The penguin loop-suppressed $B\to\phi K$ decays are highly sensitive to contributions of hypothetical heavy new particles. Particularly interesting probes for testing the Standard Model and revealing such phenomena are provided by CP…
Recent results from CLEO on $B\to K\pi$ indicate that the phase $\gamma$ may be substantially different from that obtained from other fit to the KM matrix elements in the Standard Model. We show that $\gamma$ extracted using $B\to K\pi,…
The observation of a sizable direct CP asymmetry in the inclusive decays B -> X_s gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, this asymmetry is below 1% in magnitude. In extensions of the Standard Model with new…

The determination of the mixing induced CP-violating asymmetry in decays such as $B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment. Its value is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model but can be significantly…
We study the possibility of measuring nonstandard CP violation effects through Dalitz plot analysis in B^\pm -> D_s^\pm D^0 pi^0 decays. The accuracy in the extraction of CP violating phases is analyzed by performing a Monte Carlo…
It is shown that in the approximation of $|\frac{q}{p}|$=1 the CP violation in $B^0_{d,s} \to l^+ l^-$ decays vanishes in SM. In a 2HDM with CP violating phases and MSSM the CP asymmetries depend on the parameters of models and can be as…
This paper gives a brief overview of the present and expected future limits on physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) from neutron beta decay, which is described by two parameters only within the SM. Since more than two observables are…
Particularly interesting processes to test the Standard Model are non-leptonic $B^0_s \rightarrow D_s^{\pm} K^{\mp}$ transitions. As these decays occur via pure tree diagrams, they allow a theoretically clean determination of the angle…
I briefly review CP violation in the B system, concentrating on B -> pi K decays. I discuss how to deal with electroweak-penguin contributions to these decays using flavour SU(3). With these, I show that the entire unitarity triangle can be…
New physics effects in $B$ decays are routinely modeled through operators invariant under the strong and electromagnetic gauge symmetries. Assuming the scale for new physics is well above the electro-weak scale, we further require…
We study some possible experimental consequences of new physics on the spectrum and decays of bottomonium states below $B\bar{B}$ threshold. In addition to lepton universality breaking in Upsilon decays, large widths of pseudoscalar…
At present, there are several measurements of $B$ decays that exhibit discrepancies with the predictions of the SM, and suggest the presence of new physics (NP) in $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ transitions. Many NP models have been proposed as…
In this talk we discuss rare B decays (b -> s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+ l^-), B-\bar{B} oscillations and CP violation in B physics in the context of low-energy SUSY. We outline the variety of predictions that arise according to the choice…
