After briefly reviewing the status of epsilon'/epsilon in the Standard Model, I discuss SUSY contributions to epsilon'/epsilon, K^+ to pi^+ nu bar nu, K_L to pi^0 nu bar nu and K_L to pi^0 e^+ e^-. While in the simplest case of the MSSM…
The kaon sector is characterised by several processes which are under active investigation across different experiments. In this work, we present the global picture that emerges from a study of the different decay modes. We begin by…
Rare flavour changing neutral current decays are sensitive indirect probes for new effects beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, these decays are forbidden at tree level and are therefore loop-suppressed. In SM extensions, new, heavy…
In the Standard Model (SM), the rare transitions where a bottom quark decays into a strange quark and a pair of light leptons exhibit a potential sensitivity to physics beyond the SM. In addition, the SM embeds Lepton Flavour Universality…
Soon the NA62 experiment will start looking for the rare K+ ---> pi+ nu nu bar decay. In this talk, its theoretical interests, together with those of the neutral rare decays KL ---> pi0 nu nu bar, KL ---> pi0 e+ e-, and KL ---> pi0 mu+ mu-,…
Within the framework of the next to the minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the Standard Model (SM) with a local B-L gauge symmetry (N-B-LSSM), we study lepton flavor violating (LFV) $\tau\rightarrow e M^+ M^-$ decays: $\tau…
The Minimal Lepton Flavour Violation (MLFV) framework is discussed after the recent indication for CP violation in the leptonic sector. Among the three distinct versions of MLFV, the one with degenerate right-handed neutrinos will be…
Rare flavour changing neutral current decays of strange, charm and beauty hadrons have been instrumental in building up a picture of flavour in the Standard Model. Increasingly precise measurements of these decays allow to search for…
The most recent progress and future prospects in kaon physics are reviewed. Main results are the first observation of the rare decays KS->pi0ee and KS->pi0mumu by NA48, new K+->pinunu event observed by E949 and new precision measurements of…
Physics of the up-type flavour offers unique possibilities of testing the Standard Model (SM) compared to the down-type flavour sector. Here, we discuss SM and New Physics (NP) contributions to the rare charm-meson decay $ D^0 \to \pi^+…
The Fermilab HyperCP collaboration is making precision studies of charged hyperon and kaon decays, as well as searches for rare and forbidden hyperon and kaon decays. We report here on measurements of the branching ratios of the…
We present a concise review of the theoretical status of rare K -> pi nu nubar decays in the standard model (SM). Particular attention is thereby devoted to the recent calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to…
A decade long search for the rare kaon decay to pi^+nunu-bar has been pursued by E787. Two signal events are observed, giving a measurement of the branching ratio Br(K^+ -> PI^+NUNU-BAR)=1.57^+1.75_-0.82 x 10^-10 and a constraint on the…
We present the results of an extensive analysis of flavour physics in both quark and lepton sectors, in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT). In the quark sector, we identify some interesting scenarios for new mirror quark masses…
We use lepton-flavour violating (LFV) processes as a probe of higher-order corrections to the K\"ahler potential in compactified M-theory. We consider a generic K\"ahler potential with higher-order terms coupling visible sector fields to…
We analyse the rare processes $K \to \pi\nu\bar\nu$ in view of the recent hints of violations of Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) observed in B meson decays. If, as suggested by present data, the new interactions responsible for LFU…
The first lattice result from the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations and improved perturbative calculations of $\varepsilon^{\prime}_K / \varepsilon_K$ have implied that the Standard-Model (SM) expectation deviates from measured values at the…
The latest search for the rare kaon decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ by the NA62 experiment has produced evidence for it with a branching fraction consistent with the prediction of the standard model. The new result implies that in this decay,…
This letter gathers a selection of Standard Model predictions issued from the metrology of the CKM parameters performed by the CKMfitter group. The selection includes purely leptonic decays of neutral and charged B, D and K mesons. In the…
We present an overview of rare K, D and B decays. Particular attention is devoted to those flavour-changing neutral-current processes of K and B mesons that offer the possibility of new significant tests of the Standard Model. The…
