We compute the complete one-loop contributions to low-energy charged current weak interaction observables in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We obtain the constraints on the MSSM parameter space which arise when precision…
Using 467 $fb^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected with the BaBar detector, we measure $\frac{{\cal{B}}(\tau^- \to \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu \nu_\tau)}{{\cal{B}}(\tau^- \to e^- \bar{\nu}_e \nu_\tau)} = (0.9796 \pm 0.0016 \pm 0.0036)$,…
High-precision determinations of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements are essential probes of physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Current precision tests show a deficit in the first row unitarity relation. At the current…
The supersymmetric one-loop contribution to the quark-lepton universality violation in the low-energy charged current weak interactions is studied. It is shown that the recent experimental data with the 1-$\sigma$ deviation from the…
The present status of universality tests of the weak couplings for quarks and leptons is reviewed, with updated information for the muon lifetime and for first-row inputs in the CKM matrix. We discuss the impact of this high-precision SM…
Recently, a violation of the CKM unitarity condition has been reported in the latest charm-meson data and the latest lattice results, once the universal electroweak correction is taken into account. In this article, we analytically derive…
We review the radiative corrections to the $\tau \to P (P) \nu_\tau [\gamma]$ decays and their implications for several SM tests: lepton universality, CKM unitarity and non-standard interactions.
Without a doubt the ratios $R_{\tau / P}\equiv \Gamma \left( \tau \to P \nu_{\tau}[\gamma] \right) / \Gamma \left(P\to \mu \nu_{\mu}[\gamma]\right)$ ($P=\pi,K$) give a convenient scenario to test the lepton universality, the CKM unitarity…
I present the status of the elements and parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix and summarise the related theoretical progress since "Lepton-Photon 2003". One finds |V_{us}| = 0.2227 +/- 0.0017 from K and tau decays and…
After the recent high precision determinations of $V_{us}$ and $V_{ud}$, the first row of the CKM matrix shows more than $4\sigma$ deviation from unitarity. Two possible scenarios beyond the Standard Model can be investigated in order to…
We discuss supersymmetric contributions to the electroweak precision measurements in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model for two cases: the quark-lepton universality violation $\delta_{q\ell}$ in charged currents and the ratio…
In the N-B-LSSM, we calculate the electric dipole moments (EDMs) of lepton and neutron at the one loop level via the Mass Insertion Approximation (MIA). In the Standard Model (SM), charge parity (CP) violation originates only from the…
A modified neutrino sector could imprint a signature on precision measurements of the quark sector because many such measurements rely on the semi-leptonic decays of the charged currents. Currently, global fits of the determinations of the…
In this paper we compute one-loop corrections to masses and couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We present explicit formulae for the complete corrections and a set of compact approximations which hold over the unified…
We review the prospects of measurements of the CKM matrix elements corresponding to the first two generations of quarks, as well as measurements of leptonic and semileptonic charm meson decays at LHCb. We review the status of searches for…
In the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), fermion masses and Yukawa couplings receive radiative corrections at one loop from diagrams involving the supersymmetric particles. The corrections to the relation…
We evaluate the finite 1-loop threshold corrections, proportional to $tan\beta$, to the down quark mass matrix. These result in corrections to down quark masses and to Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa [CKM] matrix elements. The corrections to CKM…
We investigate the combined effect of neutrino masses and non-standard couplings on the various lepton spectra in $\mu$ and $\tau$ decays. We emphasize the energy spectra of the neutrinos, which can be measured in the new KARMEN experiment…
This article surveys the important questions attached to unitarity tests of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, with a focus on the direct determinations of the magnitude of CKM matrix elements. The current CKM anomalies are discussed and…
We compute O(alpha_s^2) QCD corrections to the lepton invariant mass spectrum in the decay b --> u l nu_l, relevant for the determination of the CKM matrix element |V_{ub}|. Our method can also be used to evaluate moments of the lepton…
