Rare radiative, leptonic and semileptonic B meson decays are valuable probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk reviews the sensitivity to new physics of observables related to two rare B decays to be measured in the near…
We present a selection of topics with an interplay of hadron and few-body physics. This includes few-nucleon systems, light hypernuclei and quark dynamics for baryons and multiquarks. It is stressed that standard quark models predict very…
In this short presentation I emphasize the increased importance of kaon flavour physics in the search for new physics (NP) that we should witness in the rest of this decade and in the next decade. The main actors will be the branching…
Rare decays of the $B$ meson are sensitive to new physics effects. Several experimental results on these decays have been difficult to understand within the standard model (SM) though more precise measurements and a better understanding of…
We start with a brief presentation of the Standard Model and the weak neutral current, in view of a discussion of parity-violation in electron-hadron electroweak interactions. We then discuss some limitations of this model, motivating the…

Virtual effects induced by new physics in rare Z decays are reviewed. Since the expected sensitivity of the giga-Z linear collider is of the order of $10^{-8}$, we emphasize the importance of any new physics effect that gives a prediction…
It has been clear for past many years that in low energy observables new physics can only appear as a perturbation. Therefore precise theoretical predictions and precise experimental measurements have become mandatory. Here we draw…
The properties of strange hadrons, i.e. of kaons and hyperons, in the nuclear medium are discussed in connection with neutron star properties and relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Firstly, the relevant medium modifications of a kaon in a…
Rare kaon decays provide unique opportunity to test the Standard Model and probe its possible extensions. The final result on the lepton universality test by measuring the ratio R_K = G(K+- to e+- nu)/G(K+- to mu+- nu) is presented as well…

The Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 investigated the top quark decay in search of deviations from the Standard Model. Rare processes expected in the Standard Model as well as decays including hypothetical particles of models beyond the…
The exclusive (B -> K_2 l^+ l^-) decay is studied using the most general, model independent four-fermion interaction. The sensitivity of the ratio of the decay widths when K_2 meson is longitudinally and transversally polarized, the…
Meson decays offer a good opportunity to probe new physics. The rare kaon decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ is one of the cleanest of them and, for this reason, is rather sensitive to new physics, in particular, vector mediators.…
Measurements of the combined branching ratios for $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ and $B_d \to \pi^\mp K^\pm$ allow interesting constraints on the CKM angle $\gamma$, the ratio $r \equiv |T'|/|P'|$ of the current-current and penguin operator…
The rare kaon decay program at BNL is summarized. A brief review of recent results is provided along with a discussion of prospects for the future of this program. The primary focus is the two golden modes: k+->pnn and kl->pnn. The first…
We review current issues in exclusive semileptonic tau decays. We present the formalism of structure functions, and then discuss predictions for final states with kaons, for decays into four pions and for radiative corrections to the decay…
The rare kaon decay $K^+ \to \pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ offers insights into Standard Model (SM) physics and beyond. Driven by vector form factor in the SM, it can also probe non-standard contributions. In this letter we study the scalar…
In this talk an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within and beyond the Standard Model is presented. Combining new form factor determinations from lattice QCD with light-cone sum rule…
In this talk I discuss the effects of physics beyond the standard model on the process $Z \to b\bar{b}$. I argue that, because the top-quark is heavy, this process is susceptible to large corrections from new physics.
