We study the exclusive $b \to u \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell} (\ell=\tau,\mu,e)$ decays in the MSSM with and without R-parity violation. From the experimental measurements of branching ratios $\mathcal{B}(B^-_u \to \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})$,…
The persistent anomalies observed in $B$ mesons related to $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ transitions point to the potential for new physics beyond the Standard Model. To explore this further, we conduct an analysis of the exclusive semileptonic…
The decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the most promising modes to probe physics beyond the standard model (SM), since the angular distribution of the decay products enable measurement of several constraining observables. LHCb has…
We show that an angular analysis of B --> V1 V2 decays yields numerous tests for new physics in the decay amplitudes. Unlike direct CP asymmetries, many of these new-physics observables are nonzero even if the strong phase differences…
Studies of rare decays play an important role in the search of physics beyond the standard model. New particles may participate in the loop processes and can be probed by seeing any deviations from the standard model predictions. The very…
We analyze rare charm baryon decays within the standard model and beyond. We identify all null test observables in unpolarized $\Lambda_c \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$, $\ell=e, \mu$ decays, and study the new physics sensitivities. We find that the…
Standard Model (SM) CP asymmetries in $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ are expected to be very small. This feature could help in the understanding of new physics scenarios which predict the existence of CP odd phases in various Wilson coefficients.…
Rare $b \to s\ell^+\ell^-$ flavour-changing-neutral-current processes provide important tests of the Standard Model of particle physics. Angular observables in exclusive $b \to s\ell^+\ell^-$ processes can be particularly powerful as they…
We investigate the experimentally-accessible kinematic distributions of the $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\tau^-(\to\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell\nu_\tau)\bar\nu_\tau$ decays. Specifically, we study the decay rates as functions of the $B\to D^{(*)}$ transferred…

We study the decays of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda(\to p \pi^-) \ell ^+ \ell^-$ with $\ell = (e, \mu, \tau)$. In particular, we examine the full angular distributions with polarized $\Lambda_b$ and identify the time-reversal asymmetries or T-odd…
The first full angular analysis of the $B^0 \to D^{*-} D_s^{*+}$ decay is performed using 6 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The $D_s^{*+} \to D_s^+ \gamma$ and…
Recent experimental results on angular observables in the rare decay $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ show significant deviations from Standard Model predictions. We investigate the possibility that these deviations are due to new physics. Combining…
We present an analysis of the semi-inclusive decays $B_s \to D_s^- X \ell^+ \nu$ and $B_s \to D_s^{*-} X \ell^+ \nu$, where $X$ denotes a final state that may consist of additional hadrons or photons and $\ell$ is an electron or muon. The…
