Flavour changing neutral current decays mediated by b --> s l^+ l^- were under experimental investigation at B-factories and the Tevatron during the last decade and the final analysis are expected soon. Moreover, new data has been released…

Physics of the up-type flavour offers unique possibilities of testing the Standard Model (SM) compared to the down-type flavour sector. Here, we discuss SM and New Physics (NP) contributions to the rare charm-meson decay $ D^0 \to \pi^+…

The hadronic weak decays of $\Lambda_c$ are studied in the framework of a constituent quark model. With the combined analysis of the Cabbibo-favored processes, $\Lambda_c\to \Lambda\pi^+$, $\Sigma^0\pi^+$ and $\Sigma^+\pi^0$, we confirm…

Several deviations from the Standard Model predictions have been recently observed in the decays mediated by $b \rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ transitions. These could be pointing towards new vector-current contributions or could be explained by…

We analyze the potential of rare charm decays as probes of new physics at a high-luminosity flavor facility operating at the $Z$ pole, such as the FCC-ee or CEPC. In particular, we identify clean null-test observables in $D^0 \to \pi^+…

Rare radiative, leptonic and semileptonic B meson decays are valuable probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk reviews the sensitivity to new physics of observables related to two rare B decays to be measured in the near…

We describe the phenomenology of the flavour changing neutral current sector of a supersymmetric model, invariant under the T' discrete flavour group. This model has been proposed in Ref.[1] and describes realistic leptonic and hadronic…

We investigate the rare baryonic ${\Lambda}_b\rightarrow{\Lambda}l^+ l^-$ decays in a non-universal $Z'$ model, which is one of the well-motivated extensions of the standard model (SM). Considering the effects of $Z'$-mediated…

Discrepancies between Standard Model predictions and experimental measurements of the fractions R_c and R_b of hadronic Z decays to charm and bottom are investigated. We show that there exists a discrepancy in two complementary…

$|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1$ processes are unique probes of flavor physics in the up-sector within and beyond the Standard Model (SM). SM tests with rare semileptonic charm meson decays are based on an approximate CP--symmetry, a superior…

The flavor changing neutral current decays $t\to c X$ ($X=\gamma,\,g,\, Z,\, H$) and $t\to c\bar \ell\ell $ ($\ell=\mu,\,\tau$) are studied in a renormalizable scalar leptoquark (LQ) model with no proton decay, where a scalar $SU(2)$…

There are two main ways of looking for new physics, direct searches and precision measurements. The latter are sensitive to a broader spectrum of models; they also can be sensitive to higher energy scales than what can be reached through…

Decays of the type $B\to D hh^\prime$, where a $b$~hadron decays to a neutral charm meson that can be an admixture of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}{}^0$ states together with two light particles that are typically a kaon and a pion, have…

Quark and lepton flavor signals are studied in four supersymmetric models, namely the minimal supergravity model, the minimal supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos, SU(5) supersymmetric grand unified theory with…

An analysis of charm mesons decaying semileptonically via Flavor Changing Neutral Currents is presented. We calculate the Wilson coefficients within the Standard Model. A window in the decay distribution, where physics beyond the Standard…

The decays D^0 -> gamma gamma, $mu^+ mu^- are highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) with the lion's share of the rate coming from long distance dynamics; D^0 -> mu^+ mu^- is driven predominantly by D^0 -> gamma gamma -> mu^+ mu^-.…

I would like to discuss $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ the mixing and rare D decays as manifestations of Flavor Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) in the charm sector. I will first review the expectations in the Standard Model (SM) and then summarize some…

We analyse various flavour changing processes like $t\to hu,hc$, $h\to \tau e,\tau\mu$ as well as hadronic decays $h\to bs,bd$, in the framework of a class of two Higgs doublet models where there are flavour changing neutral scalar currents…

In this talk we report on a study on the mixing of neutral charmed mesons and argue that, at the present stage, a CP violating weak phase of the order of some per mille can not be excluded in the Standard Model. It is shown how some,…

We revisit rare radiative leptonic decays $B_{s,d}\to \gamma e^+e^-$ and $B_{s,d}\to \gamma \mu^+\mu^-$ in the Standard Model and provide the updated estimates for various differential distributions (the branching ratios, the…
