The apparent excess of $Z \rightarrow b \bar b$ events at LEP may be an indication of new physics beyond the standard model. However, in either the two-Higgs-doublet model or the minimal supersymmetric standard model, any explanation would…
Semileptonic exclusive tau decays in the Standard Model are reviewed. As it is well-known, they are a privileged arena to learn about low-energy hadronization. They also allow for a number of clean new physics tests, which have attracted…
The anomalous results of recent measurements on various $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ processes could be initial evidence of physics beyond the standard model (SM). Assuming this to be the case, we entertain the possibility that the underlying new…
We review the status of rare decays and CP violation in extensions of the Standard Model. We analyze the determination of the unitarity triangle and the model-independent constraints on new physics that can be derived from this analysis. We…
This review summarizes the current experimental results on rare B0_(s) -> mu+mu- decays of the Tevatron experiments CDF and D0, and the LHC experiments ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. The experimental branching fraction upper limits for the B0_s ->…
We discuss some rare Z decay signatures associated with extensions of the Standard Model with spontaneous lepton number violation at the electroweak scale. We show that single-photon Z decays such as $Z \to \gamma H$ and $Z \to \gamma J J$…
In this white paper for the Snowmass process, we review the status and prospects of the field of rare decays of b and c hadrons. The role that rare decays play in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model is emphasised. We stress the…
The possibility to observe lepton flavour violating Z decays in the GigaZ option of DESY's TESLA project consistently with present bounds from other processes is analyzed in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In…
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…
The study of rare B-decays at SuperB provides unique opportunities to understand the Standard Model and constrain new physics. It is discussed the new physics potential of the B -> K nu nu_bar and B -> K^{\ast} nu nu_bar system from the…
Exclusive rare Higgs decays into lepton pair plus one light hadron, such as $h\to \rho^0(\omega)\ell\bar{\ell}$, $h\to \pi^0\ell\bar{\ell}$, $h\to \pi^+ (K^+)\ell^-\bar{\nu}_\ell$, and $h\to \rho^+(K^{*+})\ell^-\bar{\nu}_\ell$, have been…
The rare Bc->Ds l^+ l^- decay is investigated by using the most general model independent effective Hamiltonian. The general expressions of longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization asymmetries for l^- and l^+ and the combined…
B decays in and beyond the standard model are reviewed. I specifically discuss right-handed B decays, rare B decays, B_c decays, B_s-B_s(bar) mixing, and T violation. (Plenary talk given at the `Workshop on B Physics at Hadron…
The measurements of rare decays are highly sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. In this article limits on the branching ratios of the decays B0s -> mu+mu-, D0 -> mu+mu- and D+ -> pi+mu+mu- are presented. Furthermore the first…
The present data on a number of observables in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ processes manifest some tensions with the standard model (SM). Assuming that these anomalies have a new physics origin, we consider the possibility that a $Z'$ boson is…

We present a systematic analysis for the rare baryonic exclusive decays of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda l^+ l^- (l=e,\mu,\tau)$. We study the differential decay rates and the di-lepton forward-backward, lepton polarization and various CP…
Branching fractions of B^0s decays into specific CP eigenstates are presented, and these and other results are combined in world averages to evaluate implications on the width difference between mass or CP eigenstates, \Delta\Gamma_s. New…
I discuss the theoretical and empirical status of $b \to s \gamma$, $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays, as well as their future prospects. I emphasize those observables in rare $b$-decays which can potentially establish new physics and…
Measuring the lepton anomalous magnetic moments $(g-2)$ and the rare decays of light pseudoscalar mesons into lepton pairs $P\to l^{+}l^{-} $, serve as important tests of the Standard Model. To reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the…
