, much discussion is devoted towards the interplay between theoretical QCD calculations and the experimental measurements.
