We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions Β(Λb → Λc+μ-¯νμ)/Β(Λb → Λc+π-) based on 171.5 pb-1 of p¯p collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV taken with the CDF-II detector. In addition, we present measurements of Β(¯Β0 → D*+μ-¯νμ)/Β(¯Β0 → D*+π-) and Β(¯Β0 → D+μ-¯νμ/Β(¯Β0 → D+π-), which serve as control samples to understand the data and Monte Carlo used for the Λb analysis.
