We point out that the precision measurements of the pseudo observables R_b^0, A_b, and A_FB^0,b performed at LEP and SLC suggest that in models with minimal-flavor-violation the sign of the Z-penguin amplitude is identical to the one…
Within constrained minimal-flavor-violation the large destructive flavor-changing Z-penguin managed to survive eradication so far. We give a incisive description of how to kill it using the precision measurements of the Z -> b anti-b pseudo…
In minimal supersymmetric seesaw models, the contribution to lepton flavour violation from Z-penguins is usually negligible. In this study, we consider the supersymmetric inverse seesaw and show that, in this case, the Z-penguin…
The role of penguin amplitudes in CP violating $B$ decays is reviewed, emphasizing recent progress in the analysis of electroweak penguin contributions. It is shown how these terms are included in a model-independent manner when measuring…
In minimal supersymmetric models the $Z$-penguin usually provides sub-dominant contributions to charged lepton flavour violating observables. In this study, we consider the supersymmetric inverse seesaw in which the non-minimal particle…
There have been some recent claims in the literature about large right-handed sneutrinos contributions to lepton flavor violating observables like $\mu \to 3e$ or $\mu - e$ conversion in nuclei in supersymmetric low-scale seesaw models.…
A new experimental analysis of $B\to K\pi$ decays provides finite experimental values for the contributions from interference terms between the dominant penguin amplitude and the color-favored and color-suppressed tree amplitudes. These…
The persistent deviations observed in semileptonic $B$ decays, in particular the lepton flavor universality ratios $\mathcal{R}(D^{(*)})$ and $\mathcal{R}(\Lambda_c)$, provide intriguing hints of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM).…
Precision measurements of branching fractions and CP asymmetries in non-leptonic b -> s decays reveal certain "puzzles" when compared with Standard Model expectations based on a global fit of the CKM triangle and general theoretical…
A recent proposal for explaining discrepancies in angular observables in the rare decay B --> K*mu+mu- with a gauged L_mu - L_tau current carried with it the prediction of lepton flavor universality violation in related B-meson decays. This…
The measured value of A_b, the Z \bar bb asymmetry parameter, disagrees with the Standard Model at 99% confidence level. If genuine the discrepancy could indicate new interactions unique to third generation quarks, implying enhanced Z…
Charged lepton flavor violating processes are forbidden in the standard model (SM), hence the observation of charged lepton flavor transitions would represent a clear signal of new physics beyond the standard Model. In this work, we…
Present measurements of b->c tau nu and b->u tau nu transitions differ from the standard model predictions of lepton flavor universality by almost 4sigma. We examine new physics interpretations of this anomaly. An effective field theory…
The new precise LEP measurements of alphas and the electroweak mixing angle as well as the new LEP II mass limits for supersymmetric particles and new calculations for the radiative (penguin) decay of the b-quark into sgamma allow a further…
Lepton flavor violation (LFV) has been observed in neutrino oscillations. For charged lepton FV decays only upper limits are known, but sizable branching ratios are expected in many neutrino mass models. High scale models, such as the…
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…
Gauged extensions [$SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y\otimes U(1)_X$] of the standard $SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y$ model obtained without extending the fermion content of the model are studied. Models that are possible when $U(1)_X$ is identified with some…
The latest measurements of rare $b\to s$ decays in the LHCb experiment have led to results in tension with the predictions of the standard model (SM), including a tentative indication of the violation of lepton flavor universality. Assuming…
By using the recent experimental measurements of B -> pi pi and B -> K pi branching ratios, we find that the amplitudes computed at the leading order of the LambdaQCD/mb expansion disagree with the observed BRs, even taking into account the…
The high precision to which the standard model has been confirmed implies that new physics effects have to be small in the observed processes. Together with the outstanding precision expected from present and future collider experiments…
