We conduct a systematic study of the impact of new physics in quark-level $b \to c \bar{c} s$ transitions on $B$-physics, in particular rare $B$-decays and $B$-meson lifetime observables. We find viable scenarios where a sizable effect in…
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 $\mathcal{B}(B^-_u \to \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})$,…
We study the effect of scalar leptoquarks on some rare decays of $B_s$ mesons involving the quark level transition $b\rightarrow s$ $l^{+} l^{-}.$ In particular we consider the decays $B_{s} \rightarrow \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$, $\bar B_d^0 \to X_s…
We investigate the potential of rare hyperon decays to probe the short distance structure in the $s\to d\nu\bar\nu$ and $s\to d\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. Hyperon decays into neutrinos ($B_1\to B_2\nu\bar\nu$) can be reliably predicted by…
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…

Using the $B_s$ meson wave function extracted from non-leptonic $B_s$ decays, we evaluate the short distance contribution of rare decays $B_s\to \ell^+\ell^-\gamma(\ell=e,\mu)$ in the standard model, including all the possible diagrams. We…
The rare decay B to K* (to K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics since its angular distribution gives access to many observables that offer new important tests of the Standard Model and its extensions. We…
Using the most general, model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian rare decays (B -> l^+ l^- gamma (l=mu, tau)) are studied. The sensitivity of the photon energy distribution and branching ratio to the new Wilson coefficients is…

The rare decays $B_{(s,d)}^*\to l^+ l^-$ are important to probe the flavour sector of the standard model and to search new physics beyond the SM. Unlike pseudoscalar B meson, the leptonic decays of vector $ B_(s,d)^*$ mesons are not…
The search for New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM) has been a central focus of particle physics, including in the context of $B$-meson decays involving $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions. These transitions, mediated by…
Rare $B$, $D$ and $K$ decays provide interesting probes of the Standard Model (SM), with a potential sensitivity to New Physics (NP) higher than other, more common, decays. Their experimental measurement is challenging, and their…
We study the rare decays of $B_c^+\to D_{q}^{(*)+}l\bar{l}$ ($q=d,s$ and $l=\nu_l,e,\mu,\tau)$ in the standard model. The form factors are evaluated in the light front and constituent quark models, respectively. We find that the decay…
