This paper reports results from a search for nucleon decay through 'invisible' modes, where no visible energy is directly deposited during the decay itself, during the initial water phase of SNO+. However, such decays within the oxygen…
The decay $K_L \to invisible$ has never been experimentally tested. In the Standard Model (SM) its branching ratio for the decay into two neutrinos is helicity suppressed and predicted to be $Br(K_L \to \nu \bar{\nu}) \lesssim 10^{-10}$. We…
The study of rare B-decays at SuperB provides unique opportunities to understand the Standard Model and constrain new physics. We discuss the new physics potential of the leptonic B^+ -> l^+ nu_l decays from the proposed SuperB experiment…
The discovery of New Physics, using weak decays of mesons is difficult due to intractable strong interaction effects needed to describe it. We show how the multitude of "related observables" obtained from B\to K^* \ell^+\ell^-, can provide…
The rare decay $B^+ \to D_s^+ \phi $ can occur only via annihilation type diagram in the standard model. The small branching ratio predicted in the standard model makes this channel sensitive to new physics contributions. We analyze this…
One of the most pragmatic ways to look for the effects of New Physics at low energy scales is to study a detailed angular distribution of various decay modes, and in particular those based on $b\to c\ell\bar \nu_\ell$. In this paper we…
Inspired by various updated tantalizing results of LHCb on baryonic sector we study the {\Lambda}_b decays into {\Lambda}^* (1520)l^+ l^- decay in non-universal Z^' model. We present the four-fold angular distributions of the decay in terms…
Physics beyond the Standard Model could be measured indirectly, through its effects on Standard Model observables. One place to look for such effects is in the semileptonic decays of B mesons. In order to constrain the possible role of new…
Using the most general model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian, the rare B_s --> \gamma \ell^+ \ell^- decays are studied by taking into account the polarization of the photon. The total and the differential branching ratios for…
It is shown that if the charginos decay into very soft leptons or hadrons + $\not{E}$ due to degeneracy/ near- degeneracy with the LSP or the sneutrino, the observability of the recently proposed signal via the single photon (+ soft…
The rare $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ transition is a well-explored transition, particularly for new physics beyond the standard model. Similar to this transition, another flavor changing neutral current transition $b \to s \nu\bar{\nu}$…
In general a decay with a missing (not detected) particle can not be fully reconstructed apart from a few exceptions. For example, if the momentum of the decaying particle is known or if the missing energy in an event is measured precisely,…
To shed light on the indirect search for new physics beyond the standard model, the long standing discrepancies between the theory and experiment mediated by FCNC $b\to s \ell \ell$ quark level transitions set an ideal testing ground.…
The Belle-II experiment has recently reported the first measurement of $B^+ \to K^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ decay which exceeds the Standard Model prediction by approximately 2.7$\sigma$. The deviation may indicate the presence of new physics beyond…
A wealth of data on hadronic b -> s transitions is available from the B-factories and will be improved at the LHCb experiment and possible future super-B-factories. I review the theory of these decays as it pertains to the search for…
Neutrinoless double beta decay is a hypothetical nuclear transition whose observation would demonstrate that neutrinos are their own antiparticles and that lepton number is not conserved, with far-reaching implications for the origin of…
The rare $b\to s\nu\bar{\nu}$ decays are sensitive to contributions of new physics (NP) and helpful to resolve the puzzle of multiple $B$ flavor anomalies. In this work, we propose to study the $b\to s\nu\bar{\nu}$ transition at a future…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
An overview of the SuperB project and its physics programme is presented. There are many new physics sensitive observables that can be measured at a high luminosity e+e- collider operating near a centre of mass energy of ~10 GeV, and many…
The $B_s \to D_s^{(*)\pm} K^\mp$ decays allow a theoretically clean determination of $\phi_s+\gamma$, where $\phi_s$ is the $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ mixing phase and $\gamma$ the usual angle of the unitarity triangle. A sizable $B_s$ decay…
