The BaBar collaboration has analysed 60M BB_ pairs collected at the Upsilon (4S) resonance at the PEP II asymetric collider at SLAC. Using this data sample we have measured the CP violation parameters sin (2beta)=0.75+/- 0.09 (STAT) +/-0.04…
We measure the rate of D0-D0bar mixing with the observable yCP=(tauKpi/tauKK)-1, where tauKK and tauKpi are respectively the mean lifetimes of CP-even D0->K+K- and CP-mixed D0->K-pi+ decays, using a data sample of 384/fb collected by the…
R-parity conservation is an {\it ad hoc} assumption in the most popular version of the supersymmetric standard model. Most studies of models which do allow for R-parity violation have been restricted to various limiting scenarios. The…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the simultaneous appearance of lepton and baryon number violation causes the proton to decay much faster than the experimental bound allows. Customarily, a discrete symmetry known as…
We present an updated measurement of the $B_s^0$ lifetime from the D0 collaboration using the semileptonic decays $B_s^0\rightarrow D_s^-\mu^+\nu X$, with $D_s^- \to \phi \pi^-$ and $\phi \to K^+K^-$ (and the charge conjugate process). This…
We argue that there could be large, SU(3) violating resonance contributions to D -> K pi decays which would affect the extraction of the D0-anti-D0 mixing parameters from experiment. Such contributions can induce a large strong phase in the…
The search for $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mixing may carry a large discovery potential for new physics. This paper discusses the techniques, current experimental status, and future prospects for the mixing search. Some new ideas, applicable to future…
Supersymmetric contributions to time independent asymmetry in $B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ process are analyzed in the view of the recent Tevatron experimental measurements. We show that the experimental limits of the mass difference $\Delta…
There has been significant recent experimental activity on the related topics of charm mixing and rare (flavor changing neutral current) decay. For mixing, several new results from direct (wrong sign) searches and first results from…
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…
Current publicly available computer programs calculate the spectrum and couplings of the minimal supersymmetric standard model under the assumption of R-parity conservation. Here, we describe an extension to the SOFTSUSY program which…
Bounds on R-parity violating couplings in the supersymmetric standard model are reviewed, and some new bounds arising from non-observation of certain rare B-decays (such as $B \rightarrow K^+K^-$) are presented. The focus is on…
The lifetimes of the B- and B0-bar mesons are measured using the partially reconstructed semileptonic decays B-bar -> D l- nu-bar X, where D is either a D0 or D*+ meson. The data were collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron…
We present results of a search for $D^0$-$\kern 0.2em\bar{\kern -0.2em D}{}^0$~mixing and a measurement of $R_{\rm D}$, the ratio of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays to Cabibbo-favored decays, based on an analysis of $D^0 \to K^{+}\pi^{-}$…
The flavor changing top quark decays t -> cV (V=Z,photon,gluon) induced by R-parity-violating couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) are evaluated. We find that the decays t -> cV can be significantly enhanced…
We study the implications of various supersymmetric models on the rare $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ and $K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar\nu$ decays. Although large effects are possible in generic supersymmetric models, most of the known…
We discuss a model for neutrino masses and mixings based on R parity violating Yukawa couplings. The model requires no right-handed neutrinos. It accommodates the SuperKamiokande data on atmospheric neutrinos and successfully relates this…
We constrain the hadronic R-parity violating couplings in extensions to the minimal supersymmetric standard model. These interactions violate baryon and lepton number, and allow the lightest superpartner (LSP) to decay into standard model…
The strong constraints on the R-parity conserving supersymmetry (SUSY) from the LHC searches motivate us to consider the new models in which the low-scale SUSY is still allowed. We propose a kind of R-parity violating SUSY scenarios with a…
The most sensitive experimental searches for $D-\bar D$ mixing use $D^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ decays. It is often assumed that effects of New Physics and, in particular, CP violation, can appear through the mixing, while the $c \to d u \bar s$…
