Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…
We suppose that there is new physics (NP) in b -> s transitions, and examine its effect on the angular distribution of B_q^0 -> V_1 V_2 (q=d,s), where V_{1,2} are vector mesons. We find that, in the presence of such NP, the formulae…
In this work, we perform a analysis of semi-leptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of heavy baryons: $\Lambda_{b},\Xi_{b},\Omega_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{c},\Xi_{c},\Omega_{c}$. For nonleptonic decay modes, we study only the factorizable channels…
The rare decays {$B^- \to \tau \bar\nu$}, \mbox{$B \to \tau^+ \tau^-$}, {$b \to X \nu \bar\nu$} and \mbox{$b \to X \tau^+ \tau^-$} all contain third generation leptons in the final state, and hence are sensitive to new physics that couples…
In the Standard Model, b quarks produced in e^+e^- annihilation at the Z^0 peak have a large average longitudinal polarization of -0.94. Some fraction of this polarization is expected to be transferred to b-flavored baryons during…
The $\b$ decay does not receive any nonspectator contributions and hence its theoretical calculation is relatively clean. Two different methods are employed for the study of $\b$. In the first method, both $b$ and $s$ quarks are treated as…
In this paper, we analyze different decay observables of semileptonic $ B_c$ decays into $(D_(s,d)^((*))){\mu}^+ {\mu}^-$ such as branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, polarization fraction and lepton polarization asymmetry in the…
Motivated by recent anomalies in observables associated with flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions, specifically $b \rightarrow s \ell^+ \ell^-$ processes, we present a comprehensive analysis of lepton flavor-violating (LFV)…
There are several anomalous measurements in the decays induced by the quark level transition $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$, which do not agree with the predictions of the Standard Model. These measurements could be considered as signatures of…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported the first observation of the decay $\bar B_s^0\to \Lambda_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-$, along with measurements of the branching fractions for both $\bar B^0\to \Lambda_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-$ and $\bar…
We investigate the observables available in the angular distribution of B to K* mu+ mu- to identify those suitable for measurements in the first few years of LHC data taking. As experimental uncertainties will dominate, we focus on…
A model-independent analysis for the exclusive, rare B -> K^* l^+ l^- decay is presented. Systematically studied are the experimentally measured quantities, such as, branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, longitudinal polarization of…

The recent measurements on $R_D$, $R_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/\psi}$ by three pioneering experiments, BaBar, Belle and LHCb, indicate that the notion of lepton flavour universality is violated in the weak charged-current processes, mediated through…
Latest Lattice results on $D$ form factors evaluation from first principles show that the standard model (SM) branching ratios prediction for the leptonic $D_s \to \ell \nu_\ell$ decays and the semileptonic SM branching ratios of the $D^0$…
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…
This study examines the rare decay $B \to K_0^*(1430)\,\ell^+ \ell^-$ as a possible probe for new physics beyond the standard model (SM). We first analyze this channel within the SM and then include scalar leptoquark (LQ) contributions. We…
We present allowed regions in the space of observables of certain non-leptonic B-meson decays that characterize these modes within the Standard Model. A future measurement of observables lying significantly outside of these regions would…
