In recent times, one of the strongest hints of Physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has been the anomaly in the ratios $R_D$ and $R_{D^\ast}$ measured in the charged current decays of $B$-mesons. In this work, we perform a comprehensive…
Decays of $B$ mesons with leptons in the final state offer an interesting laboratory to search for possible effects of physics from beyond the Standard Model. In view of puzzling patterns in experimental data, the violation of lepton…

We perform a model independent analysis of new physics in $B^*_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay. We intend to identify new physics operator(s) which can provide large enhancement in the branching ratio of $B^*_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$…

We examine the ability of future facilities to discover and interpret non-supersymmetric new phenomena. We first explore explicit manifestations of new physics, including extended gauge sectors, leptoquarks, exotic fermions, and technicolor…
We study model-independently the implications of non-standard scalar and pseudoscalar interactions for the decays b ->s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+l^- (l=e,mu) and B_s -> mu^+ mu^-. We find sizeable renormalization effects from scalar and…
The system of $B^0_s\to D_s^\mp K^\pm$ decays offers a theoretically clean determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the Unitarity Triangle. A corresponding LHCb analysis resulted in a surprisingly large result, which is in tension with other…
Including the recent preliminary results of BaBar and BELLE experiments, we update the currently allowed intervals for various CKM parameters: $\bar\rho$, $\bar\eta$, $\sin2\beta$, $\sin2\alpha$, $\sin^2\gamma$. We also update the SM…
Extensions of the Standard Model which involve a new scale, $\Lambda$, may, for energies sufficiently small compared to this new scale, be expressed in terms of operators with energy dimension greater than four. The coefficients of just…
$B$ physics plays important roles in searching for the new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). Recently, some deviations between experimental data and SM predictions were reported, namely $R(D^{(*)})$, $P_5^\prime$ and…
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…
Following updated and extended measurements of the full angular distribution of the decay $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda(\to p\,\pi^-)\mu^+\mu^-$ by the LHCb collaborations, as well as a new measurement of the $\Lambda \to p \pi^-$ decay asymmetry…
We study possible new physics contributions in $B\to\pi\tau\bar\nu $ and $B\to\tau\bar\nu$ employing the model-independent effective Lagrangian that describes the quark-level transition $b \to u \tau\nu$ at low energies. The decay rate of…
I report on investigations of physics beyond the Standard Model using experiments designed to investigate $b$ quark and $c$ quark interactions. Generalized searches involving loop diagrams using heavy meson mixing and CP violation…
New physics in the lepton sector may account for neutrino masses, affect electroweak precision observables, induce charged-lepton flavour violation, and shift dipole moments. The low-energy predictions of different models are most…
Recent anomalies in decays induced by $b\to c \ell^- \bar\nu_\ell$ transitions raise the question about such phenomena in the $D$ decays induced by $c\to (s,d)\ell^+\nu_\ell$ transitions. In the experimental side, current measurements on…
New physics effects in $B$ decays are routinely modeled through operators invariant under the strong and electromagnetic gauge symmetries. Assuming the scale for new physics is well above the electro-weak scale, we further require…
The anomalies in rare $B$ decays endure. We present results of an updated global analysis that takes into account the latest experimental input -- in particular the recent results on $R_K$ and BR$(B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-)$ -- and that…
We explore a scenario of New Physics entering the description of $B\to K^{(\ast )} \mu \mu$ decay through couplings to the operators ${\cal O}_{9,10}^\prime$, satisfying $C_9^\prime = - C_{10}^\prime$. From the current data on ${\cal…
