Precision measurements of the branching ratios (BRs) for rare kaon decays can provide unique constraints on CKM unitarity and may reveal the existence of new physics. The BRs for two of these decays, $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ and…
Our article is devoted to the study of the rare $B\to K^\ast \ell^+\ell^-$~decay where $\ell=e,\mu,\tau$. We compute the relevant form factors in the framework of the covariant quark model with infrared confinement in the full kinematical…
Rare Kaon decays and CP violation are important tools to test the Standard Model and its extensions. We describe kaon physics observables testing CP violation and more generally short distance physics. Channels under consideration will be K…
We analyse the rare kaon decays $K_S \to \gamma\gamma$ and $K_S \to \gamma\ell^+\ell^-$ $(\ell = e \mbox{ or } \mu)$ in a dispersive framework in which the weak Hamiltonian carries momentum. Our analysis extends predictions from lowest…
The rare B_s-> \phi \ell^+ \ell^- decay is investigated by using the most general model independent effective Hamiltonian for $\ell= \mu, \tau$. The calculated $Br(B_s \rar \phi \mu^+ \mu^-) = 1.92 \times 10^{-6}$ is in consistent with the…
We present a model independent analysis of new-physics contributions to the decays K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu and K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu. We parameterize the effects of new physics in these decays by two parameters: r_K and \theta_K,…
The non-leptonic $D^0\to K^- K^+$ and $D^0\to \pi^-\pi^+$ decays are powerful probes of the Standard Model and are related to each other through the $U$-spin symmetry of the strong interaction. Using lattice QCD inputs we calculate the…
