We investigate the longitudinal lepton polarization asymmetry in the exclusive processes $B\to K l^+l^-$ and $B\to K^* l^+l^-$. We include both short and long-distance contributions to the asymmetry in our discussions. We find that average…

We investigate the semileptonic and leptonic B decays, B to D^{(*)} tau nu and B to tau nu in our multi-Higgs-doublet models, while keeping in mind the enhancement of the top forward-backward (FB) asymmetry (A^t_{FB}) at the Tevatron. In…

In this paper we study the noncommutative effects to the lepton spectrum from the decay of a polarized top quark. It is shown that the lowest contribution comes from the quadratic terms of the noncommutative parameter. The deviations from…
We study the polarisation of gauge bosons produced at the LHC. Polarisation effects for W bosons manifest themselves in the angular distributions of the lepton and in the distributions of lepton transverse momentum and missing transverse…
