Various phenomena of physics beyond that of the Standard Model could occur at high scale. Ultra-high energy cosmic rays are the only particles available to explore scales above a few dozens of TeV. Although these explorations are much more…
In contrast with $B^0-\bar B^0$, $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing where the standard model (SM) contributions overwhelm that of new physics beyond standard model (BSM), a measured relatively large $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing where the SM contribution is…
I provide a (personal) review of the current hints for physics beyond the Standard Model, called ``anomalies'', obtained both at the intensity frontier (flavour and electroweak precision observables) and in direct LHC searches. This…
The exceptional precision attainable using modern spectroscopic techniques provides a promising avenue to search for signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model in tiny shifts of the energy levels of atoms and molecules. We briefly…
Rare decays of heavy-flavoured particles provide an ideal laboratory to look for deviations from the Standard Model, and explore energy regimes beyond the LHC reach. Decays proceeding via electroweak penguin diagrams are excellent probes to…
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…
We propose a new beam dump experiment at a future TeV-scale muon collider. A beam dump would be an economical and effective way to increase the discovery potential of the collider complex in a complementary regime. In this work we consider…
This report highlights the recent BESIII results related to the new physics searches motivated by the shortcomings of Standard Model, such as the exclusion of dark matter (DM). DM has so far been inferred only through astrophysical…

The status of several precisely measured electroweak parameters is reviewed. Natural relations among them are shown to constrain the Higgs mass, m_H, as well as various ``New Physics'' effects. Indications of an anomalous Zb anti-b coupling…
There are compelling reasons to think that new physics will appear at or below the TeV-scale. It is not known what form this new physics will take, however. Although The Large Hadron collider is very likely to discover new particles…
The best way to search for new physics is by using a diverse set of probes - not just experiments at the energy and the cosmic frontiers, but also the low-energy measurements relying on high precision and high luminosity. One example of…
Many new physics models beyond the Standard Model, motivated by the recent astrophysical anomalies, include the possibility of several new types of light weak-interacting particles. Typical models, such as Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric…
While B0 and B+ mesons are well studied at B-factories, large samples of B0s mesons are only available at the Tevatron so far. Since the B0s meson consists of quarks of the second and third generation it provides a complementary probe for…
We describe an approach to detect dark matter and other invisible particles with mass below a GeV, exploiting missing energy-momentum measurements and other kinematic features of fixed-target production. In the case of an invisibly decaying…
Physics beyond the Standard Model could be measured indirectly, through its effects on Standard Model observables. One place to look for such effects is in the semileptonic decays of B mesons. In order to constrain the possible role of new…
The study of $\bar{B} \to D^* \tau {\bar{\nu}}_\tau$ angular distribution can be used to obtain information about new physics (or beyond the Standard Model) couplings, which are motivated by various $B$ anomalies. However, the inability to…

Motivated by evidence for the existence of dark matter, many new physics models predict the pair production of new particles, followed by the decays into two invisible particles, leading to a momentum imbalance in the visible system. For…
The recent measurements on $R_D$, $R_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/\psi}$ by three pioneering experiments, BaBar, Belle and LHCb, indicate that the notion of lepton flavour universality is violated in the weak charged-current processes, mediated through…
