Indirect signs of new physics beyond the Standard Model may be appearing in $B \to K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^-$ decays. If confirmed, the title question will be of paramount importance in determining the strategy for future colliders. We answer it by…
$B$ physics plays important roles in searching for the new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). Recently, some deviations between experimental data and SM predictions were reported, namely $R(D^{(*)})$, $P_5^\prime$ and…
We discuss possible New Physics (NP) effects on the processes $\gamma\gamma \to W^+W^-$, $ZZ$, $Z\gamma$, $\gamma\gamma$, $HH$ which are observable in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions. Such collisions may be achieved through laser backscattering…
I summarize results and performance of the dynamical theory of charmless hadronic B decays, based on QCD factorization in the heavy quark limit. On the theoretical side, a number of NNLO (alpha_s^2) amplitudes are now available, all showing…

T-odd correlations of polarizations and momenta provide a promising testing ground for new physics beyond the standard model. We estimate the contribution of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model to two such…
We perform model-independent statistical analyses of three scenarios accommodating New Physics (NP) in Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral current amplitudes. In a scenario in which NP in B_d-B_d-bar and B_s-B_s-bar is uncorrelated, we find…
The rare decay B --> K* mu+ mu- is considered to be a golden channel for LHCb, as the polarization of the K* allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in many observables that offer new important tests of the Standard Model and its…

Beam polarization asymmetries for the p(gamma,K+)Lambda and p(gamma,K+)sigma0 reactions are measured for the first time for Egamma=1.5-2.4 GeV and 0.6<cos(theta_cm(K+))<1.0 by using linearly polarized photons at the Laser-Electron-Photon…
We utilize a sample of 34.6 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$ collider, to search for the $B^+ \to \phi K^+$, $B^+ \to \phi K^{*+}$, $B^0 \to \phi K^0_S$, and $B^0 \to \phi K^{*0}$…
New physics effects in $B$ decays are routinely modeled through operators invariant under the strong and electromagnetic gauge symmetries. Assuming the scale for new physics is well above the electro-weak scale, we further require…
We analyse three different New Physics scenarios for Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral currents in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrise generic New Physics contributions to B_q-Bbar_q mixing…
We show that an angular analysis of B -> V1 V2 decays yields numerous tests for new physics in the decay amplitudes. Many of these new-physics observables are nonzero even if the strong phase differences vanish. For certain observables,…
We report the first observation of the radiative decay B^0->\phi K^0\gamma using a data sample of 772x10^6 BBar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We observe a signal…
The new measurements of $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ decays by CDF and CLEO indicate that the production ratio $R$ and the fraction of longitudinal polarization $\Gamma_L/\Gamma$ are smaller than the previous results. In conjunction with the new…
The photon polarization in $D_{(s)} \to K_1 (\to K\pi\pi) \gamma$ decays can be extracted from an up-down asymmetry in the $K \pi \pi$ system, along the lines of the method known to $B \to K_1 (\to K\pi\pi) \gamma$ decays. Charm physics is…
We analyse the B -> pi pi, pi K modes in the light of the most recent B-factory data, and obtain the following new results: (i) the B0 -> pi+ pi-, pi- K+ modes prefer gamma=(74+-6)deg, which - together with |V_ub/V_cb| - allows us to…
We investigate the interference pattern of the charm-resonances $\Psi(3370,4040,4160,4415)$ with the electroweak penguin operator $O_9$ in the branching fraction of $B^+\to K^+\mu\mu$. For this purpose we extract the charm vacuum…
