We study the decays of $B\to K^{(*)} \ell^{+} \ell^{-}$ in split supersymmetry with R-parity violation. We find that the decay branching ratio of $B\to K\tau^+\tau^-$ in the new physics model due to the scalar interactions can be $1.8\times…
We quantify the ability of B-Factories to observe supersymmetric contributions to the rare decays B -> X_s \gamma and B -> X_s l+ l-. A global fit to the Wilson coefficients which contribute to these decays is performed from Monte Carlo…
Recently, we studied the branching ratios of rare K and B decays in models with Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) using the presently available information from the universal unitarity triangle analysis and from the measurements of Br(B -> Xs…
We analyse the new physics implications of theoretically clean $b \to s$ observables in a model-independent approach and compare their coherence with the implications of other rare $B$-decays. A statistical comparison is done between the…
We present a detailed discussion of the current theoretical and experimental situation of the anomaly in the angular distribution of $B \to K^*(\to K\pi)\mu^+\mu^-$, observed at LHCb in the $1~\text{fb}^{-1}$ dataset and recently confirmed…
The first study is presented of CP violation with an amplitude analysis of the Dalitz plot of $B^0 \to D K^+ \pi^-$ decays, with $D \to K^+ \pi^-$, $K^+ K^-$ and $\pi^+ \pi^-$. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to…
The transitions $B_{s,d}\rightarrow \ell^+\ell^-$ (for $\ell=e, \mu, \tau$), although extremely suppressed within the SM, are exceptionally clean channels particularly sensitive to New Physics contributions. So far only the branching ratio…
We carry out a detailed study of exclusive radiative rare $B$-decays in the framework of the QCD sum rules on the light cone, which combines the traditional QCD sum rule technique with the description of final state vector mesons in terms…
I present a review of using rare B decays to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. B decays that proceed either through annihilation or loop topologies at leading order in the Standard Model provide unique probes in the search for…
We apply the QCD factorization approach to exclusive, radiative B meson decays in the region of small invariant photon mass. We calculate factorizable and non-factorizable corrections to leading order in the heavy quark mass expansion and…
We study the rare decays of $B_{s} \to M_s\ell \bar{\ell}$ ($M_s=\eta, \eta',\phi$ and $\ell=\nu,e,\mu,\tau$) in the standard model. With the hadronic form factors evaluated in the light front and constituent quark models, we estimate the…
In this paper, we calculated the new physics contribution to theoretically very clean rare decay $B\to X_{s} \nu \bar{\nu}$ in the general two-Higgs-doublet model (model III). Within the considered parameter space, we found that (a) the new…
Using the most general model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian, the rare B_s --> \gamma \ell^+ \ell^- decays are studied by taking into account the polarization of the photon. The total and the differential branching ratios for…
Recent measure of $R_K$, involving the decays of $b\to s l^+ l^-$, by the LHCb at CERN strengthened the deviation from the Standard Model prediction. The best fit in the updated global analysis suggests that the muon specific Wilson…
We calculate the next-to-leading corrections to the branching ratio of exclusive $B\to K^* \gamma$ decay. The renormalization scale dependence is reduced compared to the leading logarithmic result but there remains a dependence on a cutoff…
We study the exclusive leptonic and semileptonic $B$ decays $B \to \ell^- \bar\nu$ and $B \to D^{(\ast)} \ell^-\bar\nu$ in the framework of the covariant quark model with built-in infrared confinement. We compute the relevant form factors…
We investigate the $B$ anomalies in the framework of the nonminimal universal extra dimension models. Newly measured polarization parameters in $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$, $P_\tau(D^{(*)})$ and $F_L(D^*)$ as well as the ratios $R(D^{(*)})$ are…
The decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ provide interesting constraints on the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. It is shown that bounds on $\gamma$ can also be obtained from the time evolution of…
Constraining CKM parameters from charmless hadronic B decays requires methods for addressing the hadronic uncertainties. A complete technique is presented, using relations between amplitudes in the B, Bs -> pipi, Kpi, KK system obtained in…
A general parametrization of the amplitudes for the rare two-body decays B -> pi K is introduced, which makes maximal use of theoretical constraints arising from flavour symmetries of the strong interactions and the structure of the…
