One of the key assumptions of the Standard Model of fundamental particles is that the interactions of the charged leptons, namely electrons, muons, and taus, differ only because of their different masses. While precision tests have not…
We study meson decays mediated by the heavy gauge bosons of the Pati-Salam model of quark-lepton unification. We consider the scenarios in which the tau lepton is associated with the third, second, and first generation of quarks. The most…
We present the model independent analysis of $\Lambda$ baryon polarizations in the (Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^-) decay. The sensitivity of the averaged 'Lambda' polarizations to the new Wilson coefficients is studied. It is observed that…
Semileptonic and leptonic B decays are analyzed in the framework of the relativistic quark model. Special attention is payed to the decays involving $\tau$ lepton. It is found that the calculated particular decay branching fractions are…
It has been shown that the anomalies observed in $\bar B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ and $\bar B\to \bar K\ell^+\ell^-$ decays can be resolved by adding a single scalar or vector leptoquark to the Standard Model, while constraints from…
Semi-leptonic and leptonic decays of B-mesons are important probes for testing SM and theories beyond it because of their relative cleanliness and far less theoretical uncertainties. In semi-leptonic decays based on quark level transition…
The first complete calculation of the quadratic quark mass correction to the correlator of the two currents relevant for the strangeness-changing semihadronic tau-decay rate is presented including its real part at the four-loop level. This…
Recently hints of lepton flavor non-universality emerged when the BaBar Collaboration observed deviations from the standard model predictions in $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv {\cal B}({\bar B} \to D^{(*)+} \tau^- {\bar\nu}_\tau) / {\cal B}({\bar B}…
In this paper we calculate first order radiative QCD corrections to the decay process $b\to cW^-(\to\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell)$ of a polarized bottom quark. Taking into account both the bottom and charm quark masses, the analytical expressions…

Angular and energy distributions for leptons and bottom quarks in the process e+e- --> t tbar --> l/b ... have been calculated assuming the most general top-quark couplings. The double distributions depend both on modification of the…
The fact that the measured B to \pi \pi, \pi K branching ratios exhibit puzzling patterns has received a lot of attention in the literature and motivated the formulation of a series of new physics scenarios with enhanced Z-penguins. In this…
We study the lepton polarization asymmetries in the radiative leptonic B decays of $B^+\to l^+\nu_{l}\gamma$ and $B^+_{c}\to l^+\nu_{l}\gamma$. We concentrate on the transverse component of the $\tau$ lepton asymmetries in the tau decay…
The longitudinal polarization fraction of the $D^{*}$ meson is measured in $B^0\to D^{*-}\tau^{+}\nu_{\tau}$ decays, where the $\tau$ lepton decays to three charged pions and a neutrino, using proton-proton collision data collected by the…
We consider the contributions to $g_\mu-2$ from fourth generation neutral and charged leptons, $N$ and $E$, at the one-loop level. Diagramatically, there are two types of contributions: boson-boson-$N$, and $E$-$E$-boson in the loop…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
A search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay of the tau into three charged leptons has been performed using $91.5 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at an $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II…
Data on the nucleon spin structure suggests that the $u$ (and $d$) quark distributions in the $\Lambda$ hyperon may be polarized. If this correlation carries over into fragmentation, then the study of polarized $\Lambda$'s in the current…
The differential decay spectrum $d\Gamma/dE_e dq^2$ for the semileptonic decay of an unpolarized hadron containing a b-quark, and the decay spectrum $d\Gamma/dE_e dq^2 d\!\cos\theta$ for polarized $\Lambda_b$ decay are computed to second…
If next generations of heavy quarks and leptons exist within the standard model (SM), they can manifest themselves in Higgs boson production at the Tevatron and the LHC, before being actually observed. This generation leads to an increase…
