(abridged) In the presence of a light WIMP (mass m_chi < 30 MeV), there are degeneracies among the WIMP's nature, its couplings to standard model particles, its mass, and the number of equivalent (additional) neutrinos, Delta N_nu. These…
In the light of the recent WMAP results we update the constraints on a class of non standard BBN models with a simultaneous combination of non standard neutrino distributions and extra effective number of neutrinos in the expansion rate.…
I discuss a new Physics scenario, the 331 model, based on the gauge group $SU(3)_c \times SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X$. In particular, I elaborate on correlations between flavour observables in the $B_d$ and $B_s$ systems that can help…
Leptophobic Z^\prime gauge boson appears naturally in many grand unified theories, such as flipped SU(5) or string-inspired E_6 models. This elusive particle easily escapes the direct/indirect detections because it does not couple to…
In this study, we apply LHC data to constrain the extension of the Standard Model by an anomaly-free $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge group; this model contains a new gauge boson ($Z^\prime$) and a scalar dark matter particle ($\phi_{\rm DM}$).…
We point out that the observed CP violation in Bd - bar{Bd} mixing, taking into account the measured ratio Delta Md / Delta Ms, the recently improved lattice value of the non-perturbative parameter BK and an additional effective suppression…
The anomalies in rare $B$ decays endure. We present results of an updated global analysis that takes into account the latest experimental input -- in particular the recent results on $R_K$ and BR$(B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-)$ -- and that…
New physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) with an extra neutral boson can be constrained from the observation of SN1987A, since the production of this neutral boson in a supernova (SN) could accelerate the SN cooling and potentially lead…
The apparent tensions emerging from the comparison of experimental data of the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and electron to the Standard Model predictions ($\Delta a_{\mu,e}$) could be interpreted as a potential signal of New…
In view of both the latest LHCb measurement of $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and the new $2.8\sigma$ deviation reported by Belle II on $B^{+}\to K^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decays, we present a fit to the $B$ meson anomalies for various one and two dimensional…
The semileptonic decays $\tau^- \to \mu^- M (M=\pi^0,\eta,\eta')$ could be sensitive probe for new physics scenarios with lepton flavor violation(LFV). Motivated by the recent Belle measurement, we investigate these decays in type III…
We perform a model-independent analysis of the data on branching ratios and CP asymmetries of $B\to\phi K$ and $B\to\eta^{(')} K^{(*)}$ modes. The present data is encouraging to look for indirect evidences of physics beyond the Standard…
We search for a new gauge boson $Z'$ that couples only to heavy leptons and their corresponding neutrinos in the process $e^{+} e^{-} \rightarrow Z'(\rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}) \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, using a 643 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected by…
We estimate, in a large class of scenarios, the sensitivity to new physics in B_d and B_s mixings achievable with 50 ab-1 of Belle II and 50 fb-1 of LHCb data. We find that current limits on new physics contributions in both B_{d,s} systems…
We discuss the impact of recent LHCb data on the B -> K* mu+mu- decay for New Physics searches. We use an optimised set of observables with a limited sensitivity to hadronic inputs (form factors), leading to a significant deviation from the…
The one-loop level mediated $t-> c \gamma$ decay is analyzed in the framework of 331 models, which induce three-level flavor-changing neutral currents mediated by an extra neutral gauge boson, Z', and a neutral scalar boson, \phi. These…
We analyse an inverse seesaw scenario with 3+3 gauge singlets. The flavour structure is determined by a flavour symmetry, Delta (3 n^2) or Delta (6 n^2), n integer, and CP and their residual groups among charged leptons and the neutral…
We present a detailed discussion of the current theoretical and experimental situation of the anomaly in the angular distribution of $B \to K^*(\to K\pi)\mu^+\mu^-$, observed at LHCb in the $1~\text{fb}^{-1}$ dataset and recently confirmed…
We analyze LEP and SLC data from the 1995 Winter Conferences for signals of new physics. We compare the data with the Standard Model (SM) as well as a number of test hypotheses concerning the nature of new physics: (i) nonstandard Zbb…
As is well known, $B^0_{d,s}$--$\bar B^0_{d,s}$ mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. The data obtained at the $e^+e^-$ $B$ factories have already provided valuable insights into the…
