We suppose that there is new physics (NP) in b -> s transitions, and examine its effect on the angular distribution of B_q^0 -> V_1 V_2 (q=d,s), where V_{1,2} are vector mesons. We find that, in the presence of such NP, the formulae…

Transverse asymmetries in the decay B->K*(K pi)l+l- are an extremely sensitive probe of right-handed flavour-changing neutral currents. We show how to include the contribution from the chiral partner of the electromagnetic operator on the…
We critically re-examine the case for and against a sizeable right-handed component in the $b\to c$ charged current coupling with a strength $\xi$ relative to the conventional left-handed current. Using data from CLEO on the decay $B\to…
We reexamine the right-handed current effects in $b \to s$ transitions in nonmanifest left-right models. Using the effective Hamiltonian approach including all possible low-energy operators, we obtain especially the B \to K \pi decay…
We study possible New Physics (NP) effects in the exclusive decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(\ast)} \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$. We extend the Standard Model (SM) by taking into account right-handed vector (axial), left- and right-handed…
We study the impact of new physics contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay arising from right-handed current in comparison with the standard mechanism. If the light neutrinos obtain their masses from Type-II seesaw within left-right…
In the Standard Model, the photon emitted in b->s\gamma decays is predicted to be left-handed polarized. We discuss the types of New Physics which can produce a deviation from this prediction, focusing on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard…
CP-violating effects in the time-dependent angular distribution of the B^0_s -> J/psi[-> ell^+ ell^-] phi[-> K^+K^-] decay products play a key role for the search of new physics. The hadronic Standard-Model uncertainties are related to…
The effects of possible right-handed weak hadronic currents in rare exclusive semileptonic decays B -> (K, K*) nu bar{nu} are investigated using a lattice-constrained dispersion quark model for the calculation of the relevant mesonic form…
We study extensions of the Standard Model where the charged current weak interactions are governed by the CKM matrix and where all tree-level decays are dominated by their Standard Model contribution. We constrain both analytically and…
Motivated by the possible discrepancy between the observed CP asymmetry and that of standard model expectation in the decay mode B^0 -> phi K_S, we study the corresponding vector vector decay mode B^0 -> phi K^*. In order to obtain decisive…
A supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, with maximal s_R-b_R mixing and a new source of CP violation, contains all the necessary ingredients to account for a possible anomaly in the measured CP asymmetry in B->phi K_s decay. In…
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…
Recent measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the B -> phi K_S decay give results whose central values differ from standard model expectations. It is shown how such data can be used to identify new physics contributions in a…
Extensions of the Standard Model may have significant effects on B physics observables. Two examples of methods that may find such effects are reviewed: Resolving discrete ambiguities in CP asymmetries and detecting right handed currents in…
