One of the main indications for New Physics in rare $B$-decays is deduced from the tension between experimental and Standard Model predictions of the angular analysis of the $B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^+\mu^-$ decay. There are however possible…
Motivated by the anomalies present in $b \to u$ and $b \to c$ semileptonic decays, we study the corresponding $B_s \to (K,K^*) \tau \nu$ and $B \to \pi \tau \nu$ decays within an effective field theory formalism. Our analysis is based on a…
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…
Experimental measurements of $R_{D}$, $R_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/\Psi}$ in $B \to (D,\,D^{\ast})l\nu$ and $B_c \to J/\Psi l \nu$ decays mediated via $b \to c\,l\,\nu$ charged current interactions deviate from standard model prediction by…
I review the current status of measurements involving semi-tauonic $B$ meson decay at the $B$-factories. I briefly discuss the experimental methods and highlight the importance of background contributions especially from poorly understood…
At the present time, there are a number of measurements of $B$-decay observables that disagree with the predictions of the standard model. These discrepancies have been seen in processes governed by two types of decay: (i) $b \to s \mu^+…
Rare radiative, leptonic and semileptonic B meson decays are valuable probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk reviews the sensitivity to new physics of observables related to two rare B decays to be measured in the near…
Recently several measurements in the neutral current sector $b\rightarrow s l^+l^-$ ($l=e$ or $\mu$) as well as in the charged current sector $b \rightarrow c \tau \bar{\nu}$ show significant deviations from their Standard Model…
We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly altered if there are important new-physics contributions to \bqbqbar mixing. This same new physics…
The study of the rare decays $B\to K^{(*)} \nu \bar\nu$ offers a window into the dynamics operating at the electroweak scale, allowing studies of the Standard Model and searches for heavy new physics. However, the analysis of these decays…
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…
We study the rare $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\mu^+\mu^-$ decay in the Standard Model and beyond. Beyond the Standard Model we include new vector and axial-vector operators, scalar and pseudo-scalar operators, and tensor operators in the effective…
The recent updated angular analysis of the $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ decay by the LHCb collaboration is interpreted by performing a global fit to all relevant measurements probing the flavour-changing neutral current $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$…
Recent LHCb results on $R_{K^*}$, the ratio of the branching fractions of $B \to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-$ to that of $B \to K^* e^+ e^-$, for the dilepton invariant mass bins $q^2 \equiv m_{\ell\ell}^2 = [0.045 - 1.1]$ GeV$^2$ and $[1.1 - 6]$…
We analyze the New Physics sensitivity of a recently proposed method to measure the CP-violating ${\cal B}(K_S\to\mu^+\mu^-)_{\ell=0}$ decay rate using $K_S - K_L$ interference. We present our findings both in a model-independent EFT…
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.…
Kaon physics provides a unique opportunity to identify new flavour and CP violating interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, implied by the hierarchical structure of the CKM matrix and the GIM mechanism, flavour changing…
The lepton universality violating flavor ratios $R_K/R_{K^*}$ indicate new physics either in $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ or in $b \to s e^+ e^-$ or in both. If the new physics is only $b \to s e^+ e^-$ transition, the corresponding new physics…
In this letter we revisit the Standard Model predictions for $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{(\ast)}\nu\bar{\nu})$ and discuss the opportunities that open up when combining its partial decay rate with that of $B\to K^{(\ast)}\ell\ell$. In the Standard…
We perform a model independent analysis of new physics in $B^*_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay. We intend to identify new physics operator(s) which can provide large enhancement in the branching ratio of $B^*_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$…
