Recent measurements of exclusive $B^{-} \to \tau^{-}\,\nu$ and $B^0 \to \pi^{+}\,l^{-}\,\bar{\nu}_l$ decays via the $b \to u\,l\,\nu$ transition process differ from the standard model expectation and, if they persist in future $B$…
We re-consider recent measures of $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^*}$, now compatible with the Standard Model expectations, as well as the results for the process $\text{BR}(B_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-)$ alongside earlier determinations of…
We speculate about the possible interpretations of the recently observed excess in the $h \to \tau \mu$ decay. We derive a robust lower bound on the Higgs boson coupling strength to a tau and a muon, even in presence of the most general new…
Semileptonic $B$ meson decays into the four lightest excited charmed meson states ($D_0^*$, $D_1^*$, $D_1$, and $D_2^*$) and their counterparts with $s$ quarks are investigated, including the full lepton mass dependence. We derive the…
This document describes my talk (based on work by JoAnne Hewett, Sandip Pakvasa, Alexey Petrov, Gagik Yeghiyan and myself) given at the 2011 Meeting of the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society (8/9/11-8/13/11)…
In this work we consider the implications of current $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell=e,\,\mu$) measurements on several $B \to K^* \tau^+ \tau^-$ observables under the assumption that the possible new physics can have both universal as well…
In this publication we present an extension of the Standard Model within the framework of Connes' noncommutative geometry [1]. The model presented here is based on a minimal spectral triple [7] which contains the Standard Model particles,…
At present, there are several measurements of $B$ decays that exhibit discrepancies with the predictions of the Standard Model, and suggest the presence of new physics in $b\to s$ and $b \to c(u)$ quark level transitions. Motivated by the…
We present a Bayesian analysis of the implications for new physics in semileptonic $b\to s$ transitions after including new measurements of $R_K$ at LHCb and new determinations of $R_{K^*}$ and $R_{K^{*+}}$ at Belle. We perform global fits…
To embed the seesaw mechanism in the MSSM, two or three right-handed neutrino supermultiplets, $N_i$, have to be added to the model. In the presence of these new superfields, the soft supersymmetry breaking potential includes a lepton…
We show that the low energy limit of the minimal supersymmetric Left-Right models is the supersymmetric standard model with an exact R-parity. The theory predicts a number of light Higgs scalars and fermions with masses much below the $B-L$…
We speculate about the possible interpretations of the recently observed excess in the $h \to \tau \mu$ decay. We derive a robust lower bound on the Higgs boson coupling strength to a tau and a muon, even in presence of the most general new…
Spacetime variations of physical constants can be associated with the existence of Higgs-like scalar field(s) that couple non-universally to the baryonic matter. Recent results of astronomical spectral measurements of the fractional changes…
The rare decays $B\to K^{(*)}\ell^+\ell^-$, $B\to K^{(*)}\nu\bar\nu$ and $B_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ are analyzed in a generic scenario where New Physics effects enter predominantly via $Z$ penguin contributions. We show that this possibility is…
Leptonic rare decays of $B^0_{s,d}$ mesons offer a powerful tool to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The $B^0_{s}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay has been observed at the Large Hadron Collider and the first measurement of the effective…
We report our theoretical calculations on the branching fractions for the semileptonic $B$ and $B_s$ decays, i.e., $B (B_s) \to (P,\, V,\, S,\,A) \ell \nu_\ell$, where $P$ and $V$ denote the pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively,…
Decays of $B$ mesons with leptons in the final state offer an interesting laboratory to search for possible effects of physics from beyond the Standard Model. In view of puzzling patterns in experimental data, the violation of lepton…
Tensor operators are often invoked as specific new physics operators beyond the standard model in an effort to explain anomalies in rare B-decays and CP asymmetries. Specifically, $b \to s \mu^+\mu^-$ tensor operators are invoked in the…
We report on a calculation of Higgs-boson contributions to the decays B_s -> l^+l^- and B -> K l^+l^- (l=e, mu) which are governed by the effective Hamiltonian describing b -> s l^+ l^-. Compact formulae for the Wilson coefficients are…
The custodial Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model with SU(2) gauge fields is studied on the lattice. This model has the same global symmetry structure as the Standard Model but the additional Higgs field enlarges the scalar spectrum and opens the…
