At the present time, there are a number of measurements of $B$-decay observables that disagree with the predictions of the standard model. These discrepancies have been seen in processes governed by two types of decay: (i) $b \to s \mu^+…
The doubly weak transition $b\to dd{\bar s}$ is highly suppressed in the standard model, which makes it a potential channel to explore new physics signals. We present a study of the exclusive two body wrong sign weak decay $\smash{\overline…
The doubly weak $b\to dd{\bar s}$ and $b\to ss{\bar d}$ processes are highly suppressed in the standard model that offer the unique opportunity to explore new physics signals. The wrong sign decay $\smash{\overline B}^0\to K^+\pi^-$…
Rare decays of the $B$ meson are sensitive to new physics effects. Several experimental results on these decays have been difficult to understand within the standard model (SM) though more precise measurements and a better understanding of…
Decays of B mesons offer interesting probes to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Thanks to the data taking at the LHC, we are at the beginning of a new era of precision B physics. I will discuss recent developments concerning…
We report measurements of B meson decays to two kaons using 250/fb of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider. We find evidence of signals in B+ -> K0(bar) K+ and B0 -> K0 K0(bar) with…
For any new physics possibly emerging in the future B experiments, the problem is how to extract the signals from the SM background. We consider the decay $b\to s s\bar d$ which is very small in the SM. In the MSSM this decay is possibly…
Three new results are discussed: (a) A non-vanishing amplitude for the `wrong sign{'} kaon decay $B \to J/\Psi \bar{K}$ or its CP conjugate is shown to be a necessary condition for obtaining different CP asymmetries in $B \to J/\Psi…
Various nonleptonic decay channels mediated by the quark-level subprocess $b\to s\bar{s} s$ show hints of deviation from the Standard Model expectations. We analyse the double-vector decay $B\to\phi K^\ast$ with different generic new…
We explore the possibility of using CP violation in B decays to detect the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We first study the possibility of new physics in the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. We discuss a construction to extract…
In this talk, we point out some of the present and future possible signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model from B-meson decays, taking R-parity conserving and violating supersymmetry as illustrative examples.
If the weak phase of B_s-anti B_s mixing (2 beta_s) is found to be significantly different from zero, this is a clear signal of new physics (NP). However, if such a signal is found, we would like an unambiguous determination of 2 beta_s in…
We show that new physics, either from CPT violation in B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing or from \Delta B = -\Delta Q transitions, may lead to an opposite-sign dilepton asymmetry of neutral B-meson decays. Both effects have the same time-dependent…
Kaon physics provides a unique opportunity to identify new flavour and CP violating interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, implied by the hierarchical structure of the CKM matrix and the GIM mechanism, flavour changing…
The B-meson system offers interesting probes for the search of physics beyond the Standard Model. After addressing possible signals of new-physics contributions to the B -> phi K and B -> pi K decay amplitudes, we focus on the data for…
The status of possible new-physics signals in B_s,d-meson mixing and decay is reviewed. In particular, it is emphasized that the recent LHCb results, that find no evidence for a non-standard phase in B_s-barB_s mixing, make a consistent…
The $\Delta S = 2$ transition $b \to s s \bar d$ is extremely small in the standard model, proceeding only via box diagrams. Such decays are thus an appropriate ground for searching new physics. We present a study of several two-body and…
I review the signals for New Physics in CP-violating measurements in B and Lambda_b decays. I also discuss ways of identifying this New Physics, should such a signal be found.
This talk discusses possible new physics interpretations of recent experimental results on the B-->K*mu+mu- decay that show a discrepancy with the Standard Model predictions. A model independent analysis that takes into account all the…
In this proceeding we will review the current theoretical status of rare $B$ decays. These decays are indeed excellent indirect probes for New Physics searches, and in the current situation where no new states have been directly observed at…
