We present a determination of a new class of three-loop Feynman diagrams describing heavy-to-light transitions. We apply it to find the O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the top quark decay t -> bW and to the distribution of lepton invariant mass…
In supersymmetric theories, the top quark can decay into its scalar partner plus a neutralino, with an appreciable rate. We calculate the $O(\alpha_s)$ QCD corrections to this decay mode in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the…

Rates and CP asymmetries of the non-leptonic two-body decay of $B_c$ are calculated based on the low energy effective Hamiltonian. We concentrate on such $b$ quark decays of the processes with $0^-$ and $1^-$ S-wave particles and/or $0^+$…

We determine the widths of three-body decays of sleptons, $\tilde{l}^- \to \tilde{l}^{\pm} l^- l^{\mp}, \tilde{l}^- \nu \bar{\nu}, \tilde{l}^- q \bar{q}$, in the presence of arbitrary slepton flavor violation and left-right mixing. These…
The nonleptonic two body $B_{u,d,s,c}$ decays involving a light tensor meson in final states are studied in the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization. The decay modes with a tensor meson emitted, are prohibited in naive…

In supersymmetric theories where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gravitino the next to lightest supersymmetric particle is typically a long lived charged slepton. In this paper, following our earlier proposal, we perform a…
A search for slepton production via the decay of pair-produced neutralinos has been performed under the assumption that the sleptons have observable lifetime in the detector before each decays to a lepton and a gravitino. Sleptons,…

The LEP experiments give a lower bound on the neutralino mass of about 46 GeV which, however, relies on a supersymmetric grand unification relation. Dropping this assumption, the experimental lower bound on the neutralino mass vanishes…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, neutralinos lighter than 50 GeV are compatible with all accelerator, precision, and cosmological bounds. Such neutralinos might constitute a relevant decay channel for the Higgs boson, modifying…
