Rare B hadron decays provide an excellent test bench for the Standard Model and can probe new physics models. We review the experimental progress of the searches for rare leptonic B decays ($b\rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $b\rightarrow s…
Rare decays of b hadrons provide a powerful way of identifying contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model, in particular from new hypothetical particles too heavy to be produced at colliders. The most relevant experimental…
We study exclusive $B_s$ decays to final states with $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$, induced by the rare $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $b \to s \nu \bar \nu$ transitions. Differential decay rates and total branching fractions are predicted in the…
I present a review of using rare B decays to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. B decays that proceed either through annihilation or loop topologies at leading order in the Standard Model provide unique probes in the search for…
One of the most interesting puzzles in particle physics today is that new physics is expected at the TeV energy scale to solve the hierarchy problem, and stabilise the Higgs mass, but so far no unambiguous signal of new physics has been…
Rare decays of b-hadrons provide high sensitivity to New Physics effects. Several deviations with respect to the Standard Model predictions have been observed in recent years, leading to significant tensions in global fit analyses. It is…
After a brief review of the inclusive and exclusive rare semileptonic decays of B mesons in the standard model (SM), an overview of recent theoretical developments in this field is given. New physics effects on various observables such as…
Rare and very rare decays of third-generation particles, including $b$-hadrons and $\tau$ leptons, provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Unlike direct searches limited by collider energies, they probe new…
Rare B decays permit stringent tests of the Standard Model and allow searches for new physics. Several rare radiative-decay studies of the B meson from the BaBar collaboration are described. So far no sign for new physics was discovered.
The unexpected absence of unambiguous signals of New Physics at the TeV scale at the Large Hadron Collider puts today flavour physics at the forefront. In particular rare decays of b-hadrons represent a unique probe to challenge the…
Various new physics models predict a light CP-odd Higgs boson (labeled as $a$) and open up new decay modes for Z-boson, such as $Z \to \bar{f} f a$, $Z\to a\gamma$ and $Z\to aaa$, which could be explored at the GigaZ option of the ILC. In…
The rare decays $B\to K^{(*)}\ell^+\ell^-$, $B\to K^{(*)}\nu\bar\nu$ and $B_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ are analyzed in a generic scenario where New Physics effects enter predominantly via $Z$ penguin contributions. We show that this possibility is…
Rare B decays of the type $b \to s~\ell^+\ell^-(\nu\bar\nu)$ are analyzed in a generic scenario where New Physics effects enter predominantly via $Z$ penguin contributions. We show that this possibility is both phenomenologically allowed…
The measurements of rare leptonic and semi-leptonic B decays performed at the LHC, not showing any significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations, put strong constraints on new physics. A brief account of the impact of recent…
We investigate rare special dileptonic decays of $ \Lambda_b$, $\Sigma_b$ and $\Xi_b $ baryons in the Standard Model and context of the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with Type III. Specifically, we consider the decays $ \Lambda_b…
We demonstrate that rare decays of the Standard Model $Z$ boson can be used to discover and characterize the nature of new hidden-sector particles. We propose new searches for these particles in soft, high-multiplicity leptonic final states…
The rare decays $B_{(s,d)}^*\to l^+ l^-$ are important to probe the flavour sector of the standard model and to search new physics beyond the SM. Unlike pseudoscalar B meson, the leptonic decays of vector $ B_(s,d)^*$ mesons are not…
We study the rare decays of $B_{s} \to M_s\ell \bar{\ell}$ ($M_s=\eta, \eta',\phi$ and $\ell=\nu,e,\mu,\tau$) in the standard model. With the hadronic form factors evaluated in the light front and constituent quark models, we estimate the…
We analyze the effect of the non-universal $Z$ boson in the rare decays $B_s \to l^+ l^- $, $B_s \to l^+ l^- \gamma $ and $Z \to b \bar s$ decays. These decays involve the FCNC mediated $ b \to s $ transitions, and are found to be very…
We present an overview of rare K, D and B decays. Particular attention is devoted to those flavour-changing neutral-current processes of K and B mesons that offer the possibility of new significant tests of the Standard Model. The…
