The asymmetries ${\cal A}_k \equiv [\Gamma(\twddec) -\Gamma(\tbwddec)] /[\Gamma(\twddec) + \Gamma(\tbwddec)]$ in the partial widths of the top quark decays are discussed within the Standard Model (SM), the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) and…

We explore corrections to electroweak parameters in the context of Extended Technicolor (ETC) models in which the ETC gauge-boson which generates the top-quark mass carries weak $SU(2)$ charge. For $m_t \sim 150$ GeV there exist potentially…

We examine flavour-changing neutral-current decays of the top quark, $t\to q \gamma$, $t \to qZ$, $t \to q H$, and $ t\to q g$ (with $q=u, c$), in the Alternative Left-Right Model, a left right-symmetric model featuring exotic quarks and…

In this work, we propose to search for the exotic doubly charmed meson $T_{cc}^+$ and its analog $T_{cc\bar{s}}^+$ in $B_c^+$ decays, which provide a good environment for the formation of the exotic state containing double charm quarks.…

The constraints on the minimal supergravity model from the b->s+\gamma decay are studied. A large domain in the parameter space for the model satisfies the CLEO bound, BR(b->s+\gamma)<5.4X10^{-4}. However, the allowed domain is expected to…

Many standard model extensions that address the hierarchy problem contain Dirac-fermion partners of the top quark, which are typically expected around the TeV scale. Searches for these vector-like quarks mostly focus on their decay into…

We consider the electroweak production of a top quark in association with a photon at the LHC to probe the electroweak top quark couplings (t$\bar{\text{t}}\gamma$) as well as the triple gauge boson couplings (WW$\gamma$). The study is…

We examine the rare decays $B\to X_s\tau^+\tau^-$ and $B_s\to\tau^+\tau^- \gamma$ in the framework of technicolor with scalars. The contributions from both the neutral and charged scalars predicted in this model are evaluated. We find that…

Measurements at B factories have provided important constraints on new physics in several rare processes involving the B meson. New Physics, if present in the b quark sector may also affect the top sector. In an effective Lagrangian…

The form factors of the rare $\Lambda_b\to n l^+l^-$ decays are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark-diquark picture of baryons with the consistent account of the relativistic effects. Their momentum transfer squared…

We study the rare decays of $B_c^+\to D_{q}^{(*)+}l\bar{l}$ ($q=d,s$ and $l=\nu_l,e,\mu,\tau)$ in the standard model. The form factors are evaluated in the light front and constituent quark models, respectively. We find that the decay…

In these proceedings we explore the possibility of new physics manifesting itself in rare top quark decays. In particular, we adopt an effective theory description of FCNC t -> q V top quark decays and possible deviations from the SM form…

We study the rare top-quark decay t->ch, where h is a generic Higgs boson, at a linear collider. If kinematically accessible, all models contain this decay at some level due to quark flavor mixing. Some models, such as Model III of the…

In supersymmetric models with radiatively-driven naturalness and light higgsinos, the top squarks may lie in the 0.5- 3TeV range and thus only a fraction of natural parameter space is accessible to LHC searches. We outline the range of top…

In the light of the top quark discovered very recently by CDF, we investigate the possibility of narrowing down the allowed top quark masses by combining for the first time only two strongest constraints present in the no-scale $SU(5)\times…

We review the highlights of quark mixing, particle-antiparticle mixing, CP violation and rare K- and B-decays in the Standard Model. The top quark discovery, the precise measurement of its mass, the improved knowledge of the couplings…

The measurements of rare decays are highly sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. In this article limits on the branching ratios of the decays B0s -> mu+mu-, D0 -> mu+mu- and D+ -> pi+mu+mu- are presented. Furthermore the first…

We present a systematic comparison of different approaches for the modeling of $t\bar{t}\gamma$ final states with leptonic decays at the LHC. On the one hand, we consider a complete calculation at NLO QCD accuracy which includes all…

We analyze the rare and flavor changing decay of the top quark into a charm quark and a gauge boson in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT). We calculate the one-loop level contributions from the T-parity odd mirror quarks and gauge…
