An analysis of the rare B decays $B\to K^{(*)}\nu\bar\nu$ is presented both within the SM and beyond. The SM predictions for the branching ratios are updated and uncertainties reduced. For the NP analysis both a model independent approach…
Overconstraining the CKM unitarity triangle with precision measurements of its angles continues to test the validity of the Standard Model. One of these angles, gamma/phi_3, has been measured by studying B+- -> D K+- decays, where D = D0 or…
Measurements of Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) processes (rare decays, flavor mixing) play a key role to pursue new physics beyond the Standard Model. We present recent analysis results about some FCNC transitions performed by CDF…
A time dependent angular analysis of the decay mode $B_s \rightarrow J/\psi \phi$ allows for the measurement of the mixing induced CP-violating phase $\phi_s$. Within the Standard Model $\phi_s$ is theoretically precisely predicted to be…
The new angular analysis of the decay $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ recently presented by the LHCb Collaboration still indicates some tensions with the Standard Model predictions. There are several ongoing analyses to solve the problem of…
In the context of SUSY grand unification a link is established between the hadronic and leptonic soft breaking sectors. Such relation is here exploited in particular for FCNC processes in B physics. It is shown how bounds on leptonic FCNC…
We investigate the ten independent local form-factors relevant to the $b$-baryon decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+\ell^-$, combining information of lattice QCD and dispersive bounds. We propose a novel parametrization of the form factors…
The study of rare B-decays at SuperB provides unique opportunities to understand the Standard Model and constrain new physics. We discuss the new physics potential of the leptonic B^+ -> l^+ nu_l decays from the proposed SuperB experiment…
In this paper we present cosmological constraints on several well-known $f(R)$ models, but also on a new class of models that are variants of the Hu-Sawicki one of the form $f(R)=R-\frac{2\Lambda}{1+b\;y(R,\Lambda)}$, that interpolate…
We investigate the physics reach and potential for the study of various decays involving a $b \to s \nu \bar{\nu}$ transition at the Future Circular Collider running electron-positron collisions at the $Z$-pole (FCC-ee). Signal and…
Even though the Standard Model (SM) has achieved great success, its application to the field of low energies still lacks solid foundation due to our limited knowledge on non-perturbative QCD. Practically, all theoretical calculations of the…
Rare flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) decays of top, beauty and charm quarks can provide a powerful probe for as yet unobserved particles. Recent results on FCNC $b \to s$, $c \to u$ and $t$ transitions from the LHC experiments are…
The present status of the LHC anomalies found in exclusive semileptonic $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays is discussed with special emphasis on the exclusive 4-body angular distribution $B \to K^*(\to K\pi)\ell^+\ell^-$. The treatment of hadronic…
The ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments will perform extensive searches for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The investigation of decays of beauty hadrons represents an alternative and complementary approach to the direct BSM searches.…
The recent measurement on the decay constant of $D_s$ shows a discrepancy between theory and experiment. We study the leptonic and semileptonic decays of $D$ and $D_s$ simultaneously within the standard model by employing a lightfront quark…
We propose to perform a combined analysis of $B \to \pi\pi$ and $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ modes, in the framework of a global CKM fit. The method optimizes the constraining power of these decays and allows to derive constraints on NP contributions…
We present a systematic analysis for the rare baryonic exclusive decays of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda l^+ l^- (l=e,\mu,\tau)$. We study the differential decay rates and the di-lepton forward-backward, lepton polarization and various CP…
We consider the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) of type III which leads to Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) at tree level. In the framework of this model we can use an appropriate form of the Yukawa Lagrangian that makes the type II…
We review the theoretical status of b to s hadronic penguin decays in the Standard Model and beyond. We summarize the main theoretical tools to compute Branching Ratios and CP asymmetries for b to s penguin dominated nonleptonic decays, and…
A number of observables related to the $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transition show deviations from their standard model predictions. A global fit to the current $b\rightarrow s\ell^+\ell^-$ data suggests several new physics solutions.…
