We explore the sensitivity to new physics (NP) in the associated production of top-quarks with leptons $pp \to t \bar t \ell^+ \ell^-$, which leads to the multi-leptons signals $pp \to n \ell + {\tt jets} + \not\!\! E_T$, where $n = 2,3,4$.…
New neutral heavy gauge bosons ($Z^\prime$) are predicted within many extensions of the Standard Model. While in case they couple to quarks the LHC bounds are very stringent, leptophilic $Z^\prime$ bosons (even with sizable couplings) can…
Several experiments observed deviations from the Standard Model (SM) in the flavour sector: LHCb found a $4-5\,\sigma$ discrepancy compared to the SM in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transitions (recently supported by an Belle analysis) and CMS…
We investigate whether the $2.6\sigma$ deviation from lepton flavour universality in $B^+\to K^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays recently observed at the LHCb experiment can be explained in minimal composite Higgs models. We show that a visible…
We show that new physics models without new flavor violating interactions can explain the recent anomalies in the $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. The $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ arises from a $Z'$ penguin which automatically predicts the $V-A$…
We analyse the possible presence of New Physics (NP) in the Flavour Sector and evaluate its potential for solving the tension between the experimental values of $\AJPKs$ and $\BTNu$ with respect to the Standard Model (SM) expectations.…
Experimental data have provided intriguing hints for the violation of lepton flavour universality (LFU), including $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu/B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu$, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and $b\!\to\! s\ell^+\ell^-$ with a…
Lepton flavor universality can be tested through the ratio of semileptonic $B$ meson decays and leptonic $\Upsilon$ meson decays, with $\Upsilon \equiv \Upsilon(nS)$ ($n=1,2,3$). For the charged-current transitions $b \to…

A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays $B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^\pm e^\mp$ and $B_s^0 \to \phi \mu^\pm e^\mp$ is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated…
Several experiments revealed intriguing hints for lepton flavor universality (LFU) violating new physics (NP) in semi-leptonic $B$ meson decays, mainly in $b \to c \tau \nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions at the $3-5\,\sigma$…
The recent measurement of $R_{K^*}$ is yet another hint of new physics (NP), and supports the idea that it is present in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ decays. We perform a combined model-independent and model-dependent analysis in order to deduce…
$|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1$ processes are unique probes of flavor physics in the up-sector within and beyond the Standard Model (SM). SM tests with rare semileptonic charm meson decays are based on an approximate CP--symmetry, a superior…
Lepton universality, meaning the equal coupling of the electroweak gauge bosons to the different lepton flavours, is a central property of the Standard Model (SM). Tests of lepton universality in ratios of rates of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$…
Right-handed neutrinos in supersymmetric models can act as the source of lepton flavor violation (LFV). We present experimental implications of lepton flavor-violating processes within a supersymmetric type-I seesaw framework in the…

In the Standard Model, the three charged lepton are identical copies of each other, apart from mass differences. Experimental tests of this feature in decays of semileptonic b hadrons, such as $B\rightarrow D^* \tau\ nu$, are highly…
Motivated by recent anomalies in observables associated with flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions, specifically $b \rightarrow s \ell^+ \ell^-$ processes, we present a comprehensive analysis of lepton flavor-violating (LFV)…
Lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes are a smoking gun signal of new physics (NP). If the semileptonic $B$ decay anomalies are indeed due to some NP, such operators can potentially lead to LFV decays involving the second and the third…
