We study the differential decay rate for the rare decay $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda(1520)(\to NK)\ell^+\ell^-$ where $\ell$ is a light lepton, as this decay mode can provide new and complementary constraints on the Wilson coefficients in $b\to…
Motivated by a recent Belle~II measurement that suggests an excess in the rare decay $B \to K\, E_{\rm miss}$, and building upon our recent differential decay rate likelihood analysis of the existing experimental information, we investigate…
We report measurements of Time-Dependent CP asymmetries in several $b\to s$ penguin dominated hadronic B decays, where New Physics contributions may appear. We find no significant discrepancies with respect to the Standard Model…

We present a simple approach to the study of semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays based on the angular distributions of the final state particles only. Our approach is model independent and never requires the knowledge of $\vert…
In the light of recent experimental data from the CLEO Collaboration we study, the decays of B mesons to a pair of pseudoscalar (P) mesons, and a vector (V) meson and a pseudoscalar meson, in the framework of factorization. In order to…

The rare four-fold decay $B_s \to K^*(\to K\pi)\mu^+\mu^- $, governed by the flavor-changing neutral current transition $b \to d\mu^+\mu^-$, provides a sensitive probe for testing the Standard Model (SM) and investigating signatures of new…

I discuss several techniques for observing new physics using measurements of B -> V1 V2 decays. Within the standard model, all CP-violating triple-product correlations (TP's) involving light vector mesons are expected be very small or to…
We perform a time-dependent and time-integrated angular analysis of the decays $B^0\to\phi K^{*}(892)^0$, $\phi K^{*}_2(1430)^0$, and $\phi(K\pi)^{*0}_{0}$ with the final sample of about 465 million $\BB$ pairs recorded with the $\babar$…
In this letter we reinterpret and reanalyze the available data of the B meson factories showing the existence of direct experimental evidence of time reversal invariance violation in B mesons. This reinterpretation consists of using the…
We explore the impact of a combined analysis of $B_{d,s}\to K^{(*)}$ form factors on a set of $L$-observables. The $L$-observables are constructed from ratios of branching fractions in $B_{s}\to VV,PP,PV$ versus $B_d \to VV,PP,PV$ decays…
The evidence of a large CP phase has been shown by CDF and D{\O} collaborations in the time-dependent CP asymmetry (CPA) of $B_s\to J/\Psi \phi$ decay, where the nonvanished CPA clearly implies the existence of a non-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase…
Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^\pm \rightarrow D^{(*)} K^\pm$ and $B^\pm \rightarrow D^{(*)} \pi^\pm$ decays are presented, where $D^{(*)}$ indicates a neutral $D$ or $D^*$ meson that is an admixture of $D^{(*)0}$ and…
We probe the effective field theory extending the Standard Model with a sterile neutrino in B meson decays at B factories and lepton colliders, using angular and polarization observables. We put bounds on different effective operators…

We present a model-independent method to study the four-body decay $B\to K^*(\to K^+\pi^-)\mu^+\mu^-$, based on extracting continuous observables with a moments approach. The method allows the observables to be determined unbinned in both…
Measurements of the effective lifetimes of $B_s$-meson decays, which only require untagged rate analyses, allow us to probe the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ and the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ of $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ mixing. We point…
