We survey the possibilities of detecting the $s \rightarrow d \gamma$ transition in kaon and hyperon radiative decays. In the more frequent decays, like $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^o \gamma$, $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \ell^+ \ell^-$, the…
We study the effect of supersymmetric contributions to the effective quark transition $b\to s\gamma\gamma$, including leading order QCD effects. We apply the discussion to the decay $B_s\to\gamma\gamma$. Even though one-particle irreducible…
We study unparticle effects on $b\to s \gamma$. The unparticle contributions can contribute significantly to both left- and right-handed chirality amplitudes. Using available experimental data and SM calculation for $B\to X_s \gamma$, we…
The rare decays of mesons are higher order effects in weak interactions. The main contributions to such decay processes are from the Z-penguin, the photonpenguin and the box diagram. At the quark level, these contributions are well known.…
We investigate the rare decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ which receives both short and long distance contributions. We estimate the long distance contributions and find them very small. The form factors are obtained from $\Lambda_c \to…

We use the new symmetries in the heavy quark limit to calculate the exclusive B-decays $B \rightarrow K^i \psi $ where $K^i$ are higher resonances of K-meson. We then estimate the long distance contributions to $B \rightarrow K^i \gamma $…
The new experimental data of kaon photoproduction on the nucleon, gamma p -> K+ Lambda, have been analyzed by means of a multipoles model. Different from the previous models, in this analysis the resonance decay widths are constrained to…
We discuss the constraints on the supersymmetric parameter space from the decay mode b -> s \gamma for large values of tan\beta. We improve the theoretical prediction for the decay rate by summing very large radiative corrections to all…
We investigate the potential of rare hyperon decays to probe the short distance structure in the $s\to d\nu\bar\nu$ and $s\to d\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. Hyperon decays into neutrinos ($B_1\to B_2\nu\bar\nu$) can be reliably predicted by…

We present first calculations of new long-distance contributions to $B_s \to \gamma \gamma$ decay due to intermediate $D_s$ and $D_s^*$ meson states. The relevant $\gamma$ vertices are estimated using charge couplings and transition moment…
The calculation of the one-loop induced decay rate b -> s \gamma is improved by including radiative corrections to the charged Higgs mass and to the charged-Higgs-fermion-fermion vertex. It is shown how the radiative corrections modify the…
QCD corrections to $b \to s \gamma$ decay in the two Higgs doublet model are calculated from the energy scale of top quark to that of bottom. The constraints on the two Higgs doublet model from the new experimental bounds of $b\to s\gamma$…
We estimate the long distance (LD) contribution to the magnetic part of the $s \to d\gamma$ transition using the Vector Meson Dominance approximation $(V=\rho,\omega,\psi_i)$. We find that this contribution may be significantly larger than…
We investigate the impact of new physics beyond the Standard Model to the $s \rightarrow d \gamma$ process, which is responsible for the short-distance contribution to the radiative decay $\Otogamma$. We study three representative…
In $B \to X_s \gamma $ there are perturbative $QCD$ corrections at order $\alpha_s$ not only to the single quark line process $ b \to s \gamma$ but also coming from a set of diagrams where the weak interaction vertex involves a gluon which…
Rescattering effects can modify the dependence on the weak phase $\gamma = -{\rm Arg}(V^*_{ub}V_{ud}/V^*_{cb} V_{cd})$ of the ratio of rates for $B^{\pm} \to K \pi^\pm$ and $B \to K^\pm \pi^\mp$. A test for these effects based on the…
QCD sum rules are used to calculate the contribution of short-distance single-quark transition $s\rightarrow d \gamma$, to the amplitudes of the hyperon radiative decay, $\Omega^-\rightarrow \Xi^-\gamma$. We re-evaluate the Wilson…
Motivated by recent experimental results on charm physics we investigate implications of the updated constraints of new physics in rare charm meson decays. We first reconsider effects of the MSSM in $c\to u \gamma$ constrained by the recent…
