The present NLL prediction for the decay rate of the rare inclusive process $\bar B \to X_s \gamma$ has a large uncertainty due to the charm mass renormalization scheme ambiguity. We estimate that this uncertainty will be reduced by a…
We perform a measurement of the CP asymmetry in b->sgamma decays using a sample of 383 BB events collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory. We reconstruct sixteen flavor-specific B decay modes containing a…
We reexamine contributions of higher $K$-resonances to the radiative rare decays $b\rar s\gamma$ in the limit where both $b$- and $s$-quark are considered heavy. Using the non-relativistic quark model, and the form factor definitions…
In this paper, we calculated the new physics contribution to theoretically very clean rare decay $B\to X_{s} \nu \bar{\nu}$ in the general two-Higgs-doublet model (model III). Within the considered parameter space, we found that (a) the new…
Direct CP asymmetries (${\cal A}_{CP}$) in the inclusive decays of ${\overline B}\to X_s\gamma$ and ${\overline B}\to X_{s+d}\gamma$ of the order of $1\%$ will be probed at the BELLE II experiment. In this work, three such asymmetries are…
Decays of the kind $B_s\to D_s^{\pm}K^\mp, D_s^{\ast\pm}K^\mp, ...$ and $B_d\to D^{\pm}\pi^\mp, D^{\ast\pm}\pi^\mp, ...$ allow us to probe $\phi_s+\gamma$ and $\phi_d+\gamma$, respectively, involving the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity…
We discuss a potential discrepancy in an approximate relation among $B \to K \pi$ rates which, with increased statistical significance, would imply new physics in $\Delta I=1$ transitions. An approximate relation between CP-violating rate…
In this note, we present the result for the QCD corrections to the decay of the Higgs boson into two photons in the large-$\beta_0$ limit of QCD, providing the first two terms in the heavy-top expansion. From our results, one can easily…
We demonstrate that the long distance contribution to $B^{\pm} \to \rho^{\pm} \gamma$ may have a large effect on the decay rate and through it on the CP violating partial rate asymmetry. The change in the asymmetry can be between a factor…
We study nonperturbative corrections to the inclusive rare decay B -> X_s l^+ l^- by performing an operator product expansion (OPE) to O(1/m_b^3). The values of the matrix elements entering at this order are unknown and introduce…
We consider the form factors for the radiative semileptonic decays $\bar{B}(v) \rightarrow D^{(*)}(v') \ell {\bar \nu}_\ell \gamma$ in the kinematic region where the photon momentum, $k$, is small enough that heavy quark symmetry (HQS) can…
For the vertex corrections to the partial decay rate $\Gamma(Z \to b\bar{b})$ involving the top quark only the leading terms of order $\alpha\alpha_s$ in the $1/M_t$ expansion are known. In this work we compute the missing next-to-leading…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported evidence for the rare hyperon decay $\Sigma^+\to p\mu^+\mu^-$ that is consistent with the standard model expectation. Motivated by this new result we revisit the calculation of this mode…
The inclusive radiative $B$-decay is a sensitive probe of new physics, especially if related to the virtual exchange of a charged Higgs boson. Supersymmetric models provide a particularly interesting example. In the limit of exact…
The measurement of decay parameters is one of the important goals of particle physics experiments, and the measurement serves as a probe to search for evidence of CP violation in baryonic decays. The experimental results will help advance…
Observation of top quark flavor changing neutral process $t\to c +\gamma$ at the LHC would be the signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. If anomalous $t\to c\gamma$ coupling exists, it will affect the precisely measured…
