We investigate leptonic decays $D_s \to \tau \nu_\tau$ and $B^+ \to \tau \nu_\tau$ in R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric standard model. Taking account of interference between the s-channel slepton exchange and the $t$-channel squark…

Nuclear super-allowed $\beta$ decay has been used to obtain tight limits on the value of the CKM matrix element $V_{ud}$ that is important for unitarity tests, and therefore important for tests of the standard model. Current requirements on…
Exchange of two neutrinos (as well as other fermions) generates a long-range parity-violating (PV) potential of the form $\sim G^2/r^5$, with characteristic range $\hbar/(2m_\nu c)$. In atomic systems the corresponding matrix elements…
The Standard Model of Particle Physics predicts the double-$\beta$ decay of certain nuclei with the emission of two active neutrinos. In this letter, we argue that double-$\beta$ decay experiments could be used to probe models with light…
We have developed an efficient formulation for the study of the generic supersymmetric standard model, which admits all kind of R-parity violating terms. Using the formulation, we discuss all sources of fermion dipole moment contributions…
