The anomalies in the measurements of $R_D$ and $R_{D^*}$ continue to provide motivation for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this work, we assume the new physics Wilson coefficients to be complex and find their values by doing a global…
For any new physics possibly emerging in the future B experiments, the problem is how to extract the signals from the SM background. We consider the decay $b\to s s\bar d$ which is very small in the SM. In the MSSM this decay is possibly…
We use the approximate SU(3) flavor symmetry of the strong interaction to put bounds on the CP asymmetries in $b \to s$ decays of the $B^0_d$ and $B^+_u$ mesons. We extend the work of \cite{Grossman:2003qp} to include all relevant $B \to…
Polarization observables in top quark decays are sensitive probes of possible new physics contributions to the interactions of the heavy third generation quarks. Within an effective theory approach such new physics contributions can be…
The basic parameters of supersymmetric theories can be determined at future e^+e^- linear colliders with high precision. We investigate in this report how polarisation measurements in \tilde{\tau} and \tilde{t} or \tilde{b} decays to \tau…
I discuss three B physics results with potential for exhibiting new flavour-changing interactions: (1) the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B\to J/\psi K_S decay; (2) branching fractions and CP asymmetries in B\to \pi\pi, \pi K decays; (3)…
The lepton polarization asymmetry in the B\to\ell^{+}\ell^{-} decay, when one of the leptons is polarized, is investigated using the most general form of the effective Hamiltonian. The sensitivity of the asymmetry to the new Wilson…
The semitauonic $B_c^- \to J/\psi \tau^-\bar{\nu}_\tau$ decay is optimal to scrutinize possible new physics effects in $b \to c \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau$ transitions as indicated by the current data on $R(D^{(*)})$ anomalies. In this work, we…
We consider new-physics (NP) contributions to the decay t -> b \bar{b} c. We parameterize the NP couplings by an effective Lagrangian consisting of 10 Lorentz structures. We show that the presence of NP can be detected through the…
Using 1.0 fb^{-1} of pp collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}=7 TeV with the LHCb detector, measurements of the polarization amplitudes, strong phase difference and triple product asymmetries in the B_s^0 -> phi phi…
The group-theoretical classification of trion states is presented. It is based on considerations of products of irreducible representations of the 2D translation group. For a given BvK period N degeneracy of obtained states is N^2. Trions…
Since the degree of polarization of the vector particle in semileptonic decay strongly influences the decay width of the particles, it can be used as a measure of CKM matrix elements. We show that |V_{cb}| can be determined from the…
We show that diagonalization, products and lower truncations preserve the property of being a denormalized volume polynomial. We also discuss an application to poset inequalities.
In this paper, we examine B -> VT decays (V is a vector and T is a tensor meson), whose final-state particles can have transverse or longitudinal polarization. Measurements have been made of B -> \phi K_2^*, and it is found that fT/fL is…
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 discuss hard rescattering effects that can be measured using CP-even, T$_{\rm N}$-odd triple-product observables in polarized $Z$ decays to three jets. We show that the standard model contributions, from both QCD and electroweak…
Kinematical distributions of decay products of the top quark carry information on the polarisation of the top as well as on any possible new physics in the decay of the top quark. We construct observables in the form of asymmetries in the…
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…
We discuss the quantum mechanics of B-factory experiments, and that of neutral K or B decay. Predictions for the processes to be studied at the B factories can be made through an approach based on amplitudes, rather than on wave functions.…
Transitions of the type $b \to s l^+ l^-$ are flavour changing neutral current processes where new physics can enter in competing loop diagrams with respect to the Standard Model contributions. In these decays several observables sensitive…
