The flavor changing rare decay $B\to K^{*}(\to K\pi)\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the most studied modes due to its sensitivity to physics beyond the standard model and several discrepancies have come to light among the plethora of observables…
We benefit from a recent lattice determination of the full set of vector, axial and tensor form factors for the $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda^*_c(2595)\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ and $\Lambda^*_c(2625)\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ semileptonic decays to study the…
We study the lepton flavor violation in the supersymmetric seesaw model taking into account recent experimental improvements, especially for the Higgs boson mass measurement, direct searches of superpartners and the rare decay of B_s -> mu+…
Semileptonic decays of charged and neutral $B$ mesons play a critical role in the determination of the magnitudes of the CKM-matrix elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$, and in the test of the lepton universality which is a basic assumption of…
We consider an abelian extension of the Standard Model (SM) comprising a new gauge group $U(1)^\prime$, with the neutral gauge boson $Z^\prime$ having flavour violating couplings to quarks and leptons. The fermion content is the same as in…
In this paper, we propose a $G_{L-R}\times U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge-symmetric model where $G_{L-R}$ is the left-right gauge symmetry and $L_i$ is the $i-$flavor lepton number. We use the spontaneous breaking (SSB) of $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$…
Lepton universality, meaning the equal coupling of the electroweak gauge bosons to the different lepton flavours, is a central property of the Standard Model (SM). Tests of lepton universality in ratios of rates of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$…
The universality of the weak interactions can be tested in semileptonic $b \to c$ transitions, and in particular in the ratios $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv \Gamma(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau \nu )/\Gamma(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \ell \nu )$ (where $\ell…
Semileptonic and purely leptonic decays of B meson to $\tau$, such as $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ and $B\to\tau\nu_\tau$ are studied. Recognizing that there already were some weak hints of possible deviations from the SM in the…
We present the first comprehensive tests of light-lepton universality in the angular distributions of semileptonic $B^0$-meson decays to charged spin-1 charmed mesons. We measure five angular-asymmetry observables as functions of the decay…
Lepton flavor violation (LFV) has been observed in neutrino oscillations. For charged lepton FV decays only upper limits are known, but sizable branching ratios are expected in many neutrino mass models. High scale models, such as the…
The measurement of lepton universality parameters $R_{K^{(*)}}$ was updated by LHCb in December 2022, which indicated that the well-known anomalies in flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes of B meson decays have faded away.…
High precision electroweak tests, such as deviations from the Standard Model expectations of the Lepton Flavor Universality breaking in K->lnu (with l= e or mu), represent a powerful tool to test the Standard Model and, hence, to constrain…
We address the constraints on the SUSY seesaw parameters arising from Lepton Flavour Violation observables. Working in the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended by three right-handed (s)neutrinos, we study the…
We analyze the baryonic semilepton decay $\Lambda_{b} \rightarrow$ $\Lambda \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ in the scalar leptoquark models with $X(3,2,7/6)$ and $X(3,2,1/6)$ states, respectively. We also discuss the effects of this two NP models on some…
The measurements of several lepton flavor universality (LFU) violating observables in the decays induced by the quark level transition $b \to c \tau \bar{\nu}$ provide an inkling of plausible physics beyond the standard model of electroweak…
We confront the indications of lepton flavor universality (LFU) violation observed in semi-tauonic $B$ meson decays with new physics (NP) searches using high $p_T$ tau leptons at the LHC. Using effective field theory arguments we correlate…
We study whether the individual violation of the lepton numbers L_{e,mu,tau} in the charged sector can lead to measurable rates for BR(mu->e gamma) and BR(tau->mu gamma). We consider three different scenarios, the fist one corresponds to…
Tension between the Standard Model (SM) and data concerning $b \rightarrow s$ processes has become apparent. Most notoriously, concerning the $R_K$ ratio, which probes lepton non-universality in $b$ decays, and measurements involving the…
