Weak decays and mixing of B-hadrons play a special role in our understanding of the physics of the Standard Model and beyond. The measured amplitudes, however, result from a complicated interplay of weak and strong interaction effects.…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
The existence of New Physics particles can be probed by performing precision measurements of physics phenomena at the few GeV energy scale. The decays of B and D mesons are an excellent example of relatively low energy phenomena that can be…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
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 will present the most recent results from the BABAR Collaboration concerning New Physics searches in rare B and Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) decays, including b --> s transitions, purely leptonic B decays and LFV tau decays.
We study the rare decays of $B_{s} \to M_s\ell \bar{\ell}$ ($M_s=\eta, \eta',\phi$ and $\ell=\nu,e,\mu,\tau$) in the standard model. With the hadronic form factors evaluated in the light front and constituent quark models, we estimate the…
The Belle-II experiment has recently measured $\mathcal{B}(B^+\to K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$, which appears to be almost $3\sigma$ larger than its Standard Model (SM) prediction. In this talk, I will critically revisit the status of the SM…
At the present time, there are hints of new physics (NP) in several observables involving $b \to c \ell^- {\bar\nu}_\ell$ decays. In this talk, I describe measurable angular distributions for ${\bar B} \to D^* \mu^- {\bar\nu}_\mu$ and…
We study the decays of $B\to K^{(*)} \ell^{+} \ell^{-}$ in split supersymmetry with R-parity violation. We find that the decay branching ratio of $B\to K\tau^+\tau^-$ in the new physics model due to the scalar interactions can be $1.8\times…
Rare decays of b-hadrons provide high sensitivity to New Physics effects. Several deviations with respect to the Standard Model predictions have been observed in recent years, leading to significant tensions in global fit analyses. It is…
A short summary is given of the current status of B physics. Reasons for physics beyond the Standard Model are discussed. Constraints on New Physics are given using measurements of B mixing, Bs mixing, and CP violation, along with |Vub.…
In this talk, we point out some of the present and future possible signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model from B-meson decays, taking R-parity conserving and violating supersymmetry as illustrative examples.
Using the most general, model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian rare decays (B -> l^+ l^- gamma (l=mu, tau)) are studied. The sensitivity of the photon energy distribution and branching ratio to the new Wilson coefficients is…
T--odd correlations as physical observables in the $B \rar K^\ast \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay have been studied using the most general form of the effective Hamiltonian. It is observed that these quantities are very sensitive to the new physics.…
For well over half a century, precision studies of neutron and nuclear $\beta$ decays have been at the forefront of searches for exotic electroweak physics. Recent advances in nuclear ab initio theory and the widespread use of effective…
We have just entered a new round in the testing of the flavour sector of the Standard Model through high-precision measurements of B-meson decays. A particularly exciting aspect is the exploration of the B_s-meson system at LHCb. We focus…
The work is devoted to the study of b-s anomaly decays. We evaluated branching fractions of $B\to K^\ast \mu^+\mu^-$, $B^0_s\to \phi\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ decays and compared them with available experimental data and with…
Flavour physics plays a crucial role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). While $B$ physics offers many observables to look for deviations from the SM, the highest new physics sensitivity can be obtained in the rare…
Recent BABAR and Belle results on rare B decays involving photons or lepton pairs are reviewed. New preliminary limits from both experiments for B-->rho gamma and B-->omega gamma, and from BABAR for B --> K nu nu and B --> tau nu are…
