We consider the possibility that physics beyond the standard model contributes to the decays B -> V1 V2, where V1 and V2 are vector mesons. We show that a time-dependent angular analysis of B -> V1 V2 decays provides many tests for this new…
We analyse present constraints on the SM parameter space and derive, in a model independent way, various bounds on New Physics contributions to $B_d^0$--$\bar B_d^0$ and $B_s^0$--$\bar B_s^0$ mixings. Our analyses include information on a…
The baryonic $b\to s$ transition $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^{(*)}\nu{\bar\nu}$ is analyzed. We combine the mesonic counterpart $B^+\to K^+\nu{\bar\nu}$ and $B^0\to K^{*0}\nu{\bar\nu}$ as well as other observables involving $B$ mesons like…
We study the branching fractions and the lepton polarization asymmetries of rare $B \to X_s \tau^+ \tau^-$ and $B \to K^{(*)} \tau^+ \tau^-$ modes within the Standard Model and in the Appelquist-Cheng-Dobrescu model, which is a New Physics…
In this work we consider the implications of current $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell=e,\,\mu$) measurements on several $B \to K^* \tau^+ \tau^-$ observables under the assumption that the possible new physics can have both universal as well…
We study the longitudinal, transverse, and normal polarization components of the tau lepton in the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(\ast)} \tau^- \bar\nu_{\tau}$ and discuss their role in searching for new physics (NP) beyond the standard model…
In $B_c^- \to J/\psi (\to \mu^+ \mu^-)\tau^-\bar{\nu}_\tau$ decay, the three-momentum $\boldsymbol{p}_{\tau^-}$ cannot be determined accurately due to the decay products of $\tau^-$ inevitably include an undetected $\nu_{\tau}$. As a…
We study the semileptonic decays of the $B_c$ meson into final charmonium states within the standard model and beyond. The relevant hadronic transition form factors are calculated in the framework of the covariant confined quark model…
We perform a model-independent global fit to all germane and updated $b \to s \ell \ell$ ($\ell=e,\,\mu$) data assuming new physics couplings to be complex. Under the approximation that new physics universally affects muon and electron…
We consider the three CP-conserving dimension-6 operators that encode the leading new-physics effects in the triple gauge couplings. The contributions to the standard-model electromagnetic dipole and semi-leptonic vector and axial-vector…
We present the most general (six-helicity) angular analysis of Bs -> V_1 (-> P_1P'_1) V_2 (-> P_2P'_2) (V_i is a vector meson, and P_i, P'_i are pseudoscalars). We focus on final states accessible to both Bs and Bsbar -- these are mainly…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
The semi-leptonic baryonic $b\to s$ decay, $\Lambda_b\rightarrow \Lambda \ell^+\ell^-$, has been studied and new angular observables and asymmetries have been proposed which can test the presence of new physics beyond the standard model.
Motivated by the possible discrepancy between the observed CP asymmetry and that of standard model expectation in the decay mode B^0 -> phi K_S, we study the corresponding vector vector decay mode B^0 -> phi K^*. In order to obtain decisive…
A comparative study of the exclusive rare $B_{c}\rightarrow D_{s}^{\ast}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ ($\ell=\mu, \tau$) decays has been made in the minimal supersymmetric models (MSSM) and the SUSY SO(10) GUT models. In this context, various physical…
Latest measurement of the ratio of branching ratios $R_D = \mathcal B(B \to D\,\tau\,\nu)/\mathcal B(B \to D\,l\,\nu)$ and $R_{D^{\ast}} = \mathcal B(B \to D^{\ast}\,\tau\,\nu)/\mathcal B(B \to D^{\ast}\,l\,\nu)$, where $l$ is either an…
The new angular analysis of the decay $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ recently presented by the LHCb Collaboration still indicates some tensions with the Standard Model predictions. There are several ongoing analyses to solve the problem of…
We present an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within the Standard Model (SM), in a model-independent manner, and in a number of new physics (NP) models. Combining new form factor…
We parametrize phenomenologically possible new physics effects and calculate their influence on the invariant dilepton mass spectrum and the Dalitz plot for the decays $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to K^\ast \ell^+ \ell^-$. Especially the…
The inclusion of higher-dimensional gauge invariant operators induces new Lorentz structures in Higgs couplings with electroweak gauge boson pairs. This in principle affects the kinematics of Higgs production and decay, thereby modifying…
