Abstract

In this paper we study the semileptonic decays of . We firstly evaluate the transition form factors , , and by employing the pQCD factorization approach, and then we calculate the branching ratios for all considered semileptonic decays. Based on the numerical results and the phenomenological analysis, we find that: (a) the pQCD predictions for the values of the and transition form factors agree well with those obtained by using other methods; (b) the pQCD predictions for the branching ratios of the considered decays are , , , and ; and (c) we also define and calculate two ratios of the branching ratios and , which will be tested by LHCb and the forthcoming Super-B experiments.
