The mixing of $K^0-\bar{K^0}$, $D^0-\bar{D^0}$ and $B_{(s)}^0-\bar{B^0_{(s)}}$ provides a sensitive probe to explore new physics beyond the Standard Model. The scale invariant unparticle physics recently proposed by Georgi can induce…
We present a comprehensive, model-independent analysis of rare flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions of the top quark within an effective field theory framework. Beginning with a general parametrisation of top-FCNC couplings,…
We study the implications on flavor changing neutral current and CP violating processes in the context of supersymmetric theories without a new flavor structure (flavor blind supersymmetry). The low energy parameters are determined by the…
In a model with a gauge group $G_{SM}\otimes U(1)_X$, where $G_{SM} \equiv SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ is the standard model gauge group and $U(1)_X$ is a horizontal local gauge symmetry, the spectrum of charged fermion masses…
Flavor changing neutral currents coming from a new non-universal neutral Gauge-Boson and from the non-unitary quark mixing matrix for the $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ model with right handed neutrinos are studied. By imposing as…
We investigate the experimentally allowed parameter space of an extension of the standard model (SM3) by one additional family of fermions. Therefore we extend our previous study of the CKM like mixing constraints of a fourth generation of…
Coupling the scale invariant unparticle sector to flavour physics and assuming that it remains scale invariant we investigate its consequences in heavy flavour physics. A drastic feature of unparticle physics is an unusual phase leading to…
We present a extension of the 3-3-1 gauge model supplemented by an $A_4$ flavor symmetry and cyclic discrete symmetries, including $Z_2$, $Z_2'$, $Z_3$, $Z_4$, $Z_7$ and $Z_{10}$. The model successfully reproduces the observed SM fermion…
We analyze the low energy implications of a flavor blind supersymmetric scenario (where the CKM matrix is the only source of flavor violation) in the presence of new CP violating but flavor conserving phases in the soft sector. We find that…
Flavor changing neutral current $|\Delta B|=|\Delta S|=1$ processes are sensitive to possible new physics at the electroweak scale and beyond, providing detailed information about flavor, chirality and Lorentz structure. Recently the LHCb…
Aspects of the quark mixings and flavor changing interactions are investigated in electroweak models with singlet quarks. The effects on the ordinary quark mixing are determined in terms of the quark masses and the parameters describing the…
Motivated by the intimate connection between the strong CP problem and the flavor structure of the Standard Model, we present a flavor model that revives and extends the classic ${m_u=0}$ solution to the strong CP problem. QCD is embedded…
We survey the flavor-changing neutral couplings (FCNC) of the top quark predicted by some extensions of the Standard Model: THDM, SUSY, L-R symmetric, TC2, 331, and models with extra quarks. Since the expected sensitivity of the LHC and ILC…
We use a $U(2)\times U(1)$ horizontal symmetry in order to construct supersymmetric models where the flavor structure of both quarks and leptons is induced naturally. The supersymmetric flavor changing neutral currents problem is solved by…
We study the flavor physics implications of baryogenesis in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Enhanced $B-\bar B$ mixing and $b \to s \gamma$ rates are generic to all scenarios. Depending on the origin of the CP violating phase…
We study the phenomenological constraints on the parameter space in the parity symmetric scenario of a class of left-right symmetric models in which the fermion masses are generated through a universal seesaw mechanism. The model, motivated…
We propose a new framework for understanding the hierarchies of fermion masses and mixings. The masses and mixings of all Standard Model (SM) charged fermions other than top arise from higher dimensional operators involving a messenger…
In absence of any distinct evidence of new physics phenomena at the LHC, an increasing number of experimental studies aim at probing anomalous effects with an effective field theory (EFT) that represents a comprehensive approach for…
General flavor changing interactions for a Goldstone boson (GB) to fermions due to a spontaneous global $U(1)_G$ symmetry breaking are discussed. This GB may be the Axion, solving the strong QCD CP problem, if there is a QCD anomaly for the…
This is a written version of a series of lectures aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in particle theory/string theory/particle experiment familiar with the basics of the Standard Model. We begin with an overview of flavor…
