A search is performed for a new resonance decaying into a lighter resonance and a Z boson. Two channels are studied, targeting the decay of the lighter resonance into either a pair of oppositely charged tau leptons or a b b-bar pair. The Z…
We point out that in the minimal supersymmetric standard model terms from the mixing of Higgs and Goldstone bosons which are connected to the renormalization of tan(beta) via Slavnov-Taylor identities give rise to corrections that do not…
It is well known that the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can enhance Br[B_{d,s}->mu^+ mu^-] by orders of magnitude, even if we assume the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix to be the only source of flavour violation. Of…
The SU(3) simplest little Higgs model in its original framework without the so-called mu term inevitably involves a massless pseudoscalar boson eta, which is problematic for b-physics and cosmological axion limit. With the mu term…
Charged Higgs phenomenology and detection chance at future linear colliders through the production process $e^{-}e^{+} \ra H^{+}H^{-} \ra \tau^{+}\nu \tau \bar{\nu}$ is studied. Both charged Higgs bosons are considered to decay to $\tau\nu$…
The hitherto unobserved purely leptonic decays B^\pm -> \tau^\pm \nu and B^\pm -> \mu^\pm \nu are of much interest at current and future runs of the e+e- B factories. Such decays are sensitive to charged Higgs bosons (H^\pm) at the…
It has been known that $B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau \nu_{\tau}$ are good observables in the search for the charged Higgs. The recent obervation of deviation from standard-model by almost 4$\sigma$ by Babar, Belle and LHCb in $R(D^{(*)})$…
We present a search for the decay B+ -> tau+ nu using 383x10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. A sample of events with one reconstructed semileptonic B decay (B- -> D0 l nu…
The process gamma gamma \to mu tau b bbar is studied in the minimal supersymmetric standard model within a large tan_beta scenario imposing on the parameter space present direct and indirect constraints from B physics and rare LFV…
The recent observation of the purely leptonic decay B^\pm\to \tau^\pm\nu_\tau at the B factories permits a sizeable contribution from a charged Higgs boson (H^\pm). Such a H^\pm would also contribute to the decays D^\pm_s\to \mu^\pm\nu_\mu…
The rare decays $B_{s(d)} \to \mu^+\mu^-$ play a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. An overview of the most recent theoretical predictions of the corresponding branching ratios is given, emphasizing that the sizable decay width…
We explore supersymmetric contributions to the decay $K_S^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$, in light of current experimental data. The Standard Model (SM) predicts $\mathcal{B}(K_S^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-)\approx5\times 10^{-12}$. We find that…
Motivated by the first evidence of the B -> tau nu transition reported by Belle and by the precise DeltaM_{B_s} measurement by CDF, we analyse these and other low-energy observables in the framework of the MSSM at large tan(beta). We show…
A search is presented for a Higgs-like boson with mass in the range 45 to 195 GeV/$c^2$ decaying into a muon and a tau lepton. The dataset consists of proton-proton interactions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb…
We present a search for Higgs boson produced in the di-tau modes or via the associated $p\bar{p}\to h+b \to\tau^+\tau^-b$ process at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV using up to 1.8-7.3 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the D0…
We investigate \tau\tau fusion to light h and heavy H and A Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) at a photon collider as a promising channel for measuring large values of tan(beta). For standard design parameters…
Motivated by recent search results for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we revisit the Higgs phenomenology in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT). We present the signal strength modifier $\mu$…
A search is performed for a pseudoscalar Higgs boson, A, decaying into a 125 GeV Higgs boson h and a Z boson. The h boson is specifically targeted in its decay into a pair of tau leptons, while the Z boson decays into a pair of electrons or…
The HyperCP collaboration observed three events for the decay Sigma to p mu+ mu-. They suggested that new physics may be required to understand the implied decay rate and the observed dimuon invariant mass distribution. Motivated by this…
Recent evidence from observation of the flavor-changing neutral current decay B_s to mu+ mu- by the LHCb collaboration B(B_s to mu^+ mu^-) = (3.2 * 10^{-9}), is consistent with the latest standard model prediction B(B_s to mu^+ mu^-) =…
