Recent BaBar limits on $\br(\Upsilon(3S)\to \gam a\to \gam \tau^+\tau^-)$ and $\br(\Upsilon(3S)\to \gam a\to \gam \mu^+\mu^-)$ provide increased constraints on the $a b\anti b$ coupling of a CP-odd Higgs boson, $a$, with…
Experimental studies of B -> D^(*) tau nu decays, are reported. The results are based on large data samples collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB and the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric energy…
We report a search for the rare decay $B^{+} \rightarrow K^{+} \tau^{+} \tau^{-}$ using $1.2 \times 10^9$ $\Upsilon(4S)$ mesons produced near threshold in electron-positron collisions and collected by the Belle and Belle~II experiments. We…
In the pursuit of physics beyond the Standard Model, a promising path is the study of B-meson decays caused by the transition $b \to s\ell^+\ell^-$. A key observable in such decays is the ratio $R_K$, which measures electron--muon…
Muon-electron universality is tested in $B^0 \to K^{*0} \ \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays, in the dilepton-invariant-mass region above the $\psi(2S)$ resonance. The analysis uses beauty mesons produced in proton-proton collisions recorded by the LHCb…
We present the results of searches for rare B meson decays. The measurements use all or part of a data sample of about 88 million $\Upsilon(4S)\to B{\bar B}$ decays collected between 1999 and 2002 with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
We present a preliminary measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in B^0-->J/psi K_S and B^0-->psi(2S) K_S decays recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. The data sample consists of 9.0 fb-1…

The Standard Model of particle physics currently provides our best description of fundamental particles and their interactions. The theory predicts that the different charged leptons, the electron, muon and tau, have identical electroweak…
The four-lepton final state, rare in standard model processes, is an attractive channel for new physics searches at the LHC. In supersymmetry (SUSY), charged leptons may arise from R-Parity conserving (RPC) cascade decays of SUSY particles…
We present recent results on leptonic B decays using data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We report searches for the B -> tau nu decay, based on two…

We study the model with three right-handed neutrinos which masses are smaller than the weak scale ${\cal O}(10^2)$ GeV (called as the $\nu$MSM). The model can explain the origin of neutrino masses by the seesaw mechanism, offer a candidate…
We report on the first search for electron-muon lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the decay of a $b$~quark and $b$~antiquark bound state. We look for the LFV decay $\Upsilon (3S)\rightarrow e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ in a sample of 118~million…
With the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric $B$ Factory at SLAC, we present the first search for the decays $B^0\to\ell^+\ell^-\gamma$ ($l=e, \mu$). Using a data set of 292 $fb^{-1}$ collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, we find…
