Title: Form factor ratios for B s K ν and B s D s ν semileptonic decays and | V u b / V c b |

Journal Article · · Physical Review. D.

We present a lattice quantum chromodynamics determination of the ratio of the scalar and vector form factors for two semileptonic decays of the B s meson: $$B_s$$ → $Kℓν$ and $$B_s$$ → $$D_sℓν$$. In conjunction with future experimental data, our results for these correlated form factors will provide a new method to extract $$|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$$, which may elucidate the current tension between exclusive and inclusive determinations of these Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix parameters. In addition to the form factor results, we determine the ratio of the differential decay rates, and forward-backward and polarization asymmetries, for the two decays.
