We study the charmless two-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda (\phi,\eta^{(\prime)})$ and three-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda K^+K^- $ decays. We obtain ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to \Lambda\phi)=(3.53\pm 0.24)\times 10^{-6}$ to agree with the recent LHCb…
We study the forward-backward and the CP-violating asymmetries (both time-independent and time-dependent) in rare semileptonic $B_d\to\rho^0 l^+l^-$, $B_s\to\phi l^+l^-$, and radiative leptonic $B_{d,s}\to \gamma l^+l^-$ decays and…
This study examines the rare decay $B \to K_0^*(1430)\,\ell^+ \ell^-$ as a possible probe for new physics beyond the standard model (SM). We first analyze this channel within the SM and then include scalar leptoquark (LQ) contributions. We…
