Since several years there exists a question whether the dimensional reduction and the usual dimensional regularization give different results for the QCD-improved $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ and $b \rightarrow s$ $gluon$ decay rates. Here it…
We estimate the contributions of higher K-resonances to the radiative rare decays b -> s gamma. We use the spin symmetry for heavy quarks to reduce the number of independent form factors to four Isgur-Wise functions, which are estimated…
We study the contribution of the gluino-squark mediated flavor changing process for the CP violation in $b\to s$ and $b\to d$ transitions facing on recent experimental data. The mass insertion parameters of squarks are constrained by the…
Neutrinos from dense environments are connected to the longstanding open questions of how massive stars explode and what are the sites where $r$-process elements are made. Flavor evolution and neutrino properties can influence…
Rare decays of the B-meson that arise due to loop-mediated FCNC transitions are known to provide important constraints on beyond-SM theories. Basic properties of several such decays are reviewed here.
The measurements of rare leptonic and semi-leptonic B decays performed at the LHC, not showing any significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations, put strong constraints on new physics. A brief account of the impact of recent…
We study the effect of new flavor changing SUSY phases arising in the squark mass matrix in semileptonic decays B->Xs ll and B->K(*) ll (l=e,mu). SUSY effects are parametrized using the mass insertion approximation formalism. Constraints on…
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^-…
The rare decay b -> s s bar{d} is studied in the supersymmetric standard model by considering the contribution from the chargino box diagrams. We find that this contribution amounts to 10^{-9} in the branching ratio.
We give a status report on inclusive rare B decays, highlighting recent developments and open problems. We focus on the decay modes $B \to X_{s,d} \gamma$, $ B \to X_s \ell^+\ell^-$ and $B \to X_s \nu \bar \nu$ and on their role in the…
The importance of Yukawa contributions to the renormalization of the spectrum in non-minimal supersymmetric models is illustrated in the cases of explicit lepton number violation (leading to the possibility of singly produced sneutrinos at…
The paper deals with a next-to-leading order analysis of the radiative $B \to K^* \gamma$ decay. Working in a PQCD approach, we compute the correction to the essential form factor, coming from a single gluon exchange with the spectator. We…
We study the implications of a large nu_mu - nu_tau mixing angle on flavour changing transitions of quarks and leptons in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. Two patterns of supersymmetry breaking are considered, models with…
In a recent paper I concluded that the neutrino background is important for calculating neutrino flavor evolution in supernovae, and including it weakens the connection between r-process nucleosynthesis and cosmologically relevant neutrino…
If a light gaugino sector exists in the supersymmetric standard model then the mass of lightest neutralino may be of the order of 1 GeV or less. As a consequence of neutral flavor violation in supersymmetric theories $B_s$-meson may decay…
I review the status of the rare decays B_s --> mu+mu- and B_d --> mu+mu-. The latest Standard Model predictions for the corresponding branching ratios are discussed. An overview of additional observables that are accessible in the B_s -->…
We show that the exclusive decay $B\rightarrow K^{\ast}\gamma$ can be related to the semileptonic decay $B\rightarrow\rho e\bar{\nu}$ using heavy-quark symmetry and $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. A direct measurement of the $q^{2}$-spectrum for…
We study exclusive $B_s$ decays to final states with $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$, induced by the rare $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $b \to s \nu \bar \nu$ transitions. Differential decay rates and total branching fractions are predicted in the…
Using the most general model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian the rare decay B_s->nu nu gamma is studied. The sensitivity of the photon energy distribution and branching ratio to new Wilson coefficients are investigated.
We study the impact of the inverse seesaw mechanism on several low-energy flavour violating observables such as tau decaying to three muons in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. As a consequence of the inverse seesaw,…
