It is argued that a precise measurement of the transverse component of the muon spin in the decay K --> mu nu gamma makes it possible to obtain more stringent limits on CP-violating parameters of the leptoquark, SUSY and left-right…

We study the CP violating asymmetry, the forward-backward asymmetry of the lepton pair and the CP asymmetry in the forward backward asymmetry for the exclusive decay $B --> K^* \tau^+ \tau^- in the general two Higgs doublet model including…

We report an observation of the decay B^\pm -> \phi \phi K^\pm and evidence for B^0 -> \phi \phi K^0. These results are based on a 414 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider…

The evidence of a large CP phase has been shown by CDF and D{\O} collaborations in the time-dependent CP asymmetry (CPA) of $B_s\to J/\Psi \phi$ decay, where the nonvanished CPA clearly implies the existence of a non-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase…

Recent experimental results on angular observables in the rare decay $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ show significant deviations from Standard Model predictions. We investigate the possibility that these deviations are due to new physics. Combining…

We study the radiative $B \to K \eta^{(\prime)} \gamma$ decays, which are important to investigate CP violation, and are also relevant to assess the role of the exclusive modes induced by the $b \to s \gamma$ transition to saturate the…

The CP asymmetries of the decay B_d^0 -> K^0 \bar K^0, which originates from \bar b -> \bar d s \bar s flavour-changing neutral-current processes, and its CP-averaged branching ratio BR(B_d -> K^0 \bar K^0) offer interesting avenues to…

An amplitude analysis of the $B^+\to(\pi^+\pi^-)(K^0_{\mathrm{S}}\pi^+)$ decay is performed in the mass regions $0.30 < m_{\pi^+\pi^-} < 1.10\,\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$ and $0.75 < m_{K^0_{\mathrm{S}}\pi^+} < 1.20\,\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$, using $pp$…

We calculate the transverse muon polarization in the $K^+_{\mu3}$ process arising from the Yukawa couplings of charged Higgs boson in a general two-Higgs doublet model where spontaneous violation of CP is present

The present unitarity triangle fit, whose essential input is represented by the s to d and b to d transition processes, fully agrees with the SM. However, most of the phenomena involving b to s transitions are still largely unexplored and…

We briefly review the status of rare radiative and semileptonic $b \to s (\gamma, \ell^+ \ell^-)$, ($\ell=e,\mu$) decays. We discuss possible signatures of new physics in these modes and emphazise the role of the exclusive channels. In…

With a sample of about 227 million BB pairs recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring we perform a full angular analysis of the decay B0->PhiK*0(892). We measure the branching fraction to be (9.2+-0.9+-0.5)10^-6 and…

We provide a general analysis of time reversal invariance violation in the exclusive semileptonic B decays B to D l nu and B to D* l nu. Measurements of the lepton and D* polarizations can be used to search for and identify non-standard…

We comment on the implications of the recently measured CP asymmetry in B --> Phi K_S decay. The data disfavor the Standard Model at 2.7 sigma and -if the trend persists in the future with higher statistics - require the existence of CP…

Transverse muon polarization in the $K^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu \gamma$ decay is calculated in the model with scalar and pseudo scalar four-Fermi interactions. Combined with a similar calculation in the $K^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu \pi^0$…
