We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…

We report a search for non-Standard Model physics through the measurement of CP-violating asymmetry in the Cabibbo suppressed D0->pi+pi- and D0->K+K- decays reconstructed in about 5.94/fb of CDF data. We use the strong D*+->D0pi+ decay ("D*…

It was previously shown that unlike the ratios $R_K^{\mu e} \equiv R_K \equiv \Gamma(B \to K \mu^+ \mu^-)/\Gamma(B \to K e^+ e^-)$ and $R_{K^*}^{\mu e} \equiv R_{K^*} \equiv \Gamma(B \to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-)/\Gamma(B \to K^* e^+ e^-)$, the…

We have performed a search for CPT violation in neutral charm meson oscillations using data from the FOCUS Experiment. While flavor mixing in the charm sector is predicted to be small by the Standard Model, it is still possible to…

A study of mixing and indirect CP violation in D0 mesons through the determination of the parameters y_CP and A_\Gamma\ is presented. The parameter y_CP is the deviation from unity of the ratio of effective lifetimes measured in D0 decays…

We have searched for the lepton flavor violating decays $\tau^-\to \ell^-\ks$ ($\ell = e {or} \mu$), using a data sample of 281 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider. No evidence for a…

LHCb has reported deviations from the Standard Model in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transitions for which a new neutral gauge boson is a prime candidate for an explanation. As this gauge boson has to couple in a flavour non-universal way to muons…

A number of measurements in decays induced by the semileptonic $b\to s$ and $b\to c$ transitions hint towards a possible role of new physics in both sectors. Motivated by these anomalies, we investigate the lepton flavor violating $B\to…

In the Standard Model \CP violation in charm decays is expected to be very small, at the level of 0.1% or less. A significant excess of \CP violation with respect to the Standard Model predictions would be a signature of new physics. We…
