CP violating phenomena and rare decays of $B_s$ mesons offer interesting probes to test the quark-flavor sector of the Standard Model. In view of plenty of data reported in particular from the Large Hadron Collider, this topic has received…

We study the behaviour of the flavour changing neutral currents in the Left-Right Symmetric Model related to the presence of spontaneous CP phases. To do this, we explore four cases corresponding to combinations of maximal and no CP…

CP violation offers powerful probes to explore the quark-flavour sector, where decays of B mesons have been key players since decades. I discuss a variety of probes ranging from non-leptonic to rare B decays, offering exciting opportunities…

We show that the observed pattern of quark flavor mixing, such as |V_{us}| \simeq |V_{cd}|, |V_{cb}| \simeq |V_{ts}|, |V_{cd}/V_{td}| \simeq |V_{cs}/V_{ts}| \simeq |V_{tb}/V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}/V_{cb}| < |V_{td}/V_{ts}|, can essentially be…

If the LHC experiments discover new particles that couple to the Standard Model fermions, then measurements by ATLAS and CMS can contribute to our understanding of the flavor puzzles. We demonstrate this statement by investigating a…

In recent years, the CKM picture of flavor and CP violation has been confirmed, mainly due to B decay data. Yet, it is likely that there are small corrections to this picture. We expect to find new physics not much above the weak scale.…

Two recent experimental developments, when combined, may have far reaching implications. $S_{\phi K_S} < 0$, if confirmed, would imply large $s$-$b$ mixing, a new CP phase, and right-handed dynamics. Large $\Delta m_{B_s}$ would be likely,…
