We present a correlated analysis for the $\Delta B =1, 2$ processes which occur via $b\to s$ transitions within models with a family non-universal $U(1)^\prime$. We take a model-independent approach, and only require family universal…
We study the implications of flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC's) in a model with the $SU(2)_l\times SU(2)_h\times U(1)_Y$ electroweak gauge symmetry for several anomalies appearing in $b\to s \ell\bar \ell$ induced $B$ decays in LHCb…
In models with an extra U(1)' gauge boson family non-universal couplings to the weak eigenstates of the standard model fermions generally induce flavor-changing neutral currents. This phenomenon leads to interesting results in various B…
Flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are described by loop diagrams in the Standard Model (SM), while in 331 models, based on the gauge group $\text{SU}(3)_C \times \text{SU}(3)_L \times \text{U}(1)_X$, they are dominated by…
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…
Flavor-changing and CP-violating interactions of Z' to fermions are generally present in models with extra U(1) gauge symmetry that are string-inspired or related to broken gauged family symmetry. We study the consequences of such couplings…
We investigate a family-nonuniversal Abelian extension of hypercharge, which significantly alters the phenomenological features of the standard model. Anomaly cancellation requires that the third quark family transforms differently from the…
In recent times, several discrepancies at the level of $(2-3)\sigma$ have been observed in the decay processes mediated by flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$, which may be considered as the…
The $B\to a_1 \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays occur by the electroweak penguin and box diagrams which can be performed through the flavor changing neutral current (FCNC). We calculate the form factors of the FCNC $B \to a_1$ transitions in the…
A non-universal interaction associated with top quark induces flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) among light fermions. The size of the FCNC effect depends crucially on the dynamics of the fermion mass generation. In this paper, we…
In supersymmetric grand-unified models, the lepton mixing matrix can possibly affect flavor-changing transitions in the quark sector. We present a detailed analysis of a model proposed by Chang, Masiero and Murayama, in which the…
We investigate, in detail, a model in which the third family fermions are subjected to an SU(2) dynamics different from the first two families. Constrained by the precision Z-pole data, the heavy gauge boson mass is bounded from below to be…
We study the effects of an extra U(1)' gauge boson with flavor changing couplings with fermion mass eigenstates on certain B meson decays that are sensitive to such new physics contributions. In particular, we examine to what extent the…
There are different models based on the gauge symmetry $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X$ (331) some of them includes exotic particles and others are constructed without any exotic charges assigned to the fermionic spectrum. Each…
The observations in the $B_{s}$ sector suggest the existence of some new physics contribution to the $B_S-\bar{B}_s$ mixing. We study the implications of a hypothesis that this contribution is generated by the Higgs induced flavour changing…
Extensions of the standard model (SM) with gauge symmetry SU(3)_c X SU(4)_L X U(1)_X (3-4-1 extensions) where anomaly cancellation takes place between the fermion families (three-family models) predict the existence of two new heavy neutral…
A supersymmetric extension of the standard model based on the discrete $Q_6$ family symmetry is considered, and we investigate flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes, especially those mediated by heavy flavor-changing neutral…

We address the recent anomalies in semi-leptonic $B$-meson decays using a model of fermion masses based on the $U(2)$ flavor symmetry. The new contributions to $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions arise due to a tree-level exchange of a…
We discuss the consequences of deviations from the Standard Model observed in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transitions for flavour-changing neutral-current processes involving down-type quarks and neutrinos. We work within an effective field theory…
