Recent BaBar results on rare B decays involving flavour-changing neutral currents are presented. New measurements of the CP asymmetries in $b \to s \gamma$ decays are reported as well as $b \to s l^+l^-$ branching ratio measurements.
Flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) in the charm system are highly suppressed in the standard model (SM). The theoretical strategies used to suppress FCNCs induced by supersymmetry in the strange and beauty systems need not apply to…
We analyze the maximum branching ratios for the Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) decays of the neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) into bottom quarks, h -> b\bar{s} (h=h^0,H^0,A^0). We consistently…
The rare Hyperon decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$ is an $s \to d$ flavour changing neutral current, and is therefore suppressed in within the Standard Model, making it an excellent probe for new physics. The process is dominated by long…
We examine the sensitivity of flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes to anomalous triple gauge boson couplings. We show that in the non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector these processes are very…
We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays D0\to mu+mu- and D0\to e+e-, and for the lepton-flavor violating decays D0\to e\pm mu\mp using 660 fb^-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e-…
We propose the local $(B-L)_{\mu\tau}$ model, which minimally retains the local $B-L$ extension for the sake of neutrino phenomenologies, and at the same time presents an invisible gauge boson $Z'$ with mass $\sim {\cal O}(10)$ MeV to…
We consider the process $\mu \to \nu_{e}e\bar{\nu}_{\mu} $in the framework of a two Higgs doublet model with flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC). Since FCNC generates in turn flavor changing charged currents in the lepton sector, this…
In recent years, $B_s$ decays into $tau^+tau^-$ has attracted a lot of attention since it is very sensitive to the structure of standard model (SM) and potential source of new physics beyond SM. In this paper, we study the effect of both Z…
Rare flavour-changing neutral-current transitions of the type $s \to d \ell^+\ell^-(\nu\bar\nu)$ and $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-(\nu\bar\nu)$ are analysed in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with generic flavour couplings. It is…

Measurements of Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) processes (rare decays, flavor mixing) play a key role to pursue new physics beyond the Standard Model. We present recent analysis results about some FCNC transitions performed by CDF…
