We investigate the impact on low energy flavour mixing phenomena of the renormalisation group running of parameters in supersymmetric theories. We have explicitly chosen flavour dependent supergravity couplings. The renormalisation group…
A variety of lepton flavour violating effects related to the recent discovery of neutrino oscillations and mixings is here systematically discussed in terms of an S_3-flavour permutational symmetry. After a brief review of some relevant…
The ATLAS experiment sensitivity to top quark Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) decays was studied at LHC using ttbar events. While one of the top quarks is expected to follow the dominant Standard Model decay t->bW, the other decays…
These lectures review the progress made in our present understanding of $B$ decays. The emphasis here is on applications of QCD to $B$ decays and the attendant perturbative and non-perturbative uncertainties, which limit present theoretical…
In this work we study the flavor changing neutral current(FCNC) decays of the top quark, $t\to c\gamma$ and $t\to c g$. The Standard Model, predictions for the branching ratios of these decays are about $\sim 5\times 10^{-14}$, and $\sim…
We propose a class of Two Higgs Doublet Models where there are Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) at tree level, but under control due to the introduction of a discrete symmetry in the full Lagrangian. It is shown that in this class…
Flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions for a top quark $t$ decays into $Xq$ with $X$ represents a neutral gauge or Higgs boson, and $q$ a up- or charm-quark are highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) due to the…
We study flavor violating processes in the production or decay of a neutral pseudoscalar meson $P^0$ in the framework of a general two Higgs Doublet Model type III (2HDM-III). We use a version of the model where Yukawa interactions of…
Recent experimental data on several observables in semileptonic $B$-meson decays are found to be in tension with the corresponding Standard Model predictions. Most of these deviations are related to $b \to c$ and $b \to s$ flavour changing…
We show that supersymmetric $R$-parity breaking ($\not R_p$) interactions always result in Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) processes. Within a single coupling scheme, these processes can be avoided in either the charge $+2/3$ or the…
Inspired by the recent Georgi's unparticle proposal, we study the flavor structures of the standard model (SM) particles when they couple to unparticles. At a very high energy scale, we introduce $\BZ$ charges for the SM particles, which…
The flavour changing neutral current decays can be interesting probes for searching for New Physics. Angular distributions of the decay $\mathrm{B}^0 \to \mathrm{K}^{*0} \mu^ +\mu^-$ are studied using a sample of proton-proton collisions at…
I explore the possibility of using heavy meson decays as probes for flavour changing neutral transitions (FCNC) $c\to u\gamma$ and $c\to ul^+l^-$. In the standard model, these are the most frequent FCN transitions among the quarks with…
We analyze the inclusive $b(c) \to s(u) \mu^+ \mu^-$ and the exclusive $B(D^+) \to K(\pi^+) \mu^+ \mu^-$ flavour changing neutral current decays in the light of HyperCP boson $X^0$ of mass 214 MeV recently observed in the hyperon decay…
The impact of right-handed currents in both charged- and neutral-current flavour-violating processes is analysed by means of an effective theory approach. More explicitly, we analyse the structure of dimension-six operators assuming a…

We analyze flavor-changing-neutral-current (FCNC) effects in the $b\to s$ transitions that are induced by family non-universal $U(1)'$ gauge symmetries. After systematically developing the necessary formalism, we present a correlated…
The simplest extension of the SM that generally introduces new sources of flavour and CP violation as well as right-handed currents is the addition of a U(1) gauge symmetry to the SM gauge group. If the corresponding heavy gauge boson Z'…
The flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC) are derived at tree level if the electroweak gauge group depends on the fermion family, which are absent in the standard model. We study the lepton flavour violation (LFV) through the FCNC…
CP violation can be observed in B decays when a given process depends upon interference between two weak amplitudes which have different $CP$-violating phases. Since most weak decay diagrams have quark lines where each has a definite flavor…
