If physics beyond the standard model is present in B decays, experimental measurements seem to suggest that it principally affects those processes with significant b->s penguin amplitudes. It was recently argued that, in general, such…
In this work, we investigate the time-dependent angular analysis of $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi \phi$ decay to search for new physics signals via CP-violating observables. We work with a new physics Hamiltonian containing both left- and…
Recently, it was argued that new-physics (NP) effects in B decays can be approximately parametrized in terms of a few quantities. As a result, CP violation in the $B$ system allows one not only to detect the presence of new physics (NP),…
In this work, a comprehensive analysis for processes related to $b\to c\bar{u}q~(q=d, s)$ transitions are carried out, including new physics contributions. In light of a recent tension between branching fractions for $B_{(s)}\to…
At present, the measurements of $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $R_{J/\psi}$ hint at new physics (NP) in $b \to c \tau^- {\bar\nu}$ decays. The angular distribution of ${\bar B} \to D^* (\to D \pi) \, \tau^{-} {\bar\nu}_\tau$ would be useful for getting…
We perform a comprehensive study of the impact of new-physics operators with different Lorentz structures on decays involving the b -> s mu+ mu- transition. We examine the effects of new vector-axial vector (VA), scalar-pseudoscalar (SP)…
Measurements of the branching fractions of the semileptonic decays $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ and $B_c\to J/\psi\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ systematically exceed the Standard Model (SM) predictions, pointing to possible signals of new physics…
If new physics (NP) is present in B -> pi pi decays, it can affect the isospin I=2 or I=0 channels. In this paper, we discuss various methods for detecting and measuring this NP. The techniques have increasing amounts of theoretical…
Non-leptonic $B^0_s \rightarrow D_s^{\pm} K^{\mp}$ transitions are particularly interesting processes to test the Standard Model. As these decays occur via pure tree diagrams, they allow a theoretically clean determination of the angle…
Recently LHCb has measured the branching ratio of the rare decay of $B_s^0\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- $ as $2.9^{+1.1}_{-1.0} \times10^{-9}$ which is at par with the predicted standard model (SM) value. This result does not predict the absence…
We have analyzed how much the $CP$ angles to be measured at B factories can deviate from the geometrical ones defined in unitarity triangle under the existence of new physics. The measurements are given in rephasing invariant form. If KM…

Although recent experimental results in b-->s penguin process seem to be roughly consistent with the standard model predictions, there may be still large possibilities of new physics hiding in this processes. Therefore, here we investigate…
New physics effects in $B$ decays are routinely modeled through operators invariant under the strong and electromagnetic gauge symmetries. Assuming the scale for new physics is well above the electro-weak scale, we further require…
We study the semileptonic decays $B_s \to D_s^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}$ as a promising probe for new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). The extension of the SM is done through the introduction of four-fermion operators beyond the $V-A$…
In the Standard Model, the photon emitted in b->s\gamma decays is predicted to be left-handed polarized. We discuss the types of New Physics which can produce a deviation from this prediction, focusing on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard…
We consider the effect of new physics on the branching ratio of B_s--> l+ l- gamma where l=e,mu. If the new physics is of the form scalar/pseudoscalar, then it makes no contribution to B_s--> l+ l- gamma, unlike in the case of B_s--> l+ l-,…
We perform a time-dependent and time-integrated angular analysis of the decays $B^0\to\phi K^{*}(892)^0$, $\phi K^{*}_2(1430)^0$, and $\phi(K\pi)^{*0}_{0}$ with the final sample of about 465 million $\BB$ pairs recorded with the $\babar$…
We consider three possible scenarios of new physics in B^0_d-\bar{B}^0_d mixing and propose a simple framework for analyzing their effects. This framework allows us to study the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B_d decays ({\cal A}_{SL}) and…
The rare decay $B^0_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ plays a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. It is pointed out that the sizable decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the $B_s$-meson system affects this channel in a subtle way. As a…
