Abstract

The ratios R(D-(*)) = B(B -> D-(*) t (nu) over bar (tau))/B(B -> D-(*) mu(nu) over bar (mu)) measured by BABAR Collaboration deviate from the standard model expectations; at the same time the purely leptonic channel B -> tau(nu) over bar (tau) has been found in better consistency with the standard model. We provide an attempt to reconcile these two experimental facts, within a New Physics Scenario, by adding a tensor operator in the effective weak Hamiltonian. We calculate the effects of such an operator in a set of observables, in semileptonic B -> D-(*) modes as well as in semileptonic B and B-s decays to excited positive parity charmed mesons.
