We present measurements of the flavor-changing neutral current decays B --> Kl+l- and B --> K*l+l-, where l+l- is either an e+e- or mu+mu- pair. The data sample comprises 229 x 10^6 Y(4s) -->to BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector…
A search is performed for the lepton number violating decay $B^{+}\to h^- \mu^+ \mu^+$, where $h^-$ represents a $K^-$ or a $\pi^-$, using data from the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36pb^{-1}$. The decay is…
Kaon physics provides a unique opportunity to identify new flavour and CP violating interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, implied by the hierarchical structure of the CKM matrix and the GIM mechanism, flavour changing…
We present a calculation of the rare decay modes D^0 -> e^+ e^- gamma and D^0 -> mu^+ mu^- gamma in the framework of Standard Model. For the short distance part, we have derived QCD corrections to the Wilson coefficients involved, including…
The general analysis of the rare Bc->D^*_s l^+ l^- decay is presented by using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian. The dependencies of the branching ratios, longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization…

The supersymmetric decays of the top quark into charged Higgs plus bottom, $\thb$, and into the supersymmetric partner of the top (${\wti u}_1$) plus the lightest neutralino (${\wti \chi}_1^0$), $\tstopneu$, are discussed within the…
I present some of the most recent BaBar measurements for rare B decays. These include rate asymmetries in the B decays to K(*) l+ l- and K+ pi- and branching fractions in the B decays to l+ nu_l, K_1(1270)+ pi- and K_1(1400)+ pi-. I also…
We study the forward-backward and the CP-violating asymmetries (both time-independent and time-dependent) in rare semileptonic $B_d\to\rho^0 l^+l^-$, $B_s\to\phi l^+l^-$, and radiative leptonic $B_{d,s}\to \gamma l^+l^-$ decays and…
Searches for $B$ mesons decaying to final states containing a baryon and a lepton are performed, where the baryon is either $\Lambda_c$ or $\Lambda$ and the lepton is a muon or an electron. These decays violate both baryon and lepton number…
Among the various "rare" semi-leptonic decays of $B$-mesons the $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ mode is of special interest. This is because it has the highest branching ratio among all the semi-leptonic B decays within the SM. This channel also…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the conservation of R-parity is phenomenologically desirable, but is ad hoc in the sense that it is not required for the internal consistency of the theory. However, if B-L is gauged at very…
We report on a search for the charmless decays $B^{+} \to\phi\pi^{+}$ and $B^{0} \to\phi \pi^{0}$ that are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model. The analysis is based on a data sample of $657 \times 10^6$ $B \bar{B}$ pairs collected at…
We study the rare decays $D^+\to \pi^{+}\ell^+\ell^-$, $D^+_s\to K^{+}\ell^+\ell^-$ and $D^0\to \ell^+\ell^-(\ell=e,\mu)$ in the minimal supersymmetic standard model with and without R-parity. Using the strong constraints on relevant…
Including the recent preliminary results of BaBar and BELLE experiments, we update the currently allowed intervals for various CKM parameters: $\bar\rho$, $\bar\eta$, $\sin2\beta$, $\sin2\alpha$, $\sin^2\gamma$. We also update the SM…
T--odd correlations as physical observables in the $B \rar K^\ast \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay have been studied using the most general form of the effective Hamiltonian. It is observed that these quantities are very sensitive to the new physics.…
