We study the effects of the identical leptons in the final state of the $B^+\to \ell^+ \ell^- \ell^+\bar\nu_{\ell}$ decay. The amplitude of the process is described by the same form factors as the amplitude of the ${B\to \ell \ell…

The decay of $B^*_{s,d} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$~ and its impact on $B_{s,d} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ is studied here. The $ \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay widths of vector mesons $B^*_{s,d}$ are about a factor of 700 larger than the corresponding scalar mesons…

We estimate the decay rates of $\eta_c\rightarrow 2\gamma$, $\eta_c'\rightarrow 2\gamma$, and $J/\psi\rightarrow e^+ e^-$, $\psi^\prime\rightarrow e^+e^-$, by taking into account both relativistic and QCD radiative corrections. The decay…

We consider the minimal model of the seesaw mechanism by introducing two right-handed neutrinos, whose masses are comparable to the electroweak scale. This framework is attractive, since it is testable at terrestrial experiments. A critical…
