We investigate the impact of unparticle physics on the annihilation of relic neutrinos with the neutrinos identified as primary source of ultra high energy (UHE) cosmic ray events, producing a cascade of photons and charged particles. We…

We investigate the in-medium properties of strange vector mesons ($K^*$ and $\bar K^*$) in dense and hot nuclear matter based on chirally motivated models of the meson selfenergies. We parameterise medium effects as density or temperature…

The pure annihilation type decays $B^0_d\to\phi\gamma$ and $B_s\to\rho\gamma$ receive only color suppressed penguin contributions with a very small branching ratio in the standard model. When we include the previously neglected…

We present a model independent analysis of new-physics contributions to the decays K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu and K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu. We parameterize the effects of new physics in these decays by two parameters: r_K and \theta_K,…

The fully differential angular distribution for the rare flavor-changing neutral current decay {\bar B}_d^0 -> {\bar K}^{*0} (-> K^- \pi^+) e+ e- is studied. The emphasis is placed on accurate treatment of the contribution from the…

We have identified a missing long-distance (one-photon exchange) contribution to the $B^\pm\to K^\pm/\pi^\pm\ell^+\ell^-$ decays. Although it does not help to explain the anomaly measured by the LHCb Coll. in the ratio $R_K =…

We estimate nonfactorizable 1/$N_c$ contributions in the $K\rightarrow 2\pi$ amplitudes using the approach proposed in our previous work. It is demonstrated that for the conventional (nonpenguin) operators these contributions are close in…

B --> K^* \pi and B --> \rho K decays involve the same quark-level processes as B --> \pi K. Analyzing the measurements of the former decays might be able to shed additional light on the new-physics hints in the current B --> \pi K data. We…

The exclusive rare radiative B meson decays to orbitally excited axial-vector mesons K_1^*(1270), K_1(1400) and to the tensor meson K_2^*(1430) are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential…

Flavour Changing Neutral Current decays of the $B$-meson are a very useful tool for studying possible physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model (SM), where of the many FCNC modes radiative, purely leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of the…

We calculate the independent helicity amplitudes in the decays $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to \rho \ell \nu_\ell$ in the so-called Large-Energy-Effective-Theory (LEET). Taking into account the dominant $O(\alpha_s)$ and SU(3)…

Three ways are compared of dealing with rescattering effects in $B^{\pm}\to K^0\pi^{\pm}$, in order to determine the weak phase $\gamma$ from these processes and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\pi^0$. We find that neglecting these contributions…

We report a study of the suppressed B meson decay B^- -> D K^- followed by D -> K^+ \pi^-, where D indicates a D^0 or \bar{D}^0 state. The two decay paths interfere and provide information on the CP-violating angle \phi_3. We use a data…

We report on studies of three types of B-meson decay that can contribute to an understanding of fundamental intergenerational quark mixing, charge-conjugation--parity violation, and long-distance quantum chromodynamics. Specifically, we…

The NA62 experiment at CERN reports searches for $K^+\to\mu^+N$ and $K^+\to\mu^+\nu X$ decays, where $N$ and $X$ are massive invisible particles, using the 2016-2018 data set. The $N$ particle is assumed to be a heavy neutral lepton, and…

In the context of the recently measured non-leptonic decays $B_{d}\to K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ and $B_{s}\to K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ we analyse the anatomy of the $L_{VV}$ observable that compares the longitudinal components of $B_s \to VV$ and $B_d…
