With their 2010-2011 data set, the LHC experiments have started their quest to observe the rare decays B0_{s/d} -> mu+ mu-. This study will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics (NP) effects. NP discovery potential lies as well in…
We investigate the potential of rare hyperon decays to probe the short distance structure in the $s\to d\nu\bar\nu$ and $s\to d\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. Hyperon decays into neutrinos ($B_1\to B_2\nu\bar\nu$) can be reliably predicted by…
In the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model, we perform a complete one-loop computation of the short-distance Wilson coefficients $C_{7,9,10}^{(\prime)}$, which are the most relevant ones for $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. It is found that,…
We quantify the ability of B-Factories to observe supersymmetric contributions to the rare decays B -> X_s \gamma and B -> X_s l+ l-. A global fit to the Wilson coefficients which contribute to these decays is performed from Monte Carlo…
In the wake of exploring uncertainty in the full angular distribution of the $B\to K\pi+\mu^+\mu^-$ caused by the presence of the intermediate scalar $K^\ast_0$ meson, we perform the straightforward calculation of the $B(B_s)\to S$ (S is a…
In 2020, the LHCb collaboration reported the exclusive branching fractions for the channels $B_s^0 \to D_s^{(*)-}\mu^+\nu_\mu$ for the very first time. In view of these observations, we have recently reported the form factors and branching…
The persistent anomalies observed in $B$ mesons related to $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ transitions point to the potential for new physics beyond the Standard Model. To explore this further, we conduct an analysis of the exclusive semileptonic…
We analyse the constraints on dimension-six Delta F=1 effective operators in models respecting the MFV hypothesis, both in the one-Higgs doublet case and in the two-Higgs doublet scenario with large tan beta. The constraints are derived…
Measurements from the LHCb experiment and $B$ factories have revealed several discrepancies in angular observables of rare semileptonic $B$ decays involving the quark-level transition $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$. In this work, we conduct a…
The LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider will soon allow us to enter a new era in the exploration of B_s decays. A particularly promising channel for the search of "new physics" is B^0_s -> mu^+ mu^-. The systematic key…
The rare decays B_s -> \mu^+\mu^- and B -> K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^- are sensitive to new particles and couplings via their interferences with the standard model contributions. Recently, the upper bound on B(B_s -> \mu^+\mu^-) has been improved…
Recently LHCb has announced a discrepancy of 3.7 sigma in one of the theoretically clean observables accessible through studies of angular correlations in B->K*mu+mu-. We point out that in the most minimal Z' setup that can address this…
We report on a calculation of Higgs-boson contributions to the decays B_s -> l^+l^- and B -> K l^+l^- (l=e, mu) which are governed by the effective Hamiltonian describing b -> s l^+ l^-. Compact formulae for the Wilson coefficients are…
We present a general analysis of the lepton polarizations in the rare Bs ->\gamma \ell^+ \ell^- decays by using the most general model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian. The sensitivity of the longitudinal, transverse and normal…
The most general model-independent analysis of the rare $B$ decay, $\Bsll$, is presented. There are ten independent local four-Fermi interactions which may contribute to this process. The branching ratio, the forward-backward asymmetry, and…
Using the heavy quark effective theory framework put forward by Grinstein and Pirjol we work out predictions for B -> K* l+ l-, l = (e, mu), decays for a softly recoiling K*, i.e., for large dilepton masses sqrt{q^2} of the order of the…
We perform a study of the impact of the recently released limits on BR(Bs -> mu+ mu-) by LHCb and CMS on several SUSY models. We show that the obtained constraints can be superior to those which are derived from direct searches for SUSY…
$B$ decays proceeding via $b\to c\ell\nu$ transitions with $\ell=e$ or $\mu$ are tree-level processes in the Standard Model. They are used to measure the CKM element $V_{cb}$, as such forming an important ingredient in the determination of…
Studies of rare decays play an important role in the search of physics beyond the standard model. New particles may participate in the loop processes and can be probed by seeing any deviations from the standard model predictions. The very…
We update constraints from B physics observables on the parameters of the MSSM and the NMSSM, combining them with LEP constraints. Presently available SM and Susy radiative corrections are included in the calculations, which will be made…
