We consider a Z' model where the Z' boson couples only to up and top quarks. As a simple setup, one can consider a family-dependent $U(1)'$ symmetry, under which only right-handed up-type quarks are charged. After symmetry breaking, the…
Within $Z^\prime$ models, neutral meson mixing severely constrains beyond the Standard Model (SM) effects in flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) processes. However, in certain regions of the $Z^\prime$ parameter space, the contributions…

The top quark flavor changing neutral current processes are extremely suppressed within the Standard Model. Nevertheless, they could be enhanced in a new physics model beyond the Standard Model. Investigating the top quark's flavor changing…
CP violating effects in the single top quark production via flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) reactions $e^+e^- ->t bar{q}$ and $e^+e^- ->bar{t}q$ (here $q$ refers to charm and up quarks) are studied. The effective Lagrangian…

In this work, we study the flavor-changing neutral-current process $B_{c}\to{D}_{s}^{*}(\to{D}_{s}\pi)\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ ($\ell$= $e$, $\mu$, $\tau$). The relevant weak transition form factors are obtained by using the covariant light-front…
$|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1$ processes are unique probes of flavor physics in the up-sector within and beyond the Standard Model (SM). SM tests with rare semileptonic charm meson decays are based on an approximate CP--symmetry, a superior…
We know that `our' Universe consists of `known' matter only $\sim$ 4.5\%: our understanding is incomplete seeing directly in neutrino oscillations (never mind about `other' Universes). Charm quarks had great impact on our understanding of…
In this paper we show that the diphoton mass spectrum in proton-proton collisions at the LHC is sensitive to the top quark flavor changing neutral current in the vertices of $tu\gamma$ and $tc\gamma$. The diphoton mass spectrum measured by…
