We search for decays of a B meson into a neutral D meson and a kaon, with the D meson decaying into K+pi-pi0. This final state can be reached through the b --> c transition B- -> D0K- followed by the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D0 -->…

Thermal suppression of quarkonium production in heavy-ion collisions, due to Debye screening of the quark-antiquark potential, has been proposed as a clear signature of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formation. At RHIC energies, the $\Upsilon$…

We investigate several quantities, defined in the decays of top quark pairs, which can be used to explore non-standard Wtb interactions. Two new angular asymmetries are introduced in the leptonic decay of top (anti)quarks. Both are very…

The T-odd top-quark chromoelectric dipole moment, $d_t$, is probed through top-quark-pair production via gluon fusion at the CERN LHC with the possibility of having polarized proton beams in account. At 1-$\sigma$ level, the typical CP-odd…

In the standard model, for the t --> W b decay mode, the relative phase is 0-degrees between the dominant A(0,-1/2) and A(-1, -1/2) helicity amplitudes. However, in the case of an additional large t_R --> b_L chiral weak-transition moment,…

We study the decay $B^-\to DK^{*-}$ using a sample of 379$\times 10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S)\to B\bar{B}$ events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II $B$-factory. We perform a "GLW" analysis where the $D$ meson decays into either a…

Determining the spin of new particles is critical in identifying the true theory among various extensions of the Standard Model at the next generation of colliders. Quantum interference between different helicity amplitudes was shown to be…
