Unbinned Angular Analysis of $B\to D^{\ast }(D\pi )\ell {\nu }_{\ell }$ and $C_{V_R}$

Abstract

A sensitivity study of the unbinned angular analysis of the $B\to D^{\ast }(D\pi )\ell {\nu }_{\ell }$ decay is presented. In the analysis, it is shown that the Wilson coefficient of the right-handed vector current, $C_{V_R}$, can be measured to precision of 2-4$\%$ using either the full set of normalised angular observables or the forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$ of the charged lepton in 10 $w$ bins. Such angular measurements are independent of the $V_{cb}$ puzzle.
