We examine the experimental observability of the decay mode $t \rightarrow c g$ at the Fermilab Tevatron via the flavor-changing neutral current vertex $t \bar c g$. We find that with the existing data, one should be able to probe the $t…

Using a $pp$ collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0~fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb detector, we present the first search for the strangeness-changing weak decay $\Xi_b^-\to\Lambda_b^0\pi^-$. No $b$ hadron…

This letter gathers a selection of Standard Model predictions issued from the metrology of the CKM parameters performed by the CKMfitter group. The selection includes purely leptonic decays of neutral and charged B, D and K mesons. In the…

We study rare leptonic decays of vector $B$ mesons in the scalar leptoquark and family non-universal $Z^\prime$ models. We constrain these new couplings by using the measured branching fractions of $B_{s,d} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ processes and…

Rare lepton decays of the B(s), D and K mesons are sensitive probes of New Physics. In particular, the search for the decays $B^0_(s) -> \mu^+ \mu^-$ provides information on the presence of new (pseudo-)scalar particles. LHCb is well suited…

We present recent CDF measurements of mass, lifetime and CP violation properties of B hadrons. The analyzes presented in this paper use up to 2.8/fb of data. CDF has already accumulated close to 5/fb of data which promises significant…

We report results from a search for the lepton flavor violating decays $B^0_{(s)}\to e^+\mu^-$, and the flavor-changing neutral-current decays $B^0_{(s)} \to e^+ e^-$. The analysis uses data corresponding to ${\rm 2 fb^{-1}}$ of integrated…

A new measurement of the b -> \Lambda_b production fraction multiplied by the \Lambda_b -> J/\psi \Lambda branching fraction was performed by the D0 experiment using 6.1 fb^{-1} of p\bar{p} collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. The result of…

Ratios of production fractions of $b$ hadrons are a dominant source of uncertainty in many LHC analyses, in particular in measurements with $B_s$ mesons. The currently used value for $f_s/f_d$ is based on a combination of hadronic and…

A search for the rare decays $B_s^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ is performed in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton…

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 implications of the latest measurement of the branching fraction of B($ b\rightarrow s \gamma $) of b hadrons, which is another signature of New Physics beyond Standard Model is presented here. The quark transitions $ b \rightarrow s $,…

While B0 and B+ mesons are well studied at B-factories, large samples of B0s mesons are only available at the Tevatron so far. Since the B0s meson consists of quarks of the second and third generation it provides a complementary probe for…

The Tevatron, with p p-bar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96TeV can produce all flavors of B hadrons and allows for unprecedented studies in the B physics sector. The CDF and D0 collaborations have more than 5 fb-1 of data recorded. I present here…
