Description

Semileptonic b-hadron decays proceed via charged-current weak interactions and provide a powerful laboratory for precision tests of the Standard Model. Their experimental reach benefits from large branching fractions and clean signatures, while theoretical interpretations rely on increasingly robust determinations of the relevant hadronic form factors. Measurements of these modes constrain key Standard Model parameters and dynamics, including CKM matrix elements and b-hadron production properties. This contribution presents a selection of recent LHCb results on charged-current semileptonic b-hadron decays and highlights their impact on current phenomenology.
