We present a detailed calculation on the $B\to K^*$ transition form factors (TFFs), $A_{0,1,2}$, $V$ and $T_{1,2,3}$, within the QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR). To suppress the contributions from high-twist light-cone distribution…

We determine the ability of future experiments to observe supersymmetric contributions to the rare decays $B \to X_s \gamma$ and $B \to X_s l^+l^-$. A global fit to the Wilson coefficients which contribute to these decays is performed from…
The $B\to K^*\mu\mu$ decay exhibits deviations with respect to Standard Model expectations and the measurement of the ratio $R_K$ hints at a violation of lepton-flavour universality in $B\to K\ell\ell$ transitions. Both effects can be…
In this paper we first calculate the form factors of $B \to (\pi,K)$ and $B_s \to K $ transitions by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach with the inclusion of the next-to-leading-order(NLO) corrections, and then we…
The form factors of semileptonic $B_{(s)}\to a_{1}(K_1)\, \ell^{+}\ell^{-}$, $ \ell=\tau,\mu,e$ transitions are investigated in the framework of the light-cone sum rules with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes, which play an important role…
We study the semileptonic decays B -> Xs e+ e- and B -> Xs mu+ mu- in generic supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. SUSY effects are parameterized using the mass insertion approximation formalism and differences with the…
We study the rare semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons induced by $b \to s \nu \bar{\nu}$ as well as $b \to s l^+ l^-$ transitions in the scalar leptoquark model where the leptoquarks transform as $(3,2,7/6)$ and $(3,2,1/6)$ under the standard…
We perform a detailed study of the $\text{b} \to \text{c} \tau \nu$ and $\text{b} \to \text{s} l^+ l^-$ processes in a minimal flipped 331 model based on the $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_N$ gauge symmetry. The non universal $SU(3)_L…
Long distance effects are studied in the rare exclusive semileptonic $B_{(d,s)}\to V \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays, where $V$ denotes a $K^*$ or $\phi$ meson. The form factors, which describe the meson transition amplitudes in the effective…

We report a measurement of the branching fraction of the exclusive charmless semileptonic decay B+ --> omega l+ nu, where l is either an electron or a muon. We use samples of B+ mesons tagged by a reconstructed charmed semileptonic decay of…
We consider the axial-vector mesons $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ as a mixture of two $|^3P_1\rangle$ and $|^1P_1\rangle$ states with the mixing angle $\theta$ that equal to $(-34\pm 13)^\circ$. We calculate the light-front distribution…
