The rare decays $B^+\to K^+ \mu\bar \mu$ and $B^0\to K^{*0} \mu\bar\mu$ provide the strongest constraints on the mixing of a light scalar with the Higgs boson for GeV-scale masses. The constraints sensitively depend on the branching ratio…

We investigate the recent CDF measurement of the Br(B_s --> mu+mu-) which shows excess over the Standard Model. We consider minimal supergravity motivated models (mSUGRA)/CMSSM and grand unified models, SU(5) and SO(10). In the grand…

Very recently, the CDF Collaboration reported the first non-zero measurement of the $B_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ branching fraction. The central value of this measurement is more than 5 times of that predicted in the Standard Model and, if…

Recent study on the charged top-pion correction to R_b shows that it is negative and large, so that the precision experimental value of R_b gives rise to a severe constraint on the topcolor-assisted technicolor models such that the top-pion…

We calculate the contributions to the rare B-decays, $B \to X_{s,d} \nu \bar \nu$, $B_{s,d} \to l^+l^- $ from the unit-charged technipions. Within the considered parameter space we find that: (a) the enhancements to the branching ratios in…

We have searched for the leptonic and radiative leptonic B decays, B^+ -> mu^+ nu, B^+ -> e^+ nu gamma and B^+ -> mu^+ nu gamma. Using a 140 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e^+ e^- collider, we…

Simple dynamics, few available decay channels, and highly controlled radiative and loop corrections, make pion and muon decays a sensitive means of exploring details of the underlying symmetries. We review the current status of the rare…

The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model contains in general sources of tau lepton flavour violation which induce the rare decays tau --> mu gamma and tau --> e gamma. We argue in this paper that the observation of both rare processes…

A recent study by Randall and Sundrum shows that models of Extended Technicolor (ETC) have interesting implications on rare B decays. We extend their study to the decay B -> mu+ mu- X. ETC models with a GIM mechanism predict a decay rate…

The rare decay $B^0_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ plays a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. It is pointed out that the sizable decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the $B_s$-meson system affects this channel in a subtle way. As a…

We search for new charmless decays of neutral b-hadrons to pairs of charged hadrons with the upgraded Collider Detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using a data sample corresponding to 1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity, we report the first…

We study the observability of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at an upgraded Fermilab Tevatron via the mode $h \to W^*W^*$. We concentrate on the main channel $gg \to h \to W^*W^* \to l \nu l \nu$. We also find the mode $q\bar q'\to W h…

A search for the rare decays $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is performed at the LHCb experiment using data collected in $pp$ collisions corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb$^{-1}$. An excess of…

We study the inclusive semileptonic rare decay $b \to s l^+ l^-$ in minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA). If tan$\beta$ is large, down-type quark mass matrices and their Yukawa couplings cannot be diagonalized at the same basis. This induces…

The very rare Bd0 --> mu+ mu- decay may be the last chance for New Physics in flavor sector at the LHC, before the 13 TeV run in 2015. Partially motivated by the known tension in sin(2beta/phi_1), enhancement beyond (3-4) x 10^-10 would…
