Abstract: The Standard model's predictions for the rates for $B\to D^{*} \tau\nu_\tau$ and $B\to D\tau\nu_\tau$ differ from the experimental results.The difference might be accounted by the presence of new physics.The understanding of the non-perturbative QCD dynamics in the mesontransitions is crucial in order to refine the searches for new physicseffects. We give short introduction to heavy quark effective theory(HQET) and then investigate the most general set of lowest dimensionaleffective operators leading to helicity suppressed modifications of$b\to c$ (semi)leptonic transitions. The contributions of these operatorsto $B\to D^{(*)} \tau \nu_\tau$ decay amplitudes can be found by determiningthe differential decay rate, longitudinal $D^*$ polarization fraction,$D^*- \tau$ opening angle asymmetry and the $\tau$ helicity asymmetry.We identify the size of possible new physics contributions constrainedby the present $ B\to D^{(*)} \tau \nu_\tau$ rate measurements andfind significant modifications are still possible in all these observables.Then we discuss few models of new physics scenarios which can contributein both decay modes.T = Lectures on new physics searches in $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu_\tau$
