We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly altered if there are important new-physics contributions to \bqbqbar mixing. This same new physics…
We investigate the angular decay distribution of the four-fold $B_{c}\to D^{\ast}_{s}(\to D_{s}\gamma)\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, and $B_{c}\to D^{\ast}_{s}(\to D_{s}\pi)\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decays that proceed through $b\to s\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ quark level…
We perform a frequentist analysis of q^2-dependent B-> K*(->Kpi)ll angular observables at large recoil, aiming at bridging the gap between current theoretical analyses and the actual experimental measurements. We focus on the most…
The analysis of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ flavor-changing neutral current decays is a powerful test of the Standard Model (SM). Due to the strong suppression of these modes in the SM, potential New Physics contributions can have a significant…
Time-dependent measurements of the decays B_s^0(t)-->\phi K_s and B_d^0(t) --> K^0 \bar{K}^0 can be used to compare the weak phases of B_d^0-\bar{B}_d^0 mixing and the t-quark contribution to the b->d penguin. Since these two phases are…
Recently, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in the semileptonic B meson decays in terms of both in the neutral current ($b\to s l \bar{l}$) and charged current ($b\to c l \bar{\nu_{l}}$) transitions. Motivated by…
The system of $B^0_s\to D_s^\mp K^\pm$ decays offers a theoretically clean determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the Unitarity Triangle. A corresponding LHCb analysis resulted in a surprisingly large result, which is in tension with other…
Searches for New Physics focus either on the direct production of new particles at colliders or at deviations from known observables at low energies. In order to discover New Physics in precision measurements, both experimental and…
In this talk, I review the status and prospects of several low energy flavor observables that are highly sensitive to New Physics effects. In particular I discuss the implications for possible New Physics in b --> s transitions coming from…
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…
We combine all the available experimental information on Bs mixing, including the very recent tagged analyses of Bs to J/Psi phi by the CDF and D0 collaborations. We find that the phase of the Bs mixing amplitude deviates more than 3 sigma…
We describe here a method for detecting physics beyond the standard model via CP violation in B->rho,pi decays. Using a Dalitz-plot analysis to obtain alpha, along with an analytical extraction of the various tree (T) and penguin (P)…
Measurements of angular correlations between initial and final particles in $\beta$ decay remain one of the most promising ways of probing the Standard Model and looking for new physics. As experiments reach unprecedented precision well…
The $B^0_s\to D_s^\mp K^\pm$ system offers a determination of the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$. Intrigued by an LHCb analysis showing a surprisingly large result in tension with information on the Unitarity Triangle and other $\gamma$…
The rare decays {$B^- \to \tau \bar\nu$}, \mbox{$B \to \tau^+ \tau^-$}, {$b \to X \nu \bar\nu$} and \mbox{$b \to X \tau^+ \tau^-$} all contain third generation leptons in the final state, and hence are sensitive to new physics that couples…
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…
A new way of probing new physics in the $B$ meson system is provided. We define double ratios for the observables of $B_{d,s}$-$\Bbar_{d,s}$ mixings and $B_{d,s}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays, and find simple relations between the observables. By…
The various mechanisms for neutrinoless double beta decay in gauge theories are reviewed and the present experimental data is used to set limits on physics scenarios beyond the standard model. The positive indications for nonzero neutrino…
We consider the Higgs boson decay processes and its production and provide a parameterisation tailored for testing models of new physics. The choice of a particular parameterisation depends on a non-obvious balance of quantity and quality…
When both B0 and B0bar can decay to the same final state composed of two vectors, the interference between them and those among three polarization states result in intricate phenomena. In this note we derive the time and angular…
