We perform a study of the Standard Model (SM) fit to the mixing quantities $\Delta M_{B_s}$, and $\Delta \Gamma_{B_s}/\Delta M_{B_s}$ in order to bound contributions of New Physics to $B_s$ mixing. We then use this to explore the branching…
In this letter, we consider the constraints imposed by the recent measurement of B_s - bar B_s mixing on the new physics contribution to the rare decay B_s --> mu+ mu-. New physics in the form vector and axial-vector couplings is already…
We re-visit the problem of New Physics (NP) contribution to the branching ratio of the $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay in light of the recent observation of this decay by LHCb. We consider R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric models as a…
I discuss the interpretation of the recent experimental data on $B_s$ mixing in terms of model-independent new-physics parameters.
We analyse three different New Physics scenarios for Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral currents in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrise generic New Physics contributions to B_q-Bbar_q mixing…
In this talk I give a theoretical overview of the rare decays $B_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $B_{d} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$. The branching ratios of these decays are promising probes of New Physics, both independently and relative to each other.…
A short summary is given of the current status of B physics. Reasons for physics beyond the Standard Model are discussed. Constraints on New Physics are given using measurements of B mixing, Bs mixing, and CP violation, along with |Vub.…
The phenomenon of $B^0_q-\bar B^0_q$ mixing ($q=d,s$) provides a sensitive probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. We explore the corresponding space for New Physics left through the current data, having a careful look at analyses of…
We present the current status of the search for new physics effects in the mixing quantities $\Delta M_s$, $\Delta \Gamma_s$ and $\phi_s$ of the neutral $B_s$-system.
The rare decay $B^0_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ plays a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. It is pointed out that the sizable decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the $B_s$-meson system affects this channel in a subtle way. As a…
A new way of probing new physics in the $B$ meson system is provided. We define double ratios for the observables of $B_{d,s}$-$\Bbar_{d,s}$ mixings and $B_{d,s}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays, and find simple relations between the observables. By…
The B_s to mu+ mu- decay plays an outstanding role in tests of the Standard Model and physics beyond it. The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the first evidence for this decay at the 3.5 sigma level, with a branching ratio in the…
New physics in the form of scalar/pseudoscalar operators cannot lower the semileptonic branching ratio B(B --> K mu+ mu-) below its standard model value. In addition, we show that the upper bound on the leptonic branching ratio B(B_s -->…
The status of the Unitarity Triangle beyond the Standard Model including the most recent results on Delta m_s, on dilepton asymmetries and on width differences is presented. Even allowing for general New Physics loop contributions the…
We perform model-independent statistical analyses of three scenarios accommodating New Physics (NP) in Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral current amplitudes. In a scenario in which NP in B_d-B_d-bar and B_s-B_s-bar is uncorrelated, we find…
I report on investigations of physics beyond the Standard Model using experiments designed to investigate $b$ quark and $c$ quark interactions. Generalized searches involving loop diagrams using heavy meson mixing and CP violation…
We combine all the available experimental information on Bs mixing, including the very recent tagged analyses of Bs to J/Psi phi by the CDF and D0 collaborations. We find that the phase of the Bs mixing amplitude deviates more than 3 sigma…
As is well known, $B^0_{d,s}$--$\bar B^0_{d,s}$ mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. The data obtained at the $e^+e^-$ $B$ factories have already provided valuable insights into the…
After reviewing the present experimental constraints on the unitarity triangle, I discuss the various ways in which new physics can manifest itself in measurements of the parameters of the unitarity triangle. Apart from one exception, which…
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 -->…
