Motivated by concerns regarding possible two-body contributions to the recently-measured inclusive $\Upsilon$(nS)$\to\gamma+X$ direct photon spectrum, we report on a preliminary new study of exclusive radiative decays of the $\Upsilon$…
We report on a search for large extra dimensions in a data sample of approximately 1 fb^{-1} of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. We investigate Kaluza-Klein graviton production with a photon and missing transverse energy in the final…
In a transient magnetic field, heavy quarkonium bound states evolve non adiabatically. In presence of a strong magnetic field, $J/\Psi$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ become more tightly bound than we expected earlier for a pure thermal medium. We have…
Inspired by the potential prospects of high-luminosity dedicated colliders and the high enthusiasms in searching for new physics in the flavor sector at the intensity frontier, the ${\Upsilon}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $D^{-}{\pi}^{+}$,…
The realization that first- and second-generation Yukawa couplings can be probed by decays of the Higgs boson to a meson in association with a photon has renewed interest in such rare exclusive decays. We present here a detailed study of…
Following searches for photinos and very light gravitinos in invisible decays of psi and Upsilon, we discuss new limits on Light Dark Matter and U bosons, from psi and Upsilon decays, as well as rare decays of K+ and invisible decays of…
Discovery of a Higgs boson and precise measurements of its properties open a new window to test physics beyond the standard model. Models with Universal Extra Dimensions are not exception. Kaluza-Klein excitations of the standard model…
One of the most stimulating recent ideas in particle physics involves a possibility that our universe has additional compactified spatial dimensions, perhaps as large as 1 mm. In this review, we discuss the results of recent experimental…
We point out kaon decays to multiple charged leptons as a novel probe of light dark particles $X$. Previously neglected channels, such as $K^+\to \pi^+ \left(XX \to 2(e^+e^-)\right)$, $K_L\to \pi^0 \left( XX \to 2(e^+e^-)\right)$, and…
One of the drawbacks of conventional grand unification scenarios has been that the unification scale is too high to permit direct exploration. In this paper, we show that the unification scale can be significantly lowered (perhaps even to…
With anticipation of abundant Upsilons data sample at high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments in the future, we studied nonleptonic two-body weak decays of ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ below the open-bottom threshold with $n$ $=$ $1$, $2$ and $3$. It…
A study of transitions between $\Upsilon$ states with the emission of charged pions using 398 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$ collider is presented. A clear peak from the decay…
We review the status of theory and experiment of very rare and forbidden kaon decays. We then review the radiative non-leptonic decays, and the associated Dalitz pair modes. We pay particular attention to the study of long distance physics…
We report a search for effects of large extra spatial dimensions in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV with the DZero detector, using events containing a pair of electrons or photons. The data are in good agreement with…
We discuss how compactified extra dimensions may have potentially observable effects which grow as the compactification scale decreases. This arises because of lightcone fluctuations in the uncompactified dimensions which can result in the…
The rare semileptonic Bc-> D_s^* \ell^+ \ell^- decay is studied in the scenario of the universal extra dimension model with a single extra dimension in which inverse of the compactification radius R is the only new parameter. The…
We estimate the most important corrections to the branching ratios for the invisible decays of quarkonium states, arising from possible extensions of the standard model. Among the possibilities considered are the presence of extra Z-bosons,…
A brief review of the recent developments in the physics from extra dimensions is given with a focus on the effects of Kaluza-Klein excitations in the Standard Model sector. It is shown that the current accurate data on the Fermi constant…
A search for large extra spatial dimensions via virtual-graviton exchange in the diphoton channel has been carried out with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess of events above the standard model expectations is found using a data sample…
We point out that some models with infinite additional dimension(s) of Randall-Sundrum type predict the disappearance of orthopositronium (o-Ps) into additional dimension(s). The experimental signature of this effect is the o-Ps ->…
