New physics in the form of scalar/pseudoscalar operators cannot lower the semileptonic branching ratio B(B --> K mu+ mu-) below its standard model value. In addition, we show that the upper bound on the leptonic branching ratio B(B_s -->…
We study the constraints on possible new physics contribution to the forward-backward asymmetry of muons, A_{FB}(q^2), in B --> K mu+ mu-. New physics in the form of vector/axial-vector operators does not contribute to A_{FB}(q^2) whereas…
We present some phenomenology of the Higgs sector of the Minimal $B-L$ U(1) Extension of the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider. In this model, the existence of an extra gauge boson ($Z'$) and an extra scalar (heavy Higgs) are…
We study a minimal flavor violating extension of the MSSM, where higher dimensional operators in the Kahler potential induce tree level non-holomorphic Higgs couplings that are controlled by the scale of the physics beyond the MSSM, and…
We discuss the interpretation of present and possible future experimental constraints on B_s to mu^+ mu^- decay in the context of the constrained minimal extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM) with universal scalar masses. We emphasize the…
Recently several measurements in the neutral current sector $b\rightarrow s l^+l^-$ ($l=e$ or $\mu$) as well as in the charged current sector $b \rightarrow c \tau \bar{\nu}$ show significant deviations from their Standard Model…
We consider the effect of new physics on the branching ratio of B_s--> l+ l- gamma where l=e,mu. If the new physics is of the form scalar/pseudoscalar, then it makes no contribution to B_s--> l+ l- gamma, unlike in the case of B_s--> l+ l-,…
We discuss how new data for a_{mu}= (g-2)_{mu}/2 improve constraints on new physics. Using two types of estimations of a_{mu}^{had} (Davier & H"{o}cker (case A) and Jegerlehner2000 (case B)) we evaluate 95% CL intervals for a new…
In this letter, we consider the constraints imposed by the recent measurement of B_s - bar B_s mixing on the new physics contribution to the rare decay B_s --> mu+ mu-. New physics in the form vector and axial-vector couplings is already…
The next-to-minimal supersymmetric model (NMSSM) with a large lambda (the mixing parameter between the singlet and doublet Higgs fields) is well motivated since it can significantly push up the upper bound on the SM-like Higgs boson mass to…
We consider scalar extensions of the SM and their effective field theoretic generalisations to illustrate the phenomenological connection between precision measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a_\mu$, precision Higgs…
Measuring the Higgs couplings accurately at colliders is one of the best routes for finding physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). If the measured couplings deviate from the SM predictions, then this would give rise to energy-growing…
We consider the most general new physics effective Lagrangian for b --> s l+ l-. We derive the upper limit on the branching ratio for the processes B_s --> l+ l- where l=e, mu, subject to the current experimental bounds on related…
We show that present experimental constraints on B_s -> mu+ mu- decay and the CDMS upper limit on the cold dark matter elastic scattering cross section already have significant impact on the parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric…
We perform an update of our previous analysis on the constraints on possible deviations of Hbb coupling from its Standard Model value, arising from a scalar-pseudoscalar mixing. In this paper we include a complete simulation of the process…
The process mu+ mu- --> H gamma, though small compared to the resonance process, could be observable at proposed muon colliders, given expected integrated luminosities. The apparently leading diagrams occur at tree-level, and are…
We perform a model independent analysis of new physics in $B^*_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay. We intend to identify new physics operator(s) which can provide large enhancement in the branching ratio of $B^*_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$…
We consider the Higgs sector in an extension of the MSSM with extra SM singlets, involving an extra $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry, in which the domain-wall problem is avoided and the effective $\mu$ parameter is decoupled from the new gauge…
We study the forward-backward asymmetry (AFB) and the differential branching ratio (DBR) in B -> K* mu+ mu- in the presence of new physics (NP) with different Lorentz structures. We consider NP contributions from vector-axial vector (VA),…
A systematic analysis of Higgs-mediated contributions to the Bd and Bs mass differences is presented in the MSSM with large values of tan(beta). In particular, supersymmetric corrections to Higgs self-interactions are seen to modify the…
