We perform a comprehensive SU(3)-flavor analysis of charmed mesons decaying to two pseudoscalar SU(3)-octet mesons. Taking into account SU(3)-breaking effects induced by the splitting of the quark masses, m_s != m_{u,d}, we find that…

We study $b \to s \ell_1^+ \ell_2^-$ transitions, both for the lepton flavour conserving $\ell_1=\ell_2$ and violating case $\ell_1 \neq \ell_2$, in a minimal extension of the Standard Model proposed in [1]. In this framework, the Standard…

We analyze the flavor violation in warped extra dimension due to radion mediation. We show that \Delta S=2 and \Delta B=2 flavor violating processes impose stringent constraints on radion mass, m_\phi and the scale \Lambda_\phi. In…

We calculate probabilities of flavour violating processes mediated by Kalutza-Klein modes of gauge bosons in a model where three generations of the Standard Model fermions arise from a single generation in (5+1) dimensions. We discuss a…

Global fits to charmless B --> PP decays in the framework of flavor SU(3) symmetry are updated and improved without reference to the \sin2\beta measured from the charmonium decay modes. Fit results directly constrain the (\bar\rho,\bar\eta)…
