We discuss a simple approach to measure the weak mixing angles phi_s and phi_d of the Bs and Bd systems in the presence of New Physics. We present a new expression that allows one to measure directly the New Physics mixing angles if New…

Rare decays of the kind $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_s\to \phi\mu^+\mu^-$ are key players for testing the Standard Model. The current experimental data for their decay rates and angular observables show tensions with the theoretical…
The two $B$-factories, Belle and BaBar, has been played major roles in the B decays study. Their wonderful design and excellent operation enables their fruitful analysis results. Also recently the Tevatron experiments, CDF and DO, join the…
We investigate numerically how accurately one could constrain the strengths of different short-range contributions to neutrino-less double beta decay in effective field theory. Depending on the outcome of near-future experiments yielding…
One of the most pragmatic ways to look for the effects of New Physics at low energy scales is to study a detailed angular distribution of various decay modes, and in particular those based on $b\to c\ell\bar \nu_\ell$. In this paper we…
We review recent important progresses at the B factories and discuss the future prospects. We also comment on how we might proceed to search for new physics.
We derive compact expressions for the helicity amplitudes of the many-body $B \to D^{(*)}(\to DY)\tau(\to X\nu)\nu$ decays, specifically for $X = \ell \nu$ or $\pi$ and $Y = \pi$ or $\gamma$. We include contributions from all ten possible…
We present a model-independent parametrization of the $B^\pm\to J/\psi K^\pm$, $B_d\to J/\psi K_S$ decay amplitudes by taking into account the constraints that are implied by the isospin symmetry of strong interactions. Employing estimates…
A new experimental technique to study the decays of $B^0_s$ mesons into final states involving unreconstructable particles is proposed. The method uses a characteristic feature of fast flavour oscillations of $B^0_s$ mesons. Analysis of the…
We investigate new physics effects on $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ decays in a general and model-independent way. The $\chi^2$ fits for fractions of the branching ratios $R(D^{(*)})$ and other polarization parameters are implemented. We…

I review the current status of measurements involving semi-tauonic $B$ meson decay at the $B$-factories. I briefly discuss the experimental methods and highlight the importance of background contributions especially from poorly understood…
Weak decays and mixing of B-hadrons play a special role in our understanding of the physics of the Standard Model and beyond. The measured amplitudes, however, result from a complicated interplay of weak and strong interaction effects.…
We perform a combined analysis of $B \to \pi \pi$ and $B \to \pi K$ decays with the current experimental data. Assuming SU(3) flavor symmetry and no new physics contributions to the topological amplitudes, we demonstrate that the…
Recently LHCb has measured the branching ratio of the rare decay of $B_s^0\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- $ as $2.9^{+1.1}_{-1.0} \times10^{-9}$ which is at par with the predicted standard model (SM) value. This result does not predict the absence…
We reemphasize the strong dependence of the branching ratios $B(K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$ and $B(K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu)$ on $|V_{cb}|$ that is stronger than in rare $B$ decays, in particular for $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$. Thereby the persistent…
We conduct a systematic study of the impact of new physics in quark-level $b \to c \bar{c} s$ transitions on $B$-physics, in particular rare $B$-decays and $B$-meson lifetime observables. We find viable scenarios where a sizable effect in…
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…
