Some long-standing problems in the experimental data for semileptonic b -> c l nu decay rates have resisted attempts to resolve them, despite substantial efforts. We summarize the issues, and propose a possible resolution, which may alleviate several of these tensions simultaneously, including the "1/2 vs. 3/2 puzzle" and the composition of the inclusive decay rate in terms of exclusive channels.

  1. Extracting production fractions of $b$ hadrons from exclusive semi-leptonic decays

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A method to extract fs/fd and similar ratios from exclusive semi-leptonic B decays yields a 7% uncertainty constraint using existing measurements.

  2. Closing the knowledge gap in semileptonic $B\rightarrow X_c\ell\nu$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The unmeasured fraction of inclusive semileptonic B to charm decays is dominated by final states without D mesons, likely from baryons and Ds mesons.
