Following the updated measurement of the lepton flavour universality (LFU) ratio R_K in B -> Kll decays by LHCb, as well as a number of further measurements, e.g. R_K* by Belle and B_s -> mu mu by ATLAS, we analyse the global status of new…

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 LHCb Collaboration's measurement of R_K = B(B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-)/B(B+ -> K+ e+e-) lies 2.6 sigma below the Standard Model prediction. Several groups suggest this deficit to result from new lepton non-universal interactions of muons. But…

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…

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration provided updated measurements for the lepton flavour ratios $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$. The currently observed values align with the predictions of the standard model. In light of these recent updates, our…

We summarize recent b -> s mu mu results from the CDF experiment based on the full 9.6 fb-1 dataset collected in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. The decays analyzed are; B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-, B0 -> K*0(892) mu+ mu-, B0 -> K0_s mu+ mu-,…

Recently the semileptonic decays $B\to X_s e^+ e^-$, $B\to X_s \mu^+ \mu^-$ in generic supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model have been studied in ref.~\cite{noi}. In this talk I review the main points of this analysis. SUSY…

Using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian, the branching ratio of the (B -> K^* l^+ l^-) decay, when K^* meson is longitudinally or transversally polarized, is presented. The dependence of the branching ratio on the…

We show that present experimental constraints on B_s -> mu+ mu- decay and the CDMS upper limit on the cold dark matter elastic scattering cross section already have significant impact on the parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric…

We study the impact of the measurements of three sets of observables on the parameter space of the constrained minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (cMSSM), its slightly general variant, the non-universal scalar model (NUSM), and some…

We explore supersymmetric contributions to the decay $K_S^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$, in light of current experimental data. The Standard Model (SM) predicts $\mathcal{B}(K_S^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-)\approx5\times 10^{-12}$. We find that…

The well-known problem of the unknown power corrections within QCD improved factorisation leaves the interpretation of the so-called LHCb anomalies in the angular observables of B-->K* mu+ mu- as an open problem. In order to contribute to…

We study B_s --> mu+ mu- in the context of the R-parity violating minimal supergravity in the high tan beta regime. We find that the lowest value of the branching ratio can go well below the present LHCb sensitivity and hence B_s --> mu+…

Studies of rare decays play an important role in the search of physics beyond the standard model. New particles may participate in the loop processes and can be probed by seeing any deviations from the standard model predictions. The very…

Recently, the LHCb collaboration reported the first evidence for the decay $B_s^0 \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$. A branching ratio of $\mathcal{B}(B_s^0 \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-) = (3.2^{+1.5}_{-1.2}) \times 10^{-9}$ is given. Using the newest…
