The flavor-changing neutral current semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons provide an excellent platform for indirectly probing New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM). Recent measurements of lepton flavor universality (LFU) ratios such…
The rare flavour-changing neutral current decay $B_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is among the most important indirect probes of new physics at the LHC, as it is strongly suppressed in the Standard Model, very sensitive to new physics effects, and…
We calculate the decay widths and branching ratios of the extra neutral boson $Z^{\prime}$ predicted by the 331 bilepton model in the framework of two different particle contents. These calculations are performed taken into account oblique…
There are two sources that help to explain the $\text{R}_\text{K}$, $\text{R}_{\text{K}^*}$ anomalies in the MF331 model. The first is non-LFUV couplings of the new neutral gauge boson $\text{Z}^{\prime}$ with leptons,…
We derive new constraints on the quantities delta_{XY}^{ij}, X,Y=L,R, which parametrise the flavour-off-diagonal terms of the charged slepton mass matrix in the MSSM. Considering mass and anomalous magnetic moment of the electron we obtain…
We present an extensive analysis of Delta F=2 observables and of B -> X_s gamma in the framework of a specific Maximally Gauged Flavour (MGF) model of Grinstein et al. including all relevant contributions, in particular tree-level heavy…
Motivated by recent results by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations on the angular distribution of the $B \to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$ decay, we perform a state-of-the-art analysis of rare $B$ meson decays based on the $b \to s \mu \mu$ transition.…
A search for Bs -> mu+ mu- and B0 -> mu+ mu- decays is performed using 1.0 fb^-1 of pp collision data collected at \sqrt{s}=7 TeV with the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. For both decays the number of observed events is…
The anomalously large like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in semileptonic b-hadron decays recently measured by the D0 Collaboration may be hinting at the presence of CP-violating new physics in the mixing of B_s mesons. It has been suggested…
Among the particles being searched for at the LHC beyond the Standard Model are bileptons, which are doubly charged gauge bosons. Bileptons are predicted by several Standard Model extensions, including the so-called 331 models with $\beta =…
We study the phenomenology of simplified $Z^\prime$ models with a global $U(2)^3$ flavour symmetry in the quark sector, broken solely by the Standard Model Yukawa couplings. This flavour symmetry, known as less-minimal flavour violation,…
We juxtapose global fits of two bottom-up models (an $S_3$ scalar leptoquark model and a ${B_3-L_2}$ $Z^\prime$ model) of \bsll\ anomalies to flavour data in order to quantify statistical preference or lack thereof. The leptoquark model…
We derive limits on a class of new physics effects that are naturally present in grand unified theories based on extended gauge groups, and in particular in $E_6$ and $SO(10)$ models. We concentrate on $i$) the effects of the mixing of new…
We perform an analysis of the consequences of various new physics operators on the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decay modes mediated through $b \to s \ell _1 \ell _2$ transitions. We scrutinize the imprints of the (pseudo)scalar and…
The anomalous results of recent measurements on various $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ processes could be initial evidence of physics beyond the standard model (SM). Assuming this to be the case, we entertain the possibility that the underlying new…
Motivated by the first evidence of the B -> tau nu transition reported by Belle and by the precise DeltaM_{B_s} measurement by CDF, we analyse these and other low-energy observables in the framework of the MSSM at large tan(beta). We show…
In this article I report on new and updated measurements of the CP-violating parameter beta (phi_1), which is related to the phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing matrix of the electroweak interaction. Over the past few…
We consider phenomenological constraints on the mass $M_{Z^{\prime}}$ and the two mixing angles $\theta_R$ and $\xi$ of the neutral sector in a very general class of $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)$ models using electroweak data. We do…
There are indications of a possible breakdown of the standard model, suggesting that $\tau$ lepton interactions violate flavor universality. BABAR, Belle and LHCb report high ratios of $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$. There are long-standing excesses…
We use the recently derived CP phase dependent analytic results for the supersymmetric electro-weak correction to $g_{\mu}-2$ to constrain the explicit CP phases in softly broken supersymmetry using the new physics effect seen in the g-2…
