We investigate the rare baryonic ${\Lambda}_b\rightarrow{\Lambda}l^+ l^-$ decays in a non-universal $Z'$ model, which is one of the well-motivated extensions of the standard model (SM). Considering the effects of $Z'$-mediated…
The three-body decay $B^0(B_s)\to \gamma\nu \bar{\nu}$ can occur via penguin and box diagrams in the standard model (SM). These channels are useful to determine the decay constants $f_B$ ($f_{B_s}$) and $B$ ($B_s$) meson wave function.…
