The most common decay used for measuring 2beta_s, the phase of Bs-Bsbar mixing, is Bs -> J/psi phi. This decay is dominated by the colour-suppressed tree diagram, but there are other contributions due to gluonic and electroweak penguin…
We study B meson decays to two charmless baryons in the diquark model, including strong and electroweak penguins as well as the tree operators. It is shown that penguin operators can enhance $\bar{B} \to \Bb_s \bar{\Bb}$ considerably, but…
We report the results of a search for the rare baryonic decays $B^0 \to p\bar{p}$, $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$, and $B^+ \to p\bar{\Lambda}$. The analysis is based on a data set of $31.7\times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ events collected by the Belle…
Radiative penguin decays provide a hunting ground complementary to direct searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. In the era of B-factories copious production of B mesons permits precision measurements of radiative penguin decays.…
B physics results from the Belle experiment are reviewed. Precise measurements of Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements are made. Several decay modes are observed which will enable us to measure the CP angles, phi_i in channels other…
We show that the anomalies in the $B\to\pi\pi$ decay channels, {\em viz.}, the large branching ratio of $B\to\pi^0\pi^0$ and large direct CP asymmetry of $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$, can both be explained, even in the framework of existing theoretical…
The phenomenon of CP violation in the B system and strategies for extracting CKM phases are reviewed. We focus both on general aspects and on some recent developments including CP-violating asymmetries in B_d decays, the B_s system in light…
We discuss about a possibility of large electro-weak penguin contribution in B -> K pi from recent experimental data. The several relations among the branching ratios which realize when the contributions from tree type and electro-weak…
We analyze rare K and B decays in the Littlest Higgs (LH) model without T-parity. We find that the final result for the Z^0-penguin contribution contains a divergence that is generated by the one-loop radiative corrections to the currents…
Radiative penguin decays provide an indirect probe for physics beyond the Standard Model and contribute to the determination of the CKM matrix elements. Copious quantities of B mesons produced at the B-Factories permit precision…
In this report, experimental prospects for the inclusive analysis of the radiative B decays and electroweak penguin decays at the super B factories are presented.
We report the recent measurements performed using the data sample collected from 2019 to 2022 by the Belle~II experiment~\cite{Belle2:TDR} at $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $362~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. We…
We present the differential rates for exclusive $\Bbar\to X \ell_1 \ell_2$, where $\ell_1$ is a charged massless lepton and $\ell_2$ is a charged or neutral massless lepton, and $X$ is a mesonic system up to spin 2. The cases of interest…
The rare Hyperon decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$ is an $s \to d$ flavour changing neutral current process, which is highly suppressed within the Standard Model, and is therefore sensitive to new physics. Due to recent improvements in…
We present a systematic analysis for the rare baryonic exclusive decays of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda l^+ l^- (l=e,\mu,\tau)$. We study the differential decay rates and the di-lepton forward-backward, lepton polarization and various CP…
We discuss implications of recent experimental data for B decays into two pseudoscalar mesons, with emphasis on those with $\eta$ and $\eta'$ in the final states. Applying a U-spin argument, we show that tree and penguin amplitudes, both in…
We study the decay $B_c \rightarrow D_s^* \gamma$. There are two mechanisms contributing to the process. One proceeds through the short distance $b{\rightarrow}s\gamma$ transition and the other occurs through weak annihilation accompanied…
The decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_s\to K^+K^-$ provide an interesting strategy to extract the CKM angle $\gamma$ at ``second-generation'' $B$-physics experiments of the LHC era. A variant for ``first-generation'' experiments can be…
This paper describes the angular distribution of $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda(\to pK^-)\ell^+\ell^-$ decays. A full expression is given for the case of multiple interfering spin-states with spin $\leq \tfrac{5}{2}$. This distribution is relevant…
We find evidence for the semileptonic baryonic decay $B^-\to p\bar p\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e,\mu$), based on a data sample of 772 million $B\bar B$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
