The measurement of the time-dependent CP-asymmetry of $B^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ decays is sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. To translate this measurement into a constraint on new physics, it is…
The experimental measurements of flavor-changing neutral-current B-meson decays governed by b --> s + (gamma, l^+ l^-) transitions have entered a new level of precision. Recent results by Belle, CDF, Babar, and LHCb on B -->K^(*) l^+ l^-…
We perform the complete computation of the contributions to $b\to s+\gamma, b\to s e^{+}e^{-}, b\to s\sum \nu_{i} \bar{\nu}_{i}$ in supersymmetric model with bilinear R-parity violation. We compare our calculations with the evaluations in…
Charged and neutral B decays into the pi+pi-K, K+K-K and K0S K0S K0S systems have been studied. The pi+pi- and K+K- final state interactions in the S-wave isoscalar state are treated in an unitary way. The long-distance contributions called…
The decays $B_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B_s\to K^+ K^-$ are related to each other by interchanging all down and strange quarks, i.e. through the $U$-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. A completely general parametrization of the…
We explore the possibility of extracting the weak phase $\gamma$ from pure tree decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda (D^0, \bar{D^0}, D^0_{CP})$ in a model independent way. The CP violating weak phase $\gamma$ can be determined cleanly, without…
Constraints on the CKM angle \gamma are presented from GLW, ADS, and GGSZ analyses of B+- -> D K+- at the LHCb experiment. The branching fractions of B0 -> D0bar K+ \pi- and Bs -> D0bar K- \pi+ are also reported, measured relative to the…
In this work, we calculate the rare decays $B^0 \to D_s^{*-} K^+$ and $B^+ \to D_s^{*+} \bar{K}^0$ in perturbative QCD approach with Sudakov resummation. We give the branching ratio of $10^{-5}$ for $B^0 \to D_s^{*-}K^+$, which will be…
The quark-level process $b \to s \gamma$ has been used extensively to place constraints on new interactions. These same interactions can be further constrained from the enhancement they induce in the quark-level $s \to d \gamma$ transition,…
We express the amplitudes for charmless three-body B decays in terms of diagrams. In addition, we show how to use Dalitz-plot analyses to obtain decay amplitudes which are symmetric or antisymmetric under the exchange of two of the…
We present a bound on the weak phase $\alpha$ from isospin-breaking effects in weak radiative decays, which requires the CP-averaged branching ratios for the weak radiative decays $B^\pm\to \rho^\pm \gamma$, $B^0\to \rho^0/\omega \gamma$,…
We study the decay of Ds meson into final states involving a Ks and report the discovery of Cabibbo suppressed decay modes Ds -> Kspi-pi+pi+ (179 +/- 36 events) and Ds -> Kspi+ (113 +/-26 events). The branching ratios for the new modes are…
In view of recent experimental progress in rate and CP asymmetry measurements in $B^{\pm} \to DK^{\pm}$, we reconsider information on the weak phase $\gamma$ which can be obtained from these processes. Model-independent inequalities are…

By using very general and well established features of soft strong interactions we show, contrary to conventional expectations, that (i) soft final state interactions (FSI) do not disappear for large $m_B$, (ii) inelastic rescattering is…
In this work, we study possible new contributions to $\epsilon_{K}$ and $\epsilon_{B}$ in the MSSM with large supersymmetric phases. We show that, in the CMSSM, the constrains coming from the experimental measure of the $b \to s \gamma$…
The LHCb collaboration has studied various promising ways to determine the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$. Three complementary methods will be considered. The potential of the $B \to DK^{(*)}$ decays has been studied by employing the…
We establish improved upper limits on branching fractions for B0 decays to final States 10 where the decay products are purely invisible (i.e., no observable final state particles) and for final states where the only visible product is a…
