We extend our recent work and study implications of the Standard Model with four generations (SM4) for rare B and K decays. We again take seriously the several 2-3 $\sigma$ anomalies seen in B, $B_s$ decays and interpret them in the context…
Using the $B\to K_1$ form factors evaluated in the perturbative QCD approach, we study semileptonic $B\to K_1(1270)l^+l^-$ and $B\to K_1(1400)l^+l^-$ decays, where $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ are mixtures of $K_{1A}$ and $K_{1B}$ which are…
If the fourth generation fermions exist, the new quarks could influence the branching ratio of the decay $B_s \to \nu \bar{\nu} \gamma$. We obtain two solutions of the fourth generation CKM factor $V^*_{t's} V_{t'b}$ from the decay of $B…
If the fourth generation fermions exist, the new quarks could influence the branching ratios of the decays of $B\to X_s \gamma$ and $B\to X_sl^+l^-$. We obtain two solutions of the fourth generation CKM factor $V^{*}_{t^{'}s}V_{t^{'}b}$…
Semileptonic $B$ meson decays into the four lightest excited charmed meson states ($D_0^*$, $D_1^*$, $D_1$, and $D_2^*$) and their counterparts with $s$ quarks are investigated, including the full lepton mass dependence. We derive the…
Motivated by the recent observation of lepton universality violation in the flavour changing charged current transitions $b \to c l \bar{\nu}_l$, we intend to scrutinize the lepton non-universality effects in rare semileptonic $B$ meson…
We study the scalar leptoquark effects on the rare semileptonic decays of $\Lambda_b$ baryon, governed by the quark level transition $b \to s l^+ l^-$. We estimate the branching ratios, forward-backward asymmetries, lepton polarization…
We summarize recent results on QCD corrections to various observables in semileptonic $b$ quark decays. For massless leptons in the final state we present effects of such corrections on triple differential distribution of leptons which are…
Decays of $B$ mesons with leptons in the final state offer an interesting laboratory to search for possible effects of physics from beyond the Standard Model. In view of puzzling patterns in experimental data, the violation of lepton…
We examine the exclusive rare decays of $B \to K_{0}^*(1430)\ell\bar{\ell} $ with $K_{0}^*(1430)$ being the p-wave scalar meson and $\ell=\nu,e,\mu,\tau$ in the standard model. The form factors for the $B\to K_{0}^{*}$ transition matrix…
In this note, recent results of studies of semileptonic B meson decays from \babar are discussed and preliminary results given. In particular, a recent measurement of $\mathcal{B}(B \to D^{(*)}\tau \nu)$ and the ratio $\mathcal{B}(B \to…
In a scenario in which fourth generation fermions exist, we study effects of new physics on the differential decay width, forward-backward asymmetry $A_{\text{FB}}$ and integrated branching ratio for $B\to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay with…
It is possible that there are additional vector-like generations where the quarks have mass terms that do not originate from weak symmetry breaking, but the leptons only get mass through weak symmetry breaking. We discuss the impact that…
We find evidence for the semileptonic baryonic decay $B^-\to p\bar p\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e,\mu$), based on a data sample of 772 million $B\bar B$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
The contribution of the fourth generation quarks to the rare (B_s -> l^+ l^-) and (B_s -> l^+ l^- gamma) decays are studied. Constraints on the extended Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements |V_{tb} V_{ts}*| and |V_{t'b} V_{t's}*| are…
We analyze the new physics effects in semileptonic $\bar{B_s} \to K^{*+}(\to K\pi) \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decay induced by the $b \to u \ell \nu_{\ell}$ quark level transition. We consider the vector, scalar and tensor new physics Lorentz…
Very compelling deviations in the recently observed lepton nonuniversality observables $\big (R_{D^{(*)}}, R_{K^{(*)}}, R_{J/\psi} \big )$ of semileptonic $B$ meson decays from their Standard Model predictions hint towards the presence of…
Semi-leptonic and leptonic decays of B-mesons are important probes for testing SM and theories beyond it because of their relative cleanliness and far less theoretical uncertainties. In semi-leptonic decays based on quark level transition…
A generalization of the parton-like formula is used for the first time to find the differential distributions in the inclusive semileptonic weak decays of the B meson. The main features of this new approach are the treatment of the b-quark…
We compute the differential and total rate of the semileptonic decay of polarized top-quarks $t\to \ell \nu_\ell + b{\rm jet} + {\rm jet}$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD coupling with an off-shell intermediate $W$ boson. We…
