I investigate production and decay of heavy neutral gauge bosons Z' in GUT-inspired U(1)' groups and in the Sequential Standard Model. In particular, decays into supersymmetric particles, such as slepton, chargino and neutralino pairs, as…
We study in a model-independent way new neutral and charged vector bosons that could give observable signals with leptonic final states at the LHC. We show, in particular, that a charged vector W' decaying into lepton plus neutrino is…
The decays of the $Z_b(10610)$ and the $Z_b(10650)$ to $\Upsilon(nS)\pi$, $h_b(mP)\pi$ and $\chi_{bJ}(mP)\gamma$ ($n=1,2,3$, $m=1,2$ and $J=0,1,2$) are investigated within a nonrelativistic effective field theory. It is argued that, while…
We study the process of neutrino decay to electron and $W$-boson in the external magnetic field using the semiclassical "worldline instanton" approach. Being interested only in the leading exponential factor, we make calculations in a toy…
We derive the kinematical constraints which characterize the decay of any massless particle in flat spacetime. We show that in perturbation theory the decay probabilities of photons and Yang-Mills bosons vanish to all orders; the decay…
A theoretical study of the polarization entanglement of two photons emitted in the decay of metastable ionic states is performed within the framework of density matrix theory and second-order perturbative approach. Particular attention is…
We investigate $ B_s^0\rightarrow l^+ l^-\gamma $ decays in a nonuniversal Z' model derived from extension of the standard model (SM). Considering the Z'-mediated flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) effects we calculate the branching…
If a new $Z'$ is discovered with a mass $\sim 1 \ TeV$ at LHC/SSC, its (rare) decays into two charged leptons plus missing transverse energy will probe the $Z'$ coupling to the lepton doublet $(\nu,e)_L$ and to $W^+W^-$, allowing further…
For the vertex corrections to the partial decay rate $\Gamma(Z \to b\bar{b})$ involving the top quark only the leading terms of order $\alpha\alpha_s$ in the $1/M_t$ expansion are known. In this work we compute the missing next-to-leading…
We complete the determination of the parapositronium decay into three photons by evaluating amplitudes mediated by the $Z$ boson. We show that, contrary to the expectation that the extra mass scale $m_e$ may bring an enhancement to the…
The $Z\to \gamma \gamma$ and $Z\to gg$ decays are studied in the context of the renormalizable version of the Standard Model Extension. The $CPT$-odd $\bar{\psi}\gamma_5 \gamma^\mu b_\mu\psi$ bilinear interaction, which involves the…
The probability of Z-boson decay to a pair of charged fermions in a strong electromagnetic field, is calculated. On the basis of a method that employs exact solutions to relativistic wave equations for charged particles, analytic…
A brief pedagogical overview of the phenomenology of Z' gauge bosons is presented. Such particles can arise in various electroweak extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We provide a quick survey of a number of Z' models, review the current…
Experimentalists have long sought a method that allows them to control as they like the branching ratios of an unstable particle decay and direct some decay to follow one specific desired channel without another. The powerful laser could…
A new technique is discussed that can be applied to $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon decays where decays with one missing particle can be discerned from background and their branching fractions determined, along with other properties of the decays.…
Decays of B mesons to states involving tau leptons can be used as a tool to search for the effects of new physics, such as those involving a charged Higgs boson. The experimental status of the decays B -> tau nu and B -> D^(*) tau nu is…
In the Standard Model, the photon emitted in b->s\gamma decays is predicted to be left-handed polarized. We discuss the types of New Physics which can produce a deviation from this prediction, focusing on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard…
We study the radiative decay of the $Z$ boson, $Z \to \mu^+\mu^-\gamma$, at the LHC, providing both Standard Model (SM) precision analysis and new physics projections. With detailed analysis of Run-2 and future HL-LHC performances, we…
The measurements of the $J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma p \overline{p}$ decays by the BES Collaboration indicate an enhancement at the $p \overline{p}$ threshold which, however, is not present in the J/$\psi$ decays into $\omega p \overline{p}$…
In the $SO(5)\times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification (GHU), Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited states of charged and neutral vector bosons, $W^{(1)}$, $W_R^{(1)}$, $Z^{(1)}$, $\gamma^{(1)}$ and $Z_R^{(1)}$, can be observed as $W'$ and $Z'$ signals in…
