Leptonic and semi-leptonic rare decays of B-mesons are very clean (both theoretically and experimentally) signatures of any new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). More specifically the decay \btokll has been theoretically observed to…
We consider, at order $\alpha_s^2$ in the QCD coupling, top-quark pair production in the continuum at various center-of-mass energies and $b$-quark pair production at the $Z$ resonance by (un)polarized electron and positron beams. For top…
Recently, a conceptually new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM), unparticle, has been proposed, where a hidden conformal sector is coupled to the SM sector through higher dimensional operators. In this setup, we investigate unparticle…
Recently, conceptually new physics beyond the Standard Model has been proposed, where a hidden conformal sector provides ``unparticle'' which couples to the Standard Model sector through higher dimensional operators in low energy effective…
We suggest that top physics can be studied at the LHCb experiment, and that top production could be observed. Since LHCb covers a large pseudorapidity region in the forward direction, it has unique abilities to probe new physics in the top…
The Forward-Backward Asymmetry (AFB) in $Z^\prime$ physics is commonly only perceived as the observable which possibly allows one to interpret a $Z^\prime$ signal by distinguishing different models of such (heavy) spin-1 bosons. In this…
The top quark forward-backward asymmetry A_{FB}^t measured at the Tevatron is above the Standard Model prediction by more than 2-sigma deviation, which might be a harbinger for new physics. In this work we examine the contribution to…
In this work we investigate the contribution to B(d,s) mixing from both scalar and vector unparticles in a number of scenarios. The emphasis of this work is to show the impact of the recently discovered 3 sigma evidence for new physics…
Over the last few years LHCb with present energies found some discrepancies in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ FCNC transitions including anomalies in the angular observables of $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$, particularly in $P_5^\prime$, in low dimuon mass…
In this presentation an account of the multi-lepton (electrons and muons) anomalies at the LHC is given. These include the excess production of opposite sign leptons with and without b-quarks, including a corner of the phase-space with a…
A number of physical systems exhibit a particular form of asymptotic conformal invariance: within a particular range of distances, they are characterized by a long-range conformal interaction (inverse square potential), the absence of…
Attention is drawn to the several 2-3 $\sigma$ "anomalies" in B, $B_s$ mixings and decays involving CP-observables. Perhaps the most interesting theoretical scenario that could cause such effects is based on warped extra-dimensional models…
We have studied the possible signals of unparticle in atomic parity violation(APV) along an isotope chain and in the NuTeV experiment. The effects of unparticle physics could be observed in APV, if the uncertainty in relative neutron/proton…
The "parity" anomaly -- more accurately described as an anomaly in time-reversal or reflection symmetry -- arises in certain theories of fermions coupled to gauge fields and/or gravity in a spacetime of odd dimension. This anomaly has…
The anomalously large like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in semileptonic b-hadron decays recently measured by the D0 Collaboration may be hinting at the presence of CP-violating new physics in the mixing of B_s mesons. It has been suggested…
The forward-backward angular asymmetry (${\cal A}_{FB}$) for $\bar B^0\to \Lambda\bar p\pi^+$ measured by Belle has presented an experimental value in the range of $-30\%$ to $-50\%$. In our study, we find that ${\cal A}_{FB}[\bar…
To resolve the long-standing discrepancy between the precision measurement of bottom quark forward-backward asymmetry at LEP/SLC and the Standard Model prediction, we propose a novel method to probe the $Zb\bar{b}$ coupling by measuring the…
The combined LEP/SLD data on the b\bar b forward-backward asymmetry from the Z-pole measurements may imply the presence of new physics in the $Zb\bar b$ couplings. In general, the effect of new physics can be parameterized by $SU_C(3)\times…
Motivated by $-2 \sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model prediction for the forward--backward asymmetry of $Z \to b \bar{b}$ decay in the LEP data, we explore the anomalous couplings of $Z b \bar{b}$ vertex through the electroweak…
In this talk, we first make some brief comments on the phase-convention dependence of the CP-violating parameter \epsilon_B. A simple framework is then presented for analyzing new physics contributions to B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing and their…
