  "abstract": "We measure the complete set of angular coefficients $J_i$ for exclusive $\\bar{B} \\to D^* \\ell \\bar{\\nu}_\\ell$ decays ($\\ell = e, \\mu$). Our analysis uses the full $711\\,\\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ Belle data set with hadronic tag-side reconstruction. The results allow us to extract the form factors describing the $B \\to D^*$ transition and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{\\rm cb}|$. Using recent lattice QCD calculations for the hadronic form factors, we find $|V_{\\rm cb}| = (41.0 \\pm 0.7) \\times 10^3 $ using the BGL parameterization, compatible with determinations from inclusive semileptonic decays. We search for lepton flavor universality violation as a function of the hadronic recoil parameter $w$, and investigate the differences of the electron and muon angular distributions. We find no deviation from Standard Model expectations.",
