Employing the SU(2) isospin symmetry of strong interactions and estimates borrowed from effective field theory, we explore the impact of new physics on the decays $B^\pm\to \phi K^\pm$ and $B_d\to \phi K_S$ in a model-independent manner. To…
Both D0 and CDF at Tevatron reported the measurements of forward-backward asymmetry in top pair production, which showed possible deviation from the standard model QCD prediction. In this paper, we explore how to examine the {\em same}…
We discuss semileptonic and leptonic B decays, B to D^{(*)} tau nu and B to tau nu, in the chiral U(1)' models which were proposed by the present authors in the context of the top forward-backward asymmetry (A^t_FB) observed at the…
We investigate the flavour alignment conditions that New Physics (NP) models need to satisfy in order to address the $(g-2)_\mu$ anomaly and, at the same time, be consistent with the tight bounds from $\mu \to e \gamma$ and $\tau \to \mu…
Having taken the QED radiative correction and one-loop weak corrections into account, we have computed the unpolarized forward-backward asymmetry in the process $e^+e^- -> \mu^+\mu^-$ at a very reasonable accuracy. Special attention to the…
A large forward-backward asymmetry is seen in both the top quark rapidity distribution $A_{FB}^t$ and in the rapidity distribution of charged leptons $A_{FB}^\ell$ from top quarks produced at the Tevatron. We study the kinematic and dynamic…
We perform a model independent analysis to identify new physics operators which can enhance the branching ratio of $B_s^* \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ above its Standard Model (SM) prediction. We find that none of the new physics operators…
We present a considerably improved analysis of model-independent bounds on new physics effects in non-leptonic tree-level decays of B-mesons. Our main finding is that contributions of about $\pm 0.1 $ to the Wilson coefficient of the…
We investigate new physics effects on $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ decays in a general and model-independent way. The $\chi^2$ fits for fractions of the branching ratios $R(D^{(*)})$ and other polarization parameters are implemented. We…
This talk discusses possible new physics interpretations of recent experimental results on the B-->K*mu+mu- decay that show a discrepancy with the Standard Model predictions. A model independent analysis that takes into account all the…
In a scenario in which fourth generation fermions exist, we study effects of new physics on the differential decay width, forward-backward asymmetry $A_{\text{FB}}$ and integrated branching ratio for $B\to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay with…
The description of large-recoil heavy-to-light meson form factors is reviewed in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory. At leading power in the heavy quark expansion, three classes of approximate symmetry relations arise. The…
We show (an earlier conjecture of the last two authors) that the momentum and position operators of mu-deformed quantum mechanics for -1/2 < mu < 0 are not Accardi complementary. We also prove some related formulas that were conjectured by…
We perform an analysis of the K* polarization states in the exclusive B meson decay B0->K*0(-> K- pi+)l+ l- (l=e, mu, tau) in the low dilepton mass region, where the final vector meson has a large energy. Working in the transversity basis,…
The CDF collaboration has recently reported a large deviation from the standard model of the t \bar t forward-backward asymmetry in the high invariant mass region. We interpret this measurement as coming from new physics at a heavy scale…
Double polarized forward-backward asymmetries in $B\rightarrow K_{1}(1270,1400)\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ with $\ell=\mu , \tau$ decays are studied, using most general non-standard local four-fermi interactions, where the mass eigenstates…
We study the semileptonic decays of the $B_c$ meson into final charmonium states within the standard model and beyond. The relevant hadronic transition form factors are calculated in the framework of the covariant confined quark model…
We show that with a good fit to the muon $g-2$ constraint, the CP asymmetry can be as large as 25% (15%) for $B^0_d \to \tau^+ \tau^-$ ($B^0_d \to \mu^+ \mu^-$) in SUGRA models with nonuniversal gaugino masses and MSSM. If tau events…
Within the paradigm of warped extra dimensions, third generation quarks are expected to be the most sensitive to effects beyond the Standard Model. The anomalies observed at the LEP and Tevatron colliders in the forward-backward asymmetries…
The standard-model explanations of the anomalously-large transverse polarization fraction fT in B -> phi K* can be tested by measuring the polarizations of the two decays B+ -> rho+ K*0 and B+ -> rho0 K*+. For the scenario in which the…
