Exclusive decays $B \to \ell^-\barν$ and $B \to D^{(\ast)}\ell^-\barν$ in the covariant quark model

We study the exclusive leptonic and semileptonic $B$ decays $B \to \ell^- \barν$ and $B \to D^{(\ast)} \ell^-\barν$ in the framework of the covariant quark model with built-in infrared confinement. We compute the relevant form factors in the full kinematical momentum transfer region. The calculated form factors are used to evaluate branching fractions and polarization observables of the above transitions. We compare our results with experimental data and results from other theoretical studies.
