We discuss the sensitivity of the CP violating measurements at the upcoming B factories to the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We review the three manifestations of CP violation possible in the B meson system. We give…
We analyse three different New Physics scenarios for Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral currents in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrise generic New Physics contributions to B_q-Bbar_q mixing…
This letter summarises the status of the global fit of the CKM parameters within the Standard Model performed by the CKMfitter group. Special attention is paid to the inputs for the CKM angles $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ and the status of…
We explore the theoretical feasibility of extracting V_ub from two ratios built from B meson inclusive partial decays, R_1 = Gamma(b-> u cbar s)/3Gamma(b -> c l nu), and R_2 = [Gamma(b -> c X) - Gamma(b -> cbar X)]/Gamma(b -> c ubar d). We…
In this paper we calculate the contributions to the branching ratio of $B_s \to \gamma\gamma$ from the charged Pseudo-Goldstone bosons appeared in one generation Technicolor model. We find that the theoretical values of the branching ratio,…
We derive the four-fold angular distribution for the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}\to D_2^*(\to D \pi)\,\ell \bar{\nu}$ where $D_2^*$(2460) is a tensor meson. We start with the most general beyond the Standard Model (SM) dimension-six…
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…
I describe the theoretical progress in the study of semileptonic tree-level B decays, and its interplay with recent experimental results. In particular, I focus on two anomalies: the ratios $R(D^{(*)})=\displaystyle\frac{{\cal B}(B \to…
Using the entire sample of 467 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC, we perform a "GLW" analysis of B+- --> D K+- decays, using decay modes in which the neutral D…
We examine the new physics sensitivity of the rare decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \nu\bar\nu$ which can be accessible at future $Z$-pole machines like FCC-ee and CEPC. We find that the longitudinal polarization of $\Lambda_b$ baryons produced…
In this presentation the new physics implications of the $B$-meson decay anomalies, observed at LHCb, are discussed. In the first part of the talk a brief overview of the experimental status is presented. In the second part, a class of…
The most sensitive experimental searches for $D-\bar D$ mixing use $D^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ decays. It is often assumed that effects of New Physics and, in particular, CP violation, can appear through the mixing, while the $c \to d u \bar s$…
After the recent high precision determinations of $V_{us}$ and $V_{ud}$, the first row of the CKM matrix shows more than $4\sigma$ deviation from unitarity. Two possible scenarios beyond the Standard Model can be investigated in order to…
In the last ten years there has been great progress in calculations of decays of $B$ and $D$ mesons, and baryons containing a heavy $b$ or $c$ quark. One propelling factor has been the measurement of several anomalies in $b\to s$ and $b\to…
A brief review of the current state of observed deviations of theoretical predictions from experimental data in semileptonic decays of $B$ and $B_c$ mesons is given. A theoretical analysis of these decays is carried out, taking into account…
Certain types of asymmetries in neutral meson physics have not been treated properly, ignoring the difference of normalization factors with an assumption of the equality of total decay width. Since the corrected asymmetries in $B^0$ meson…
The propagation and decay of neutral B-mesons can be described in terms of quantum dynamical semigroups; they provide generalized time-evolutions that take into account possible non-standard effects leading to loss of phase coherence and…
We present the status of the CKM matrix parameters in the framework of the Standard Model. We perform a model independent analysis to set constraints on additional effective parameters accounting for possible New Physics effects and to…
We carefully analyse the present experimental evidence for a complex CKM matrix, even allowing for New Physics contributions to $\epsilon_{K}$, $a_{J/\Psi K_S}$, $\Delta M_{B_{d}}$, $\Delta M_{B_{s}}$, and the $\Delta I=1/2$ piece of…
The decuplet baryons, $\Delta$, $\Sigma^{*}$, $\Xi^{*}$ and $\Omega^{-}$, are studied in nuclear matter by using the in-medium QCD sum rules. By fixing the three momentum of the particles under consideration at the rest frame of the medium,…
