We analyze the $\tau^-\to(K\pi)^-\nu_\tau$ decays within an effective field theory description of heavy new physics (NP) modifying the SM left-handed weak charged current and include refined SM input for the participant meson form factors…
The evaluation, systematic analysis and numerical study of the semileptonic $\tau$-lepton decays with two mesons in the final state has been made in the frame of the standard model extended by right handed neutrinos. In the analysis,…
We present selected new results on leptonic B meson decays from the BaBar experiment: searches for the decays B0->l+l-, B+->l+nu and B0->l+tau-, and B->Knunubar, where l=e or mu. The decay modes imply also their charge conjugations. We…
The BaBar Collaboration has recently reported the measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \tau^{-} \bar{\nu_\tau}$ to $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \ell^{-} \bar{\nu_\ell}$ which deviates from the Standard Model…

The hadronic form factors in semileptonic decays of the tau and low-energy e+ e- scattering into hadrons can be described accounting for the following fundamental features: the right chiral structure at low energies, the large-N_C limit of…
Analytic expressions are given for the $\tau$ decays into three charged leptons, $\tau\rta \ell\ell\overline \ell\nu_\tau\overline \nu_\ell$, where the $\ell$ are combinations of electrons and muons, and for the radiative decays $\tau\rta…
We study the five-body decays $\mu^- \to e^- e^+ e^- \nu_{\mu} \bar{\nu}_{e}$ and $\tau^- \to \ell^- \ell'^+\ell'^-\nu_{\tau}\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ for $\ell, \ell'=e, \mu$ within the Standard Model (SM) and in a general effective field theory…
The pure leptonic or semileptonic character of tau decays makes them a good laboratory to test the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic $\tau$ decay modes constitute an…

Evidence of a new particle with mass ~125 GeV decaying into a pair of tau leptons at the Large Hadron Collider spurs interest in ascertaining its spin in this channel. Here we present a comparative study between spin-0 and spin-2 nature of…
We establish improved upper limits on branching fractions for $B^{0}$ decays to final states where the decay products are purely invisible (i.e., no observable final state particles) and for final states where the only visible product is a…
