Discrepancies have been noted between experimental measurements and Standard Model predictions for various observables related to the $B\to(K, K^*,\phi) ll$ processes. Recently, the Belle-II Collaboration observed a $2.8\sigma$ deviation…
The $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ invariance of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) imposes relations among different low-energy effective field theory Wilson coefficients (WCs), any deviations from which would signal the presence of…
We analyze the $B\to K_2^*(\to K\pi)l^+l^-$ (with $l=e,\mu,\tau$) decay in the standard model and two new physics scenarios: vector-like quark model and family non-universal $Z'$ model. We derive its differential angular distributions,…
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 anomalies in the measurements of observables involving $b \to s \mu\mu$ decays, namely $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, $P_5^{\prime}$, and $B_s^\phi$, may be addressed by adding lepton-universality-violating new physics contributions to the effective…
Recent measurements of certain B decays indicate deviations from Standard Model (SM) predictions. We show that Supersymmetric effects can increase the Branching Ratios (BRs) of both $B\to D {\tau} {\nu}_{\tau}$ and $B\to D^\ast {\tau}…
We study the decays $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ in light of the available data from BABAR, Belle and LHCb. We divide our analysis into two parts: in one part we fit the form-factors in these decays directly from the data without adding…
Motivated by the recent measurement of the dimuon asymmetry by the D{\O} collaboration, which could be interpreted as an enhanced decay rate difference in the neutral $B_d$-meson system, we investigate the possible size of new-physics…
We present an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within the Standard Model (SM), in a model-independent manner, and in a number of new physics (NP) models. Combining new form factor…
We evaluate the branching ratio BR($b\rightarrow s,\gamma$) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), determining the corresponding phenomenological restrictions on two attractive supergravity scenarios, namely minimal…
The decay $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is a key probe for the search of physics beyond the Standard Model. While the current measurements of the corresponding branching ratio agree with the Standard Model within the uncertainties, significant…
We study the constraints on the contribution of new physics in the form of scalar/pseudoscalar operators to the average forward backward asymmetry <A_{FB}> of muons in B --> K mu+ mu- and the longitudinal polarization asymmetry A_{LP} of…
We reemphasize that the ratio $R_{s\mu} \equiv \overline{\mathcal{B}}(B_s\to\mu\bar\mu)/\Delta M_s$ is a measure of the tension of the Standard Model (SM) with latest measurements of $\overline{\mathcal{B}}(B_s\to\mu\bar\mu)$ that does not…
At present, there are several measurements of $B$ decays that exhibit discrepancies with the predictions of the Standard Model, and suggest the presence of new physics in $b\to s$ and $b \to c(u)$ quark level transitions. Motivated by the…
Recently LHCb has measured the branching ratio of the rare decay of $B_s^0\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- $ as $2.9^{+1.1}_{-1.0} \times10^{-9}$ which is at par with the predicted standard model (SM) value. This result does not predict the absence…
The phenomenon of $B^0_q-\bar B^0_q$ mixing ($q=d,s$) provides a sensitive probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. We explore the corresponding space for New Physics left through the current data, having a careful look at analyses of…
In this decade one expects a very significant progress in measuring the branching ratios for several rare $K$ and $B$ decays, in particular for the decays $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$, $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$, $B_s\to\mu^+\mu^+$ and…
We discuss the advantages of combining the experimental bound on Br(B_s -> mu+ mu-) and the measured Br(B -> K l+l-) to get the model independent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. Since the two decays give complementary…
Within the standard model, a relation involving branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries holds for the B-decay pairs that are related by U-spin. The violation of this relation indicates new physics (NP). In this paper, we assume that the…
We study the constraints on possible new physics contribution to the forward-backward asymmetry of muons, A_{FB}(q^2), in B --> K mu+ mu-. New physics in the form of vector/axial-vector operators does not contribute to A_{FB}(q^2) whereas…
