Rescattering effects can modify the dependence on the weak phase $\gamma = -{\rm Arg}(V^*_{ub}V_{ud}/V^*_{cb} V_{cd})$ of the ratio of rates for $B^{\pm} \to K \pi^\pm$ and $B \to K^\pm \pi^\mp$. A test for these effects based on the…
We study the one-loop contribution of the down-type quark of the standard model-like fourth generation (b') on the top quark electric dipole moment. Using the known limits on the top quark electric dipole moments, we place limits on the b'…
The weak decays of B_{c} --> D_{s}^{*}l^{+}l^{-} (l=mu,tau) are investigated in the Standard Model with fourth generation (SM4). Taking fourth generation quark mass m_{t'} of about 300 to 600 GeV with the CKM matrix elements…
Weak radiative decay B -> X_s gamma is known to be a loop-generated process. However, it does receive tree-level contributions from CKM-suppressed b -> u ubar s gamma transitions. In the present paper, we evaluate such contributions…
We obtain constraints on the mixing of vector-like quarks coupling predominantly to the third generation. We consider all (seven) relevant types of vector-like quarks, individually. The constraints are derived from oblique corrections and Z…
The radiative decay $\BSgamma$ and the mixing $\BsBs$ are discussed in the vector-like quark model which contains extra SU(2)-singlet quarks with the same electric charges as the up-type and down-type quarks. Constraints on the extended…
We study those dimension 6 effective operators which generate flavor-changing quark-gluon transitions of the third generation quarks, with t -> g + u(c) and b -> g + d(s), and which could be of interest for LHC experiments. We analyze the…
Results are presented from a search for a fourth generation of quarks produced singly or in pairs in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 inverse femtobarns recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011. A novel…
We study the decays of heavy chiral (t', b') quarks in a four-generation extension of the Standard Model. If the difference between the t' and b' masses is smaller than the W mass, as favored by precision electroweak measurements, then the…
We determine the masses of the sequential fourth generation quarks $b'$ and $t'$ in the extension of the Standard Model by solving the dispersion relations associated with the mixing between the neutral states $Q\bar q$ and $\bar Qq$, $Q$…
Exclusive weak radiative B meson decays are studied using the covariant oscillator quark model. The branching ratios for the processes B0 to K*0 gamma and B to K* gamma have been estimated. These are in reasonable agreement with the…
We study various FCNC involving heavy quarks in the Standard Model (SM) with a sequential fourth generation. After imposing $B\to X_s\gamma$, $B\to X_sl^+l^-$ and $Z\to b\bar{b}$ constraints, we find ${\cal B}(Z\to s\bar{b}+\bar{s}b)$ can…
Motivated by the latest improved measurements of B-meson decays, we make a comprehensive analysis of the impact of a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ boson on $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ mixing and two-body hadronic B-meson decays, all being…
We study the potential effect of anomalous couplings of the third generation quarks to gauge bosons in rare B decays. We focus on the constraints from flavor changing neutral current processes such as $b\to s\gamma$ and $b\to s…
We discuss two models with 1 extra CP phase in $b\leftrightarrow s$ transition. The CP phase $\arg (V_{t^\prime s}V_{t^\prime b})$ with fourth generations, previously ignored, could impact on $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$, $\Delta m_{B_s}$ and…
We examine the possibility for precise determination of |V_{ts}| (and |V_{td}/V_{ts}|) from the exclusive decays, $B --> K \ell^+ \ell^-, B --> K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ (and $B --> \pi \ell^+ \ell^-, B --> \rho \ell^+ \ell^-$). We show that the…
We study the rare decays of B meson. We want to constraint the NSIs by using these reactions. We show that there is a strong dependence of these reactions on new physics parameter. We include second and third generation of quarks in the…
In the framework of SU(2) singlet down type vectorlike quark model, we present a comprehensive analysis for decays B-> X_s \gamma, B->X_sl^+l^- and B-> K\pi. As for B-> X_s\gamma, we include the QCD running from the mass of the down-type…
The recent Tevatron result on the top quark forward-backward asymmetry, which deviates from its standard model prediction by 3.4$\sigma$, has prompted many authors to build new models to account for this anomaly. Among the various…
We study the effect of scalar leptoquarks on some rare decays of $B_s$ mesons involving the quark level transition $b\rightarrow s$ $l^{+} l^{-}.$ In particular we consider the decays $B_{s} \rightarrow \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$, $\bar B_d^0 \to X_s…
