The CDF and D0 collaborations have recently reported a large forward-backward asymmetry in the ttbar system which deviates from the next to-leading order QCD standard model prediction. We study the asymmetry in the ttbar system within the…
The partial widths are determined for squark decays to gluinos and quarks, and gluino decays to squarks and quarks, respectively. The widths are calculated including one-loop SUSY-QCD corrections. The corrections amount to $+$30\% to…
A search for supersymmetric partners of top quarks decaying as $\tilde{t}_1\to c\tilde\chi^0_1$ and supersymmetric partners of charm quarks decaying as $\tilde{c}_1\to c\tilde\chi^0_1$, where $\tilde\chi^0_1$ is the lightest neutralino, is…
Measurements of the polarization of the lepton and D* in the exclusive semileptonic B decays, B to D l nu and B to D* l nu, can be used to separate and identify the non-standard model sources of T violation. These T-odd effects, estimated…
We show that the bosonic decays of the lighter top and bottom squarks, i.e. t~_1 -> b~_1 + (H^+ or W^+) and b~_1 -> t~_1 + (H^- or W^-), can be dominant in a wide range of the MSSM parameters. Compared to the fermionic decays, such as t~_1…
Within the Standard Model, the branching fraction of the rare decay $B_s\to K^0\bar K^0$ is related to other decay rates and CP asymmetries through the approximate $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry of the strong interactions and the heavy-quark…
The decays tau -> 3 pi + nu(tau) are analyzed at one loop order in the framework of Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory, in order to test the sensitivity to the size of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking parameters, contained in the…
We propose to use T-odd momentum correlations as physical observables to study T violation in $B\to K^{*}l^{+}l^{-} (l=e,\mu)$ decays. We show that these observables are zero in the standard model but sizable at the level of 10% in the…
Top quark decays are of particular interest as a mean to test the standard model (SM) predictions, both for the dominant ($t\to b+W$) and rare decays ($t\to q+W, cV, cVV,c\phi^0,bWZ$). As the latter are highly suppressed, they become an…
We analyse the sensitivity to physics beyond the SM of T-odd correlations in $K_{\ell 4}$ decays, which do not involve the lepton polarization. We show that a combined analysis of $K^+_{\mu 4}$ and $K^-_{\mu 4}$ decays can lead to new…
We summarize the recent results on the supersymmetric QCD radiative corrections, at the one-loop level, in Higgs and top quark decays, in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and in the decoupling limit of very heavy…
$\cal T$-parity in the Little Higgs model could be violated by anomalies that allow the lightest $\cal T$-odd $A_H$ to decay into $ZZ$ and $W^+W^-$. We analyze these anomaly induced decays and the two-particle and the three-particle decay…
We adopt an effective-lagrangian approach to compute the new-physics contributions to T-violating triple-product correlations in charmless Lambda_b decays. We use factorization and work to leading order in the heavy-quark expansion. We find…

Recent studies about CP violation in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with complex parameters are reviewed. In order to unambiguously identify the CP-violating phenomena it is necessary to study CP-odd or T-odd observables.…
Angular and energy distributions for leptons and bottom quarks in the process e^+e^- --> t t-bar --> l^{+-}/b(b-bar) ... have been calculated assuming the most general top-quark couplings. The double distributions depend both on…
In this article, we have predicted the standard model (SM) values of the asymmetric and angular observables in $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ decays, using the results of the new up-to-date analysis in $B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu_{\ell}$. We have…
