We study the effect of b to s sbar s scalar/pseudoscalar operators in B to K eta('), phi K^* decays. In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), such scalar/pseudoscalar operators can be induced by the penguin diagrams of neutral…
Tensor operators are often invoked as specific new physics operators beyond the standard model in an effort to explain anomalies in rare B-decays and CP asymmetries. Specifically, $b \to s \mu^+\mu^-$ tensor operators are invoked in the…
We consider B to PS decays where P stands for pseudoscalar and S for a heavy (~1500 MeV) scalar meson. We achieve agreement with available experimental data -- which includes a two orders of magnitude hierarchy -- assuming the scalars…
We study the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}_s \to K^{*+} \ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$, which is induced by $b\to u \ell^- \bar\nu_\ell$ transitions at the quark level. We take into account the standard model (SM) operator from $W$-boson exchange as…
The recent measurements of large transverse fractions in B \to \phi K^* decays represent a challenge for theory. It was shown that the QCD penguin annihilation could contribute to the transverse amplitudes such that the observation could be…
We study the $B\to \phi K_S$ and $B\to \ep K_S$ decays in MSSM by calculating hadronic matrix elements of operators with QCD factorization approach and including neutral Higgs boson (NHB) contributions. We calculate the Wilson coefficients…
The pure penguin process $B\to \phi K^*$ is one of the most important probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recently BaBar and Belle have measured the unexpectedly large transverse polarization in the decays $B\to \phi K^*$, which…
We explore the decays of $B\to V_1V_2$ ($V_{1,2}= (\rho, \omega,K^*, \phi)$ and $B= (B^0, B^+,B_s)$) with transverse polarizations. We explicitly evaluate the eigenstates of T-odd scalar operators involving spins for the first time, which…
The weak decays of $B \to K^{\ast}_0(1430) l^{+} l^{-}$ ($l=\mu, \tau$) are investigated in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and also in Supersymmetric (SUSY) SO(10) Grand Unified Models. Neutral Higgs bosons are the point of…
We study the decay $B^\pm\to \phi K^{\ast\pm}$, followed by the decay of the outgoing vector mesons into two pseudoscalars. The analysis of angular distributions of the decay products is shown to provide useful information about the…
We try to understand the polarization puzzle in $B\to \phi K^*$ decays with a simple Higgs model associated with flavor changing neutral current at tree level. The new interactions can effectively reduce the longitudinal polarization…
We consider the new-physics (NP) solution to the polarization puzzle in B -> phi K* decays. We note that any such solution must reproduce the data in B -> phi Ks, where there are disagreements with the standard model in CP-asymmetry…
We investigate whether the anomalous tensor operators with the Lorentz structure $\sigma_{\mu\nu} (1+\gamma_{5})\otimes \sigma^{\mu\nu}(1+\gamma_{5})$, which could provide a simple resolution to the polarization anomaly observed in $B\to…
We analyze the $B \to \phi K^{*}$ polarization puzzle in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) including the neutral Higgs boson (NHB) contributions. To calculate the non-factorizable contributions to hadronic matrix elements of…
We investigate the rare decay processes of the K mesons, K_{L,S} -> \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu} and K^{+} -> \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu} in LR model with lepton family number being well conserved. In these processes, scalar operators…
We propose a set of optimized observables using penguin mediated $\bar{B}_d$ and $\bar{B}_s$ decays to $K^{(*)}\bar{K}^{(*)}$ and $K^*\phi$ final states that exhibhit a reduced sensitivity to power corrections than the corresponding…
Factorizable amplitudes in B decays to light vector meson pairs give a longitudinal polarization satisfying 1- f_L =O(1/m_b^2). This remains formally true when non-factorizable graphs are included in QCD factorization, and is numerically…
We investigate the decays of $\bar{B}^0_s$, $\bar{B}^0$ and $B^-$ into $\eta_c$ plus a scalar meson in a theoretical framework by taking into account the dominant process for the weak decay of $\bar{B}$ meson into $\eta_c$ and a $q\bar{q}$…
We study model-independently the implications of non-standard scalar and pseudoscalar interactions for the decays b ->s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+l^- (l=e,mu) and B_s -> mu^+ mu^-. We find sizeable renormalization effects from scalar and…
We analyze the new physics effects in semileptonic $\bar{B_s} \to K^{*+}(\to K\pi) \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decay induced by the $b \to u \ell \nu_{\ell}$ quark level transition. We consider the vector, scalar and tensor new physics Lorentz…
