In this paper we introduce a simple renormalizable model of an extended color gauge sector in which the third-generation quarks couple differently than the lighter quarks. In addition to a set of heavy color-octet vector bosons (colorons),…
Mixing-demixing transitions in one-dimensional mixtures of fermions and bosons are numerically investigated. With Monte Carlo simulations, we searched the transitions by changing various parameters such as number densities of each…
$B_q^0-B_^0 bar$ mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, $B_s^0-B_s^0 bar$ and $B_d^0-B_d^0 bar$ mass differences are considered taking the effect of both Z-and Z' -mediated…
The decay mode $B_s\to\psi \overline{K}^*$ is suggested as a very good way to measure the $B_s$ mixing parameter $x_s$. These decays can be gathered using a $\psi\to\ell^+\ell^-$ trigger. This final state has a well resolved four track…
We build a class of two-Higgs-doublet models in which the flavour-changing couplings of the neutral scalars are related in an exact way to elements of the quark mixing matrix. In this framework, we explore the different possibilities for CP…
$B_d$ and $B_s$ meson systems play a fundamental role to test and improve our understanding of Standard Model flavor dynamics. The mixing parameters $\Delta m_{d,s}$ represent important constraints in the unitarity triangle analysis. Their…
I present a new model for the quark mass matrices, which uses four scalar doublets together with a horizontal symmetry S3 x Z3. The model is inspired on a suggestion made a few years ago by Ma, but it is different. The predictions |Vts|…
We study the contribution to flavor changing neutral current processes from box diagrams with light higgsinos and squarks. Starting with just the Cabbibo Kobayashi Maskawa (CKM) phase, we find contributions to the $K^0$ and $B^0$ meson mass…
If the standard model Higgs boson were much heavier, it would appear as a broad resonance since its decay into a pair of longitudinally polarized gauge bosons is highly enhanced. We study whether the same enhancement happens at loop level…
Like many other models, Composite Higgs Models feature the existence of heavy vector-like quarks. Mixing effects between the Standard Model fields and the heavy states, which can be quite large in case of the top quark, imply deviations…
We study the neutral current flavour changing rare decay mode $B\to X_s +$ missing energy within the framework of theories with large extra spatial dimensions. The corresponding Standard Model signature is $B\to X_s + \nu \bar{\nu}$. But in…
For a model with a fourth family of quarks, new sources of flavor changing neutral currents are identified by confronting the unitary 4x4 quark mixing matrix with the experimental measured values of the familiar 3x3 quark mixing matrix. By…
We consider the effects of a non-vanishing strange-quark mass in the determination of the full basis of dimension six matrix elements for $B_{s}$ mixing, in particular we get for the ratio of the $V-A$ Bag parameter in the $B_s$ and $B_d$…
We emphasise that even in the extreme chiral limit where only the top and bottom quarks acquire mass, quark mixing is physically meaningful. This implies that the natural value of $|V_{13}|^2 + |V_{23}|^2$ is of order one, which is to be…
The standard model extended with the pairs of the vector-like families is studied. The model independent analysis for an arbitrary case and an explicit realization for the case with one pair of the heavy vector-like families are considered.…
We investigate the effects of flavor dependence on the rare weak decays of $ B_c^{*} $ and $B_s^{*}$ mesons to psuedoscalar and vector mesons in the final state. We use the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel model framework to calculate the flavor…
We investigate the effect of general flavour mixing among squarks on the rare decays $\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma$, $\bar{B}_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $\bar{B}_s-B_s$ mixing beyond the leading order in perturbation theory. We include all large…
Flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are described by loop diagrams in the Standard Model (SM), while in 331 models, based on the gauge group $\text{SU}(3)_C \times \text{SU}(3)_L \times \text{U}(1)_X$, they are dominated by…
We argue why vector-like quarks are usually expected to mix predominantly with the third generation, and discuss about the expected size of this mixing and its naturalness.
We show how a novel fine-tuning problem present in the Standard Model can be solved through the introduction of a single flavour symmetry G, together with three $Q = - 1/3$ quarks, three $Q = 2/3$ quarks, as well as a complex singlet…
