We study the rare radiative leptonic decays $B_s\to\ell^+\ell^-\gamma$ ($\ell=e,\mu,\tau$) within the Standard Model, considering both the structure-dependent amplitude and bremsstrahlung. In the framework of the covariant confined quark…
The rare decay B -> X_s gamma gamma is studied in the Standard Model (SM) and in two different versions (Model I and Model II) of the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). In the SM the branching ratio into ``hard photons'' is about 10^(-7) and…
In this work we shall derive expressions for the single and double lepton polarization asymmetries for the exclusive decay $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$, using the most general model independent effective Hamiltonian. We have conducted this…
The angular distribution and differential branching fraction of the decay $B^{+} \rightarrow K^{+}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ are studied with a dataset corresponding to $1.0\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, collected by the LHCb…
The decay modes $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ are sensitive to charged scalar effects, such as the charged Higgs effects. In this paper we suggest a method to determine their effects by using the ratio of branching fractions and…
We calculate the two body Higgs boson decays in the framework of the littlest Higgs model. The decay $H \to \gamma Z$ is computed at one loop level and, using previous results, we evaluate the branching fractions in the framework of the…
We study the $L\to l l' l' \nu_l \nu_L$ decays ($L=\tau,\mu$; $l,l'=\mu,e$) in the Standard Model (SM) and in the effective field theory (EFT) description of the weak charged current at low energy, both for polarized and unpolarized $L$,…
We study the nonstandard decays of the lightest Higgs state within the Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model (E6SSM). We argued that the SM--like Higgs boson can decay predominantly into dark matter particles while its branching ratios…
A search for the decay of the Higgs boson to a $Z$ boson and a light, pseudoscalar particle, $a$, decaying respectively to two leptons and to two photons is reported. The search uses the full LHC Run 2 proton-proton collision data at…
A search for the resonant production of high mass photon pairs associated with a leptonic or hadronic system has been performed using a data sample of 57.7 pb-1 collected at an average center-of-mass energy of 182.6 GeV with the OPAL…
Recent results on Higgs searches at the LHC point towards the existence of a Higgs boson with mass of about 126 GeV whose diphoton decay rate tends to be larger than in the Standard Model. These results are in tension with natural MSSM…
We calculate Higgs decay rates into {\gamma}{\gamma} and Z{\gamma} in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and (B-L) Supersymmetric Standard Model (BLSSM) by allowing for contributions from light staus and charginos. We show…
We speculate about the possible interpretations of the recently observed excess in the $h \to \tau \mu$ decay. We derive a robust lower bound on the Higgs boson coupling strength to a tau and a muon, even in presence of the most general new…
We propose a search for Higgs decays with as many as eight leptons in the final state. This signal can arise in a simple model with a hidden vector ($A_d$) that gets mass via a hidden scalar ($h_d$) vacuum expectation value. The 125 GeV…
Within the left-right symmetric model (LRM) the decays $$S_1\to\mu^++\tau^-,\qquad S_1\to\mu^-+\tau^+$$ where $S_1$ is an analog of the standard model Higgs boson, are considered. The widths of this decays are found in the third order of…
The exclusive decay modes $B \to K \gamma\gamma$ and $B_s \to \eta (\eta') \gamma\gamma$ are shown to have significant branching ratios of approximately $0.5\times 10^{-7}$. This first calculation of these modes employs a model based on a…
We study the decays $h \to \ell \bar{\ell} \left(Z \to \ell' \bar{\ell'}\right)$ and $h\to\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell\nu_{\ell'}\bar{\ell'}$ within the SMEFT framework and including effects up to $\mathcal O(1/\Lambda^4)$, where $\Lambda$ is the new…
We reassess the $B\to\pi\ell\nu_{\ell}$ differential branching ratio distribution experimental data released by the BaBar and Belle Collaborations supplemented with all lattice calculations of the $B\to\pi$ form factor shape available up to…

More than $3\sigma$ deviations from the standard model are observed in the angular observable $P'_5$ of $B\to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-$ and muon $g-2$. To resolve these anomalies, we extend the standard model by adding two leptoquarks. It is found…
