Abstract

Recent experimental results for the ratio of the branching fractions of B → D(*)τντ and B→ D(*) μνμ decays came as a surprise and lead to a discussion of possibility to constraining new physics through these modes. Here we focus on Br(B → D τντ)/Br(B → D μνμ) and argue that the result is consistent with the Standard Model within 2 σ and that the test of compatibility of this ratio with the Standard Model can be done experimentally with a minimal theory input. We also show that these two decay channels can provide us with quite good constraints of the new physics couplings.
