The observation potential of the decay B+ -> K+K+pi- with the ATLAS detector at LHC is described in this paper. In the Standard Model this decay mode is highly suppressed, while in models beyond the Standard Model it could be significantly…
SuperKamiokande experiment tightly bounds the lifetimes of the baryon number violating proton decays. The decay widths for the nucleon to an antilepton and a photon are not so well bounded experimentally as $\ell \pi$ modes. Using an…
We propose to perform a combined analysis of $B \to \pi\pi$ and $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ modes, in the framework of a global CKM fit. The method optimizes the constraining power of these decays and allows to derive constraints on NP contributions…
Form factors of rare (B -> K_0*(1430) l^+ l^-$ decay) decay are calculated within three-point QCD sum rules, with (K_0* (1430)) being the p-wave scalar meson. The branching ratios are estimated when only short, as well as short and long…
The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS aims to measure the branching ratio of the rare decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ with a relative precision of $\sim10%$. To achieve that goal, it is designed to be exposed to $1.2\times 10^{13}$ $K^+$ decays…
Utilizing form factors calculated within the light-cone sum rules, we have evaluated the decay branching ratios of $B_s\to \phi\gamma$ and $B_s\to \phi \ell^+\ell^-$ in a single universal extra dimension model (UED), which is viewed as one…
A search for the decay K_S -> pi^0mu^+mu^- has been made by the NA48/1 Collaboration at the CERN SPS accelerator. The data were collected during 2002 with a high-intensity K_S beam. Six events were found with a background expectation of…
Recently, the KOTO experiment at J-PARC has observed three anomalous events in the flavor-changing rare decay $K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar\nu$, which indicates that the corresponding branching ratio is almost two orders of magnitude larger than…
We searched for the $CP$-violating rare decay of neutral kaon, $K_{L} \to \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu}$, in data from the first 100 hours of physics running in 2013 of the J-PARC KOTO experiment. One candidate event was observed while…
In this paper I will describe the search for rare kaon decay processes $K^+\to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ and $K^0_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar\nu$. The small decay rate for these processes is considered a key prediction of the standard model. We searched…
We study a new $K\rightarrow\pi\pi$ decay channel with gluons in intermediate state which is normally neglected within the factorization framework. Both short-distance and long-distance parts of the amplitude are calculated. The chiral…
Using $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, collected at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we present precise measurements of $D^0 \to K^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$ and $D^+…
Existing predictions for the branching ratio for $\phi\rightarrow K\bar{K}\gamma$ {\it via} $\phi\rightarrow S\gamma$ (where $S$ denotes one of the scalar mesons $f_0$(975) and $a_0$(980)) vary by several orders of magnitude. Given the…
Using 214 fb-1 of data recorded by the Babar detector at the PEPII electron-positron collider, we study the decay Ds+ --> K+ K- e+ nu. Except for a small S-wave contribution, the events with K+K- masses in the range 1.01-1.03 GeV/c2…
Kaon physics provides a unique opportunity to identify new flavour and CP violating interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, implied by the hierarchical structure of the CKM matrix and the GIM mechanism, flavour changing…
Dispersion relations---a corollary of unitarity and analyticity---are among the few methods which can be employed to study low energy processes in QCD. In this work we critically revisit the calculation of decay widths of a hypothetical…
We reconstruct the rare decays $B^+ \to K^+\mu^+\mu^-$, $B^0 \to K^{*}(892)^0\mu^+\mu^-$, and $B^0_s \to \phi(1020)\mu^+\mu^-$ in a data sample corresponding to $4.4 {\rm fb^{-1}}$ collected in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 {\rm…
