We study new physics effects on B decay processes including a final $\tau$ particle, namely $B \to D \tau \nu$ and $B \to \tau \nu$. An important feature of these processes is that a charged Higgs boson can contribute to the decay amplitude…
The considerable influx of new data on B decays offers opportunities to determine some of the smaller contributions to the decay process, such as suppressed diagrams, and to test the relations between decay amplitudes implied by (broken)…

Measurements from the LHCb experiment and $B$ factories have revealed several discrepancies in angular observables of rare semileptonic $B$ decays involving the quark-level transition $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$. In this work, we conduct a…
We present, for the first time, the six-fold differential decay density expression for $\Lambda^0_b\to\Lambda^+_{c} l^- \bar{\nu}_{l}$, taking into account the polarisation of the $\Lambda^0_b$ baryon and a complete basis of new physics…
We determine the ability of future experiments to observe supersymmetric contributions to the rare decays $B \to X_s \gamma$ and $B \to X_s l^+l^-$. A global fit to the Wilson coefficients which contribute to these decays is performed from…

A search for the decays Bs -> mu+ mu- and B0 -> mu+ mu- is performed with 0.37 fb^-1 of pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011. The upper limits on the branching fractions are BR (Bs -> mu+ mu-) < 1.6 x…
$B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^- \gamma$, measured at high $q^2$ as a partially reconstructed decay, can probe the origin of the existing discrepancies in semi-leptonic $b \to s$ and $b \to c$ decays. We perform a complete study of this possibility. We…

We analyze the forward-backward asymmetry of the decays B to (pi,K) l^+ l^- with l = mu or tau in the framework of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find that, the asymmetry is enhanced at large tan beta and depends…
B physics represents a privileged place to look for supersymmetry (SUSY) through its virtual effects. Here we discuss rare B decays ($b \to s \gamma$, $b \to s g$, $b \to s l^{+} l^{-}$) and $B-\bar{B}$ oscillations in the context of…
During the last few years the Tevatron has dramatically improved the bounds on rare B-meson decays into two leptons. In the case of B_s --> mu+ mu-, the current bound is only ten times greater than the Standard Model expectation.…
