In this decade one expects a very significant progress in measuring the branching ratios for several rare $K$ and $B$ decays, in particular for the decays $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$, $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$, $B_s\to\mu^+\mu^+$ and…
While significant effort has been devoted to precision calculations of the production of two Higgs bosons via gluon fusion, the treatment of their decays in this process has only recently begun to attract attention. It has been found that…
We calculate the leading logarithmic QCD corrections to the decay B_s --> \gamma \gamma in the two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) including O_7 type long distance effects and estimate the restrictions of the 2HDM parameters, tan\beta and m_H,…
In supersymmetric theories, the main decay modes of scalar quarks are decays into quarks plus charginos or neutralinos, if the gluinos are heavy enough. We calculate the O($\alpha_s$) QCD corrections to these decay modes in the minimal…
We report the results of the first computation related to the study of the spectator effects in the rare decay mode $B\to K \gamma \gamma $ within the framework of Standard Model. It is found that the account of these effects results in the…
The exclusive radiative $B \to K^* \gamma$, $B \to K^*_2 \gamma$, $B_s \to \phi \gamma$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ decays are studied in a new physics scenario with two universal extra dimensions compactified on a chiral square. The…
Rare radiative decays based on b->s+gamma transitions are among the most prominent examples of flavor-changing neutral current processes. They benefit from good theoretical control and experimental accessibility, large sensitivity to…
Rare decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda l^{+} l^{-}$ (l= e, $\mu$) are examined. We use QCD sum rules to calculate the hadronic matrix elements governing the decays. The $\Lambda$ polarization in the decays is…
Rare $B$, $D$ and $K$ decays provide interesting probes of the Standard Model (SM), with a potential sensitivity to New Physics (NP) higher than other, more common, decays. Their experimental measurement is challenging, and their…
We consider $b \to s \gamma$ decays in the Left-Right Symmetric Model. Values of observables sensitive to chiral structure such as the $\Lambda$ polarization in the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ decays and the mixing-induced CP asymmetries…
Two variants of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model -- the model with 4-dimensional cutoff and the model with dimensionally-analytical regularization -- are systematically compared. It is shown that they are, in essence, two different models of…
We compare the theoretical frameworks and the phenomenological applications of the factorization approaches to exclusive $B$ meson decays, which include QCD-improved factorization, perturbative QCD, and soft-collinear effective theory.…
We reexamine contributions of higher $K$-resonances to the radiative rare decays $b\rar s\gamma$ in the limit where both $b$- and $s$-quark are considered heavy. Using the non-relativistic quark model, and the form factor definitions…
Using a four dimensional approach, we show that the singularities for small gluon momenta, which arise in the usual three dimensional treatment of the annihilation decay, disappear if all poles in the relative energy are taken into account…
We find some errors in previous calculation of leading log QCD corrections to $b \to s\gamma $ decay, which include corrections from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$ in addition to corrections from $M_{W}$ to $m_b$. The inclusive decay rate is found to…
We discuss issues in rare and radiative kaon decays. The interest is to extract useful short-distance information and uncover underlying dynamics. We emphasize channels where either we can understand non-perturbative aspects of QCD or there…
The Abelian decomposition of QCD reveals two types of gluons: color-neutral ``neurons" and color-carrying ``chromons". This classification does not alter the overall properties of QCD, but the investigation of different types of gluon…
I review the NLO QCD calculations of the branching ratio for B--> X_s gamma in the SM. Including the leading electromagnetic corrections, one obtaines BR(B-> X_s gamma)=(3.32 +- 0.30)*10^{-4}. Confronting theory with the newest data, an…
In this talk, a wide range of recently published results on rare B decays from BABAR and Belle are covered. The decays of B->XsGamma, B->K(*)l+l-, and lepton-number violation in B decays are measured for new physics searches.
We discuss the dependence of running couplings on the choice of regularization method in a general softly-broken N=1 supersymmetric theory. Regularization by dimensional reduction respects supersymmetry, but standard dimensional…
