We study new physics effects on B decay processes including a final $\tau$ particle, namely $B \to D \tau \nu$ and $B \to \tau \nu$. An important feature of these processes is that a charged Higgs boson can contribute to the decay amplitude…

We calculate the main observables in $B_{u,d}\to (\rho,\omega,K^*)\gamma$ and $B_s\to (\bar K^*,\phi)\gamma$ decays, i.e. branching ratios and CP and isospin asymmetries. We include QCD factorisation results and also the dominant…
