The relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach with the QCD-motivate potential is employed for the calculation of the form factors of the $\Lambda_c\to p$ rare weak transitions. Their momentum dependence is explicitly…
Top quark decays are of particular interest as a mean to test the standard model (SM) predictions, both for the dominant ($t\to b+W$) and rare decays ($t\to q+W, cV, cVV,c\phi^0,bWZ$). As the latter are highly suppressed, they become an…
The topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts several pseudo-scalars called top-pions and at loop level they can induce the FCNC top quark decay t->cgg which is extremely suppressed in the Standard Model (SM). We find that in the…
The top quark decay process $\tcups$ is studied in the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with conserved and violated $R-$parity. In dealing with the heavy quarkonium, $\ups$, production, we take both color-singlet…
Since its discovery, the top quark has never been produced and studied in an environment as clean as that predicted for $e^+e^-$ collisions at future colliders. Details of the top quark's properties, completely unattainable in hadronic…
We discuss the exclusive radiative decays B -> K* gamma and B -> rho gamma in QCD factorization within the Standard Model. The analysis is based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. Our results for these decays are complete to next-to-leading…
We calculate, for the first time using unquenched lattice QCD, form factors for the rare decay B -> Kll in and beyond the Standard Model. Our lattice QCD calculation utilizes a nonrelativistic QCD formulation for the b valence quarks, the…
We investigate the fermionic decays of top squarks tilde t_{1,2} and bottom squarks tilde b_{1,2}$ in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters M_1, mu, A_t and A_b . In the analysis we particularly take into account…
A decay rate asymmetry of the top quark is discussed within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model. Although new sources of CP violation in this model are severely constrained from the electric dipole moments of the neutron and…
We estimate the contributions of higher K-resonances to the radiative rare decays b -> s gamma. We use the spin symmetry for heavy quarks to reduce the number of independent form factors to four Isgur-Wise functions, which are estimated…
Recent disagreement between experimental measurments of CP violating asymmetry in D -> K+ K- and D ->pi+ pi- and theoretical Standard model expectation motivated many studies within the Standard model and beyond. Rare charm decays offer new…
Rare (t -> c g g) decay can only appear at loop level in the Standard Model (SM), and naturally they are strongly suppressed. These flavor changing decays induced by the mediation of spin-0 and spin-2 unparticles, can appear at tree level…
We survey all possible supersymmetric three-body decays of the top quark in the framework of the MSSM and present detailed numerical analyses of the most relevant cases. Although the two-body channels are generally dominant, it is not…
We argue that the $t \bar t$ production asymmetry observed at the tevatron might be simply explained if the standard $SU(3)_c$ QCD theory is extended to $SU(N_c)$ which is spontaneously broken at a scale just above the weak scale. The…
The spectroscopic parameters and decay channels of the doubly charged scalar, pseudoscalar and axial-vector charm-strange tetraquarks $Z_{ \overline{c}s}=[sd][\overline u \overline c]$ are explored within framework of the QCD sum rule. The…
In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT), the mirror quarks have flavor structures and will contribute to the top quark flavor changing neutral current. In this work, we perform an extensive investigation of the top quark rare…
The branching ratio of the electromagnetic rare decays $\eta\to\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ and $\eta^\prime\to (\pi^0,\eta)\gamma\gamma$ are analysed in terms of scalar and vector meson exchange contributions using the frameworks of the Linear Sigma…
We discuss possible non-standard contributions to the top-quark width, particularly the virtual effects on the standard decay $t\rightarrow W^+\,b$ within the context of the MSSM. We also place a renewed emphasis on the unconventional mode…
Mass and width of a hidden charm-bottom axial-vector structure $T$ containing $bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ quarks are calculated in QCD sum rule framework. It is treated as a diquark-antidiquark state built of scalar diquark and…
We apply, to the new OPAL data on V+A strange spectral functions, a suitable combination of QCD spectral sum rules directly sensitive to the combination of strange quark (m_s) and tachyonic gluon (\lambda^2) masses . Using the mean value of…
