The differential branching fraction of the decay $\Lambda_b^0\rightarrow\Lambda\mu^+\mu^-$ is measured as a function of the square of the dimuon invariant mass, $q^2$. A yield of $78\pm12$ $\Lambda_b^0\rightarrow\Lambda\mu^+\mu^-$ decays is…

We apply the general formalism derived in N. Penalva et al. [Phys. Rev. D 101, 113004 (2020)] to the semileptonic decay of pseudoscalar mesons containing a $b$ quark. While present $B\to D^{(*)}$ data give the strongest evidence in favor of…

Inspired by the discrepancies observed in the $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ neutral current decays, we study the decay channel $B_c\to D_s^{(\ast)} \,\ell^+\ell^-$ ($\ell=\mu,\tau$), which is based on the same flavor changing neutral current (FCNC)…

Nuclear $\beta$ decays as well as the decay of the neutron are well-established low-energy probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In particular, with the axial-vector coupling of the nucleon $g_A$ determined from lattice QCD, the…

We address the recent anomalies in semi-leptonic $B$-meson decays using a model of fermion masses based on the $U(2)$ flavor symmetry. The new contributions to $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions arise due to a tree-level exchange of a…
