$B$ 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 show that an angular analysis of B --> V1 V2 decays yields numerous tests for new physics in the decay amplitudes. Unlike direct CP asymmetries, many of these new-physics observables are nonzero even if the strong phase differences…
The recent low-energy electron recoil (ER) results reported by the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment have established the most stringent constraints to date on new physics scenarios, specifically for solar axion-like particles with keV-scale…
We examine the capability of Mu3e to probe light new physics scenarios that produce a prompt electron-positron resonance and demonstrate how angular observables are instrumental in enhancing the experimental sensitivity. We systematically…
The article outlines the recent developments in the theoretical and computational approaches to the higher-order electroweak effects needed for the accurate interpretation of MOLLER and Belle II experimental data, and shows how new-physics…
We study in an effective operator approach how the effects of new physics from various scenarios containing extra $Z'$ gauge bosons or doubly charged scalars can affect, and thus be tested by the precision polarized Moeller scattering…
A recent experimental determination of the weak charge of atomic cesium is used to get implications for possible new physics. The new data imply positive upper and lower bounds on the new physics contribution to the weak charge, delta_N…
Consequences of a new force mediated by a light scalar particle for neutrino oscillation experiments are considered. Such a force could give rise to neutrino masses and mixings whose matter dependence is much more significant than the MSW…
The existence of a 750 GeV di-photon spin-0 resonance $S$ would imply the additional presence of new particles beyond the Standard Model, coupling directly to $S$ and electromagnetically charged. For an $SU(2)_{\mathrm{L}}$ singlet $S$, we…
We present general formulas for the oblique-correction parameters $S$, $T$, $U$, $V$, $W$, and $X$ in a model of New Physics having arbitrary numbers of scalar leptoquarks of the five permissible types. We allow for a general mixing among…
We report results on two physics topics from the SLD experiment at the SLAC Linear Collider, using our full sample of 550,000 events of the type e+e- --> Z0 --> q-q(bar). The electron beam was polarized, enabling the quark and antiquark…
Transverse polarization (TP) can be used to study interference of (S,P) or T type couplings from new physics with the SM contribution. In e+e- -> t tbar, a CP-odd azimuthal asymmetry can constrain the scale Lambda of new (S,P) or T contact…
With the prospect of large numbers of $J/\Psi$ decay events becoming available in the near future, it is interesting to search for symmetry violating effects as probes of new physics and tests of the standard model. $J/\Psi$ decay events…
We develop a general set of methods for computing the oblique electroweak parameters S and T for bottom-up and top-down motivated scenarios in which the Higgs weakly mixes with a superconformal extra sector. In addition to their utility in…
We propose a new type of Z polarization asymmetry in bottom-Z production at LHC that should be realistically measurable and would provide the determination of the so-called $A_b$ parameter, whose available measured value still appears to be…
The b --> s nu anti-nu transitions are sensitive probes of new physics (NP) in the form of non-standard Z penguin effects. They involve four experimentally accessible observables, among which the inclusive rate of B --> Xs nu anti-nu is the…
Background: The recent disagreement between the proton charge radius extracted from Lamb shift measurements of muonic and electronic hydrogen invites speculation that new physics may be to blame. Several proposals have been made for new…
We propose two different and complementary observables for singling out possible signals of physics beyond the standard model in the semi-leptonic decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell{\bar \nu}_{\ell}$, both with the $\tau$ lepton and with…
Precision electroweak data allow one to test the standard model, constrain its parameters, and search for the effects of some kinds of new physics. The results of the most recent data from LEP, SLC, and elsewhere are described, as are their…
The Z-pole data from e+e- colliders and results from the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab can be brought into agreement if (1) the neutrino-Z couplings were suppressed relative to the Standard Model (SM), and (2) the Higgs boson were much…
