The $B\to D^{(*)} lν_l$ decays in the pQCD approach with the Lattice QCD input

In this paper, we studied the semileptonic decays $B \to D^{(*)} l^- \barν_l$ by using the "pQCD+Lattice QCD" method. We made the extrapolation for the six relevant form factors by using the input values obtained from the pQCD factorization approach in the low $q^2$ region of $0\leq q^2 \leq m_τ^2$, and the Lattice QCD input at the end-point $q^2=q^2_{\rm max}$. We then calculated the ratios $R(D)$ and $R(D^*)$ of the branching ratios ${\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} l^- \barν_l)$, and found numerically that (1) the "pQCD+Lattice QCD" predictions for the branching ratios ${\cal B}(B \to D^{(*)} l^-\barν_l)$ agree well with the measured values within one standard deviation, and (2) the "pQCD+Lattice QCD" predictions for the ratios $R(D^{(*)})$ are $R(D)=0.337^{+0.038}_{-0.037}$ and $R(D^*)=0.269^{+0.021}_{-0.020}$, they agree with the data within $2σ$ deviation, in other words, one can explain the "$R(D^{(*)})$-puzzle" in the framework of the standard model.
