In this paper, we study the four-body decay processes of neutral flavored mesons, including $\bar K^0$, $D^0$, $\bar B^0$, and $\bar B_s^0$. These processes, which induced by a hypothetical doubly-charged scalar particle, violate the lepton…
Many Standard Model extensions predict doubly-charged scalars; in particular, all models with resonances in charged lepton-pair channels with non-vanishing lepton number; if these are pair produced at the LHC, the observation of their decay…
The only possible doubly-charged scalar decays into two Standard Model particles are into pairs of same-sign charged leptons, H$^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow {l}^\pm {l}^\pm, {l} = e, \mu, \tau$, or gauge bosons, H$^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow W^\pm W^\pm$;…
The lepton-number-violating decays of $B^+, D^+$ and $D_s^+$ mesons induced by the doubly charged Higgs boson have been studied. It is found that although the yielded results of the branch ratio are much smaller than the present limits from…
Scalars with lepton number violating interactions decaying into lepton pairs, as those mediating the see-saw of type II, always include doubly-charged components. If these are observed at the LHC, their electro-weak quantum numbers can be…
We review the SM extensions with scalar multiplets including doubly-charged components eventually observable as di-leptonic resonances at the LHC. Special emphasis is payed to the limits on LNV implied by doubly-charged scalar searches at…
The experimental observation of lepton-number violating processes would unambiguously indicate the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Various $\Delta L$ = 2 processes for pseudoscalar meson $M_1$ decays to another pseudoscalar meson $M_2$ and…
We study the phenomenology of heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) in $B$-meson decays as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. Focusing on the leptonic channels $B \to \mu N$ and $B \to \tau N$, we constrain the allowed regions in the…
We study the phenomenology of light scalars of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ coupling to heavy flavour-violating vector bosons of mass $m_V$. For $m_{1,2}\lesssim $ few GeV, this scenario triggers the rare $B$ meson decays $B_s^0\to 3\mu^+…
The decay rate of neutrinoless double beta decay could be dominated by short-range diagrams involving heavy scalar particles ("topology-II" diagrams). Examples are diagrams with diquarks, leptoquarks or charged scalars. Here, we compare the…
We consider all possible scalar bilinears, which couple to two fermions of the standard model. The various baryon and lepton number violating couplings allowed by these exotic scalars are studied. We then discuss which ones are constrained…
We come up with a novel search strategy for long-lived doubly charged scalars at future proposed lepton colliders. The doubly charged scalar studied in this work belongs to an $SU(2)_L$ complex scalar triplet that accounts for tiny neutrino…
This paper is designed to calculate the branching ratio of four-body decays of $B$ meson with lepton number changed by 2. With the new experimental data limit to lepton-number violation processes, we update the upper limits of mixing…
Lepton-number violation can be induced by the exchange of an on-shell Majorana neutrino $N$ in semileptonic $|\Delta L|=2$ decays of the $B_s$ meson, $B_s^0 \to P^-\pi^-\mu^+ \mu^+$ with $P=K, D_s$. We investigate the production of such a…
Recent studies of novel four-body lepton number violating decays of $\tau$ leptons and neutral $B$ mesons are summarized and updated. These decays are assumed to be enhanced by the exchange of resonant Majorana neutrinos. It is shown that…
In this work, we investigate the phenomenological consequences of a doubly charged scalar which may belong to different uncoloured scalar multiplets. This doubly charged scalar couples to the charged leptons as well as gauge bosons, which…
CMS and ATLAS have searched for a doubly-charged boson $H^{\pm\pm}$ which may arise from type II seesaw in the 7 TeV run at the LHC by considering pair or associated production of doubly-charged bosons under the assumption of degenerate…
We consider the possibility that neutrinoless double beta decay may occur in models with unbroken lepton number via the emission of a massive gauge boson with electron lepton number $-2$. We determine the shape of the $\beta\,\beta$ sum…
The $\Delta S = 2$ transition $b \to s s \bar d$ is extremely small in the standard model, proceeding only via box diagrams. Such decays are thus an appropriate ground for searching new physics. We present a study of several two-body and…
The transition form factors of $B_{(s)} \to S$, with $S$ denoting a scalar meson, are investigated in the light-cone sum rules approach. The numerical values are approximately twice as large as that estimated in the light-front quark model…
