We study effects of supersymmetric particles in various rare B decay processes as well as in the unitarity triangle analysis. We consider three different supersymmetric models, the minimal supergravity, SU(5) SUSY GUT with right-handed…
We investigate the effect of general flavour mixing among squarks on the rare decays $\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma$, $\bar{B}_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $\bar{B}_s-B_s$ mixing beyond the leading order in perturbation theory. We include all large…
Two aspects of hadronic B decays are investigated. Firstly, the supersymmetric enhancement of hadronic b decays by gluino penguin processes is studied through their effect on the Wilson coefficients of the effective Hamiltonian. Secondly,…
We examine the process $B \to X_s \gamma$ in minimal supersymmetry (SUSY) with general squark flavor mixings. We include all relevant next--to--leading order (NLO) QCD corrections and dominant NLO SUSY effects from the gluino. We find that…

We study the pattern of gluino cascade decays in a class of supersymmetric models where R-parity is spontaneously broken. The multi-lepton and same-sign dilepton rates in these models are compared with those of the Minimal Supersymmetric…
We examine squark--gluino loop effects on the process $b \to s \gamma$ in minimal supersymmetry with general flavor mixing in the squark sector. In the regime of heavy squarks and gluino, we derive analytic expressions for the beyond--LO…
We study the semileptonic decays B -> Xs e+ e-, B -> Xs mu+ mu- in generic supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. SUSY effects are parameterized using the mass insertion approximation formalism and differences with MSSM results…
The Flavor Changing Neutral Current mediated decays $B \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ and $B^{0} \rightarrow K^{*0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ provide high sensitivity to new physics contributions. Sensitive observables include the branching fraction, the…
Squark and gluino decays are governed by the same mixing matrices as the contributions to flavour violating loop transitions of B-mesons. This allows for possible direct correlations between flavour non-diagonal observables in B and…
We study the effect of squark-generation mixing on gluino decays in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We show that due to the effect the quark-flavor violating (QFV) gluino decay branching ratio B(gluino -> c bar{t} (t…
We update the standard model predictions for the branching ratios of the decays B -> (K,K*,Xs) l^+ l^-, with l=e,mu. Using the measurements of BR(B -> Xs gamma) and BR(B -> K l^+ l^-) as well as the upper limits on BR(B -> (K*,Xs) l^+…
We present a MSSM study of the b -> s gamma decay in a Minimal Flavor Violating (MFV) framework, where the form of the soft SUSY breaking terms is determined by the Standard Model Yukawa couplings. In particular, we address the role of…
The rare decay B --> Phi K_S is a well-known probe of physics beyond the Standard Model because it arises only through loop effects yet has the same time-dependent CP asymmetry as B --> Psi K_S. Motivated by recent data suggesting new…

Rare B decays of the type $b \to s~\ell^+\ell^-(\nu\bar\nu)$ are analyzed in a generic scenario where New Physics effects enter predominantly via $Z$ penguin contributions. We show that this possibility is both phenomenologically allowed…
