We present a new measurement of the purely leptonic decay B- -> tau- nu_tau-bar with a semileptonic B tagging method, using a data sample containing 657*10^6 BB-bar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e+e-…
The purely leptonic rare decay Bs -> mu+mu- is very sensitive to supersymmetric contributions which are free from the helicity suppression of its Standard Model diagrams. The recent observation of the decay by the LHCb experiment and the…
We calculate the inclusive branching ratio for B--> X_s gamma, the inclusive branching ratios and asymmetries for B--> X_s l+ l- and the anomalous magnetic moment g-2 of the muon, within a minimal gauge-mediated SUSY-breaking model which…
A search is reported for the standard model Higgs boson in the decay mode H to ZZ to tau plus lepton pairs, where the leptons are either electrons or muons, in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated…
Recent experimental results for the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar B \to D^{(*)}\tau \nu_\tau$ and $B\to D^{(*)} \mu \nu_\mu$ decays came as a surprise and lead to a discussion of possibility to constraining new physics through…
We calculate the branching ratios of chi_{b0} --> tau+ tau- via an s-channel Higgs boson and estimate the sensitivity to this process from Upsilon --> gamma chi_{b0} --> gamma tau+ tau-. We show that future running at the Upsilon(3S) at a…
The first direct search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the recently discovered Higgs boson (H) is described. The search is performed in the H to mu tau[e] and H to mu tau[h] channels, where tau[e] and tau[h] are tau leptons…
A search for direct production of Higgs bosons in the di-tau decay mode is performed with 86.3 +/- 3.5 pb^-1 of data collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab during the 1994-1995 data taking period of the Tevatron. We search for…
We investigate the differential branching ratio, branching ratio, differential forward-backward asymmetry, the forward-backward asymmetry of the lepton pair and the lepton polarization asymmetry of the exclusive $B\to \tau^+ \tau^- \gamma$…
A search for a heavy scalar boson H decaying into a pair of lighter standard-model-like 125 GeV Higgs bosons h and a search for a heavy pseudoscalar boson A decaying into a Z and an h boson are presented. The searches are performed on a…
The decay modes $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ are sensitive to charged scalar effects, such as the charged Higgs effects. In this paper we suggest a method to determine their effects by using the ratio of branching fractions and…
We update theoretical studies of the physics opportunities presented by mu+mu- Higgs factories. Interesting measurements of the Standard Model Higgs decays into {\bar b}b, tau+tau- and WW* may be possible if the Higgs mass is less than…
Discovery of the Higgs boson in any decay channel depends on the existence of event variables or cuts with sensitivity to the presence of the Higgs. We demonstrate the non-optimality of the kinematic variables which are currently expected…
We present a search for the decay B+ --> tau+ nu_tau using 467.8 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. We select a sample of events with one completely…
In these proceedings we review the impact of additional Higgs bosons on $B$ physics observables. For this purpose, we consider first the 2HDM of type II which respects natural flavour conservation. Afterwards, we study a 2HDM with generic…
We study the inclusive semileptonic rare decay $b \to s l^+ l^-$ in minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA). If tan$\beta$ is large, down-type quark mass matrices and their Yukawa couplings cannot be diagonalized at the same basis. This induces…
We study the observability of the $\tautau$ decay mode of a Higgs boson produced in the $s$-channel at a muon collider. We find that the spin correlations of the $\tautau$ in $\tau\to \pi\nu_{\tau}, \rho\nu_{\tau}$ decays are discriminative…
The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model contains in general sources of tau lepton flavour violation which induce the rare decays tau --> mu gamma and tau --> e gamma. We argue in this paper that the observation of both rare processes…
The differential branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, CP asymmetry and lepton polarization for a B-meson to decay to strange hadronic final states and a $\tau^+\tau^-$ pair in a CP softly broken two Higgs doublet model are computed.…
The B_s to mu+ mu- decay plays an outstanding role in tests of the Standard Model and physics beyond it. The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the first evidence for this decay at the 3.5 sigma level, with a branching ratio in the…
