In this article, a complete analysis of the three muonic lepton-flavour violating processes $\mu\to e \gamma$, $\mu\to 3e$ and coherent nuclear $\mu\to e$ conversion is performed in the framework of an effective theory with dimension six…
In spite of the vast literature on the subject of first order Electroweak Phase Transitions (EWPTs), which can provide the necessary conditions for generating the Baryon Asymmetry in the Universe, fermion-induced EWPTs still remain a rather…
The transformation properties of strong penguin operators under the action of the flavor group change when they are considered as operators in (partially) quenched QCD instead of the unquenched theory. As a result, additional operators and…
There are experimental indications of large flavor mixing between $\nu_{\mu }$ and $\nu_{\tau}$. In the unification models, in which the massless sector includes extra particles beyond the standard model, there possibly appear the mixings…
We analyze the renormalization group equations for the Standard Model at the one and two loops levels. At one loop level we find an exact constant of evolution built from the product of the quark masses and the gauge couplings $g_{1}$ and $…
We study the impact of the inverse seesaw mechanism on several leptonic and hadronic low-energy flavour-violating observables in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Indeed, the contributions of the light right-handed…
Models with vector-like leptons can strongly modify the lepton mass generation mechanism and lead to correlated effects in lepton-Higgs couplings and lepton dipole moments. Here we begin an analysis of higher-order corrections in such…
Thermal leptogenesis, in the framework of the standard model with three additional heavy Majorana neutrinos, provides an attractive scenario to explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. It is based on the out-of-equilibrium…
Pure leptonic and semileptonic rare B decays, $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $B \to X_s \mu^+ \mu^-$ in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), in particular, gluino and neutralino contributions to the decays, are discussed under Br($B…
We simplify the general form of the fermion-fermion-gauge boson interactions generated by dimension-six gauge-invariant effective operators by using the equations of motion to remove redundant operators. It is found that the most general…
The constraints on the mixing angles of the standard fermions with new heavy particles that can appear in many extensions of the electroweak theory are reviewed. Some emphasis is put in distinguishing the effects of a mixing with new states…
In various extensions of the Standard Model (SM) tree level non-leptonic decays of hadrons receive contributions from new heavy gauge bosons and scalars. Prominent examples are the right-handed W' bosons in left-right symmetric models and…
We present a covariant wave-packet approach to neutrino flavor transitions in vacuum. The approach is based on the technique of macroscopic Feynman diagrams describing the lepton number violating processes of production and absorption of…
Contributions of low energy "eye" and "figure-eight" quark diagrams to the $K \rightarrow \pi$ weak transitions are studied in a hadron- level phenomenological approach. It is shown that these contributions may be estimated by considering…
We explore the parameter space for processes with fermionic flavor violation within the 2HDM type III, processes of Flavor Changing Neutral Currents are present at LO as dynamics beyond the Standard Model are included. We analyze the…
We have considered the penguin interaction contribution to $K \rightarrow 2 \pi$ decays. In particular, we have investigated the effect of the momentum dependence of the penguin coefficient. Our analysis is performed within the Chiral Quark…
We calculate two-loop matching conditions for all the operators that are relevant to B -> X_s l^+ l^- decay in the Standard Model. In effect, we are able to remove the +_16% uncertainty in the decay spectrum, which was mainly due to the…
We define a new class of $Z'$ models with neutral flavor-changing interactions at tree level in the down-quark sector. They are related in an exact way to elements of the quark mixing matrix due to an underlying flavored $U(1)'$ gauge…
A vector-like extension of the standard model for heavier quarks and leptons with $SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge symmetry and only one Higgs doublet is examined. This scheme incorporates infinitely many fermions and avoids the appearance of a…
