Motivated by the first measurement on $\mathcal{B}(B_s\to\phi \mu^+\mu^-)$ by the CDF Collaboration, we study the supersymmetric effects in semi-leptonic $B_s\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-$ decay. In our evaluations, we analyze the dependences of the…

We present a general analysis of B_{s,d}-> l^+ l^- and K_L -> l^+ l^- decays in supersymmetric models with non-minimal sources of flavour mixing. In spite of the existing constraints on off-diagonal squark mass terms, these modes could…

It is well known that the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can enhance Br[B_{d,s}->mu^+ mu^-] by orders of magnitude, even if we assume the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix to be the only source of flavour violation. Of…

We discuss the status of $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ decays in the post-$R_{K^{(*)}}$ era. The recent LHCb update of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ measurements which are now compatible with the Standard Model, constrain new physics contributions to be…

We examine the potentially very promising signal $B_s\to \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ in supersymmetry with large $\tan\beta$ in a {\em top-down} approach starting from the best fits of an SO(10)-like model studied recently. Our results go beyond…

We propose a set of new optimized observables using penguin mediated $\bar{B}_d$ and $\bar{B}_s$ decays: ${\bar B}_{d,s} \to K^{*0} \bar{K}^{*0}$, ${\bar B}_{d,s} \to K^{0} \bar{K}^{0}$, ${\bar B}_{d,s} \to K^{0} \bar{K}^{*0}$ and ${\bar…

The weak decays of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda l^{+} l^{-}$ ($l=e, \mu$) are investigated in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and also in Supersymmetric (SUSY) SO(10) Grand Unified Models. In MSSM the special attention is paid to the…
