We derive the expressions for the full angular distributions of $\bar B\to D\ell\bar \nu_\ell$ and $\bar B\to D^{\ast }\ell\bar \nu_\ell$ decays and discuss the spectra on each angle separately. The coefficient functions, depending on…
At the present time, there are a number of measurements of $B$-decay observables that disagree with the predictions of the standard model. These discrepancies have been seen in processes governed by two types of decay: (i) $b \to s \mu^+…
After incorporating all the available experimental data and the most up-to-date Lattice and light cone sum rule (LCSR) inputs on the form factors, we analyze the exclusive $b\to u\ell\nu_{\ell}$ and $b\to d\ell \ell$ decays simultaneously.…
The inclusive radiative $B$-decay is a sensitive probe of new physics, especially if related to the virtual exchange of a charged Higgs boson. Supersymmetric models provide a particularly interesting example. In the limit of exact…
We revisit the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda_c^+ \ell^-\bar\nu$ ($\ell = e,\mu,\tau$) with a subsequent two-body decay $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda^0 \pi^+$ in the Standard Model and in generic New Physics models. The decay's joint…
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider is a major upgrade of the KEK "$B$ factory" facility in Tsukuba, Japan. The machine is designed for an instantaneous luminosity of $8\times 10^{35}$~cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$, and the experiment…
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…
Physics beyond the Standard Model can manifest itself as both new light states and heavy degrees of freedom. In this paper, we assume that the former comprise only a sterile neutrino, $N$. Therefore, the most agnostic description of the new…
We study all possible observables in $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ with new physics (NP), including new vector, scalar and tensor interactions, and investigate the prospects of extracting NP Wilson coefficients with optimal observables.…
We report results on the search for $B_s\to\eta^{\prime}\eta$ decay, and the searches for $B^0\to\textrm{invisible}$ and $B^0\to\textrm{invisible}+\gamma$ decays. The former result is based on a data sample of $121.4~\textrm{fb}^{-1}$…
We have searched for the decay $B^+\to\omega l^+\nu$ ($l=e$ or $\mu$) in 78 fb$^{-1}$ of $\Upsilon(4S)$ data (85 million $B\bar B$ events) accumulated with the Belle detector. The final state is fully reconstructed using the $\omega$ decay…
We establish improved upper limits on branching fractions for $B^{0}$ decays to final states where the decay products are purely invisible (i.e., no observable final state particles) and for final states where the only visible product is a…
In this talk an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within and beyond the Standard Model is presented. Combining new form factor determinations from lattice QCD with light-cone sum rule…
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…
We report searches for $B^0\to\rm{invisible}$ and $B^0\to\rm{invisible}+\gamma$ decays, where the energy of the photon is required to be larger than 0.5 GeV. These results are obtained from a $711\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ data sample that contains…
Recent Belle II data on $B^+ \to K^+ E_{\rm miss}$ show an excess consistent with a two-body decay involving a light invisible particle with mass around $2.1\,\mathrm{GeV}$. We present a UV-complete explanation based on a Higgsed $U(1)'$…
We present allowed regions in the space of observables of certain non-leptonic B-meson decays that characterize these modes within the Standard Model. A future measurement of observables lying significantly outside of these regions would…
A search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay $B^{+}\to K^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ is performed at the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. The results are based on a data sample corresponding…
The Belle-II experiment has recently measured $\mathcal{B}(B^+\to K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$, which appears to be almost $3\sigma$ larger than its Standard Model (SM) prediction. In this talk, I will critically revisit the status of the SM…
An excess in the branching fraction for $B^+ \to K^+ \nu\nu$ recently measured at Belle II may be a hint of new physics. We perform thorough likelihood analyses for different new physics scenarios such as $B \to KX$ with a new invisible…
