Motivated by the observed forward-backward asymmetry in $B\to K^{\ast} l^+ l^-$ decay, we perform a detailed analysis of this decay mode within a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ model. With the related coupling $Z^{\prime}-\bar{s}b$…

The rare decays B_s -> \mu^+\mu^- and B -> K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^- are sensitive to new particles and couplings via their interferences with the standard model contributions. Recently, the upper bound on B(B_s -> \mu^+\mu^-) has been improved…

We consider baryon-number-violating nucleon and dinucleon decays to leptonic final states in the context of a left-right symmetric (LRS) model with large extra dimensions. Specifically, we study (a) nucleon to trilepton decays with $\Delta…

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…

Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…

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…

I present highlights of recent CLEO results on the hadronic decay modes of the B meson. Topics covered include two body rare B decays modes, a new measurement of $(B^0 \to D^0 K^+) / (B^0 \to D^0 \pi^+)$, an in depth study of the decay $B^0…

The very clean theoretical predictions for the rare decays K --> pi nu nu_bar and KL --> pi0 l+ l- are reviewed, and their various theoretical inputs summarized. The less favorable situation for KL --> mu+ mu- is also commented.

The long-distance and non-local parts of the form factors describing the single-photon mediated $K_{S,L}\to\pi^0\gamma^*\to\pi^0\ell^+\ell^-$ ($\ell = e, \mu$) transitions in the standard model are addressed in QCD in the limit where the…

We analyze the New Physics sensitivity of a recently proposed method to measure the CP-violating ${\cal B}(K_S\to\mu^+\mu^-)_{\ell=0}$ decay rate using $K_S - K_L$ interference. We present our findings both in a model-independent EFT…

Proton decay, although unobserved so far, is a natural expectation when attempting to explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe. $p\to K^+\bar{\nu}$ or $p\to K^+\tilde{\chi}_1^0$, with $\tilde{\chi}_1^0$ a light exotic neutral particle,…
