Description
The search for new physics (NP) involving semileptonic $b$-hadron decays requires large, dedicated Monte Carlo data sets, in order to properly model acceptance and selection efficiencies. We present the Hammer reweighting tool, developed for and in conjunction with the LHCb and Belle II experiments, that makes use of an efficient event and histogram reweighting strategy, permitting computationally inexpensive exploration of NP effects in the fully differential phase space. The Hammer approach also permits study of the effects of different choices for hadronic form-factor parametrizations, crucial for the measurement of the CKM elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ In this talk we show various example applications of this tool, both for NP and CKM matrix studies.
