Anomalies in the non-leptonic $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow D^{(*)+}K^{(*)-}$ and $\bar{B}^0_s\rightarrow D^{(*)+}_s\pi^-$ decays may be an indication of physics beyond the Standard Model, but the large deviations require strongly coupled new…

Several experiments observed deviations from the Standard Model (SM) in the flavour sector: LHCb found a $4-5\,\sigma$ discrepancy compared to the SM in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transitions (recently supported by an Belle analysis) and CMS…

We investigate the implications of scalar and tensor operators proposed to accommodate the hints of lepton flavor universality violation in charged-current $B$-meson decays. We show that these scenarios unavoidably induce chirality enhanced…

We study possible deviations from the Standard Model in the reaction $e^+e^- \to Z\phi$, where $\phi$ denotes a spinless neutral boson. We show how the $Z$ decay angular correlation can be used to extract detailed information on the $\phi$…

The Standard Model (SM) is amended by one generation of quarks and leptons which are vector-like (VL) under the SM gauge group but chiral with respect to a new $\mathrm{U}(1)_{3-4}$ gauge symmetry. We show that this model can simultaneously…

We explore models where single new exotic states interact with the Standard Model through an asymmetric Standard Model portal with couplings to at least one quark and one lepton. All effective operators up to dimension six where such…

The LHCb measurements of the $\mu / e$ ratio in $B \to K \ell \ell$ decays $(R_{K^{}})$ indicate a deficit with respect to the Standard Model prediction, supporting earlier hints of lepton universality violation observed in the…

Depending on the assumptions on the power corrections to the exclusive b -> s l+ l- decays, the latest data of the LHCb collaboration - based on the 3 fb^-1 data set and on two different experimental analysis methods - still shows some…

We present a detailed discussion of the current theoretical and experimental situation of the anomaly in the angular distribution of $B \to K^*(\to K\pi)\mu^+\mu^-$, observed at LHCb in the $1~\text{fb}^{-1}$ dataset and recently confirmed…

The decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the most promising modes to probe physics beyond the standard model (SM), since the angular distribution of the decay products enable measurement of several constraining observables. LHCb has…

A search for a long-lived scalar particle $\chi$ is performed, looking for the decay ${B^+ \to K^+ \chi}$ with ${\chi \to \mu^+\mu^-}$ in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\, {\rm fb}^{-1}$, collected by the…

B --> K^* \pi and B --> \rho K decays involve the same quark-level processes as B --> \pi K. Analyzing the measurements of the former decays might be able to shed additional light on the new-physics hints in the current B --> \pi K data. We…

We study the simplest renormalizable scalar leptoquark models where the standard model is augmented only by one additional scalar representation of SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1). The requirement that there be no proton decay from renormalizable…

We revisit the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda_c^+ \ell^-\bar\nu$ ($\ell = e,\mu,\tau$) with a subsequent two-body decay $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda^0 \pi^+$ in the Standard Model and in generic New Physics models. The decay's joint…

The ratio of the measured $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\ell\bar{\nu}$ decay rates for $\ell = \tau$ vs. $e,\mu$ deviate from the Standard Model (SM) by about $4\sigma$. We show that the data are in tension with the SM, independent of form factor…

An angular analysis of the $B^{0}\rightarrow K^{*0}(\rightarrow K^{+}\pi^{-})\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decay is presented. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,{\mbox{fb}^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at the LHCb…

The relatively clean theoretical probes of the Standard Model (SM), and the various theories beyond the SM, provided by radiative, semi-leptonic and (purely) leptonic decays of B-mesons have become increasingly important. Due to the large…

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…

The rare decays of $\Lambda_b$ baryon governed by the quark level transitions $ b \to s$, are investigated in the fourth quark generation model popularly known as SM4. Recently it has been shown that SM4, which is a very simple extension of…

We review the current status and implications of the anomalies (i.e. deviations from the Standard Model predictions) in semi-leptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged and in the neutral current. In $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions…
