We have entered the era of BaBar, Belle and Tevatron competition; with new hardware and unprecedented statistics reach, we must be prepared for discovering new phenomena. While these unfoldings could be coming from new physics, it could…
We study CP asymmetries in rare B decays within supersymmetry with a U(2)^3 flavour symmetry, motivated by the SUSY flavour and CP problems, the hierarchies in the Yukawa couplings and the absence so far of any direct evidence for SUSY.…
For any new physics possibly emerging in the future B experiments, the problem is how to extract the signals from the SM background. We consider the decay $b\to s s\bar d$ which is very small in the SM. In the MSSM this decay is possibly…
The search for supersymmetry (SUSY) and other classes of new physics will be tackled on two fronts, with high energy, direct detection machines, and in high precision experiments searching for indirect signatures. While each of these…
We consider three possible scenarios of new physics in B^0_d-\bar{B}^0_d mixing and propose a simple framework for analyzing their effects. This framework allows us to study the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B_d decays ({\cal A}_{SL}) and…
I discuss three B physics results with potential for exhibiting new flavour-changing interactions: (1) the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B\to J/\psi K_S decay; (2) branching fractions and CP asymmetries in B\to \pi\pi, \pi K decays; (3)…
Motivated by the possibility of ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$, we study the implications for $B_s$ meson system. In a specific model that realizes ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$ with large $s$-$b$ mixing, right-handed dynamics and a new CP phase, we…
I introduce a new low energy effective description of Cosmological SUSY breaking. It requires the existence of a strongly interacting gauge theory at a scale of order $10^3$ GeV, some of whose fields carry standard model quantum numbers.…
Following the anomalous like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry measured by the D0 collaboration at the Tevatron collider we discuss the implications of large CP violation in $B_{d,s}$ mixing for Supersymmetric (SUSY) Standard Models, focussing…
We estimate, in a large class of scenarios, the sensitivity to new physics in B_d and B_s mixings achievable with 50 ab-1 of Belle II and 50 fb-1 of LHCb data. We find that current limits on new physics contributions in both B_{d,s} systems…
Recently it has been demonstrated that large phases in softly broken supersymmetric theories are consistent with electric dipole moment constraints, and are motivated in some (Type I) string models. Here we consider whether large…
Complex flavour couplings (off-diagonal mass terms) in the squark sector of supersymmetric theories may drastically alter both the rate and the CP-violating asymmetry of certain B-meson decays. We consider the effects of couplings that…
We perform an extensive study of FCNC and CP Violation within Supersymmetric (SUSY) theories with particular emphasis put on processes governed by b->s transitions and of their correlations with processes governed by b->d transitions, s->d…
The CP violation of the neutral $B$ meson is the important phenomenon to search for the new physics. The like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry observed by the D$\O$ Collaboration indicates the CP-violating new physics in the $B_s-\bar B_s$…
In recent years, the CKM picture of flavor and CP violation has been confirmed, mainly due to B decay data. Yet, it is likely that there are small corrections to this picture. We expect to find new physics not much above the weak scale.…
We investigate flavor physics at present and future B factories in order to distinguish supersymmetric models. We evaluate CP asymmetries in various B decay modes, Delta M(Bd), Delta M(Bs), and epsilon_K in three supersymmetric models, i.e.…
Employing the SU(2) isospin symmetry of strong interactions and estimates borrowed from effective field theory, we explore the impact of new physics on the decays $B^\pm\to \phi K^\pm$ and $B_d\to \phi K_S$ in a model-independent manner. To…
We investigate quark flavor signals in three different supersymmetric models, the minimal supergravity, the SU(5) SUSY GUT with right handed neutrinos, and the minimal supersymmetric standard model with U(2) flavor symmetry, in order to…
I present a low energy Lagrangian implementing the idea of Cosmological SUSY breaking (CSB). The model predicts ${\rm tan}\beta \sim 1$, and incorporates a new mechanism for breaking of $SU(2)\times U(1)$. The Higgs mass is determined by…
We consider phenomenological implications of susy models with spontaneously broken CP-symmetry. In particular, we analyze CP-asymmetries in B decays and find that the predictions of these models are vastly different from those of the SM.…
