The most important hint of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) from the 1995 precision electroweak data is that the most precisely measured quantities, the total, leptonic and hadronic decay widths of the $Z$ and the effective weak…
Motivated by a recent Belle~II measurement that suggests an excess in the rare decay $B \to K\, E_{\rm miss}$, and building upon our recent differential decay rate likelihood analysis of the existing experimental information, we investigate…
Rare $K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu$ decays, being dominated by short distance contributions within the Standard Model (SM), open a window for New Physics (NP) searches at low energies. The $ K \to \pi \nu \bar\nu $ branching ratios are expected…
We review the collider phenomenology of neutrino physics and the synergetic aspects at energy, intensity and cosmic frontiers to test the new physics behind the neutrino mass mechanism. In particular, we focus on seesaw models within the…
Meson decays offer a good opportunity to probe new physics. The rare kaon decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ is one of the cleanest of them and, for this reason, is rather sensitive to new physics, in particular, vector mediators.…
The multi-critical behaviour of an approximately scale and conformal invariant quantum field theory, which can be regarded as the deformation of the critical Gross-Neveu model in 3+epsilon dimensions by a nearly marginal parity violating…
Proton decay, although unobserved so far, is a natural expectation when attempting to explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe. $p\to K^+\bar{\nu}$ or $p\to K^+\tilde{\chi}_1^0$, with $\tilde{\chi}_1^0$ a light exotic neutral particle,…
We study constraints on new physics from the recent measurement of Br ($K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu)$ by the E787 and E949 Collaborations. In our analysis we consider two models of new physics: $(a)$ extra down type singlet quark model…
The $K \rightarrow \mu\mu$ decays have recently been identified as another golden kaon physics mode alongside the rare $K \rightarrow\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ processes. These golden modes provide precision tests of the Standard Model with very high…
Present limits on neutrino masses are briefly reviewed, along with cosmological and astrophysical hints from dark matter, solar and atmospheric neutrino observations that suggest neutrino masses. These would imply many possible new…
In this work, we study the long-standing experimental anomaly in muon $(g-2)$ and also recent anomalous excess in $K_L\to \pi^0+\nu\bar\nu$ at the J-PARC KOTO experiment with sgoldstino. After supersymmetry breaking, the interactions…
Photonic events with large missing energy have been observed in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130, 136, 161 and 172 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Results are presented based on search topologies designed to select…
We analyze rare kaon decays in models in which the dominant new effect is an enhanced $\bar s d Z$ vertex $Z_{ds}$. We point out that in spite of large theoretical uncertainties the CP-violating ratio $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$ provides at…
After discussion of mechanisms of lepton number violation, we consider meson decays $K^+ \to\pi^ - \ell ^ + \ell '^ +$ and $D^ + \to K^ - \ell ^ + \ell '^ +$ ($\ell,\ell ' = e,\mu $) with $\Delta L= 2$ in the Standard Model extended by…
We construct the New Minimal Standard Model that incorporates the new discoveries of physics beyond the Minimal Standard Model (MSM): Dark Energy, non-baryonic Dark Matter, neutrino masses, as well as baryon asymmetry and cosmic inflation,…
The Belle II collaboration has recently observed the rare decay $B^+\to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$, finding an excess with respect to the Standard Model prediction. We explore the possibility that the data entails long-distance interactions induced…
We investigate the potential of leptonic meson decays $M \to \ell \bar\nu_\ell$, where $M$ is a pseudo-scalar meson, as a probe of neutrino portal dark matter. The model of our focus features a neutral fermion $\psi$ and scalar $\phi$,…
If Lorentz symmetry is violated at high energies, interactions that are usually non-renormalizable can become renormalizable by weighted power counting. Recently, a CPT invariant, Lorentz violating extension of the Standard Model containing…
We show that lepton number violating muon decays, \mu^+ -> e^+ + \nu_e-bar + \nu_i-bar (i=e, \mu or \tau), can consistently explain the neutrino anomaly reported by the LSND experiment. Two effective operators in the Standard Model are…
We investigate the possibility to probe lepton number violating (LNV) operators in the rare kaon decay $K\to\pi\nu\nu$. Performing the analysis in the Standard Model effective field theory with only light active Majorana neutrinos, we…
