I present three recent results from searches for exotic physics at the BaBar/PEP-II B-factory. These results span many of the samples produced at the B-factory, including B mesons, tau leptons, and Upsilon(3S) mesons. We have searched for…
Till today lepton flavor violation has not been observed in processes involving charged leptons. Hence, a search for it is under hot pursuit both in theories and experiments. In our current work, we investigate the rates of rare decay…
We present a search for the decay B+ --> tau+ nu_tau using 467.8 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. We select a sample of events with one completely…
We present a search for the decays B0->e+e-, B0->mu+mu-, and B0->emu in data collected at the Upsilon(4S) with the BABAR detector at the SLAC B Factory. Using a data set of 54.4 fb-1, we find no evidence for a signal and set the following…
In the Standard Model of particle physics, charged leptons of different flavour couple to the electroweak force carriers with the same interaction strength. This property, known as lepton flavour universality, was found to be consistent…
Experimental hints for lepton-flavor universality violation in the muon's magnetic moment as well as neutral- and charged-current $B$-meson decays require Standard-Model extensions by particles such as leptoquarks that generically lead to…
We present a measurement of the total branching fraction of the flavor-changing neutral-current process B->Xsl+l-, along with partial branching fractions in bins of dilepton and hadronic system (Xs) mass, using a sample of 471x10^6…
In this work we examine the possible existence of new physics beyond the standard model which could modify the branching fractions of the leptonic (mainly tauonic) decays of bottomonium vector resonances below the $B\bar{B}$ threshold. The…
In the past few years, several hints of lepton flavour universality (LFU) violation have emerged in the $b \to c \tau \bar\nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ data. Quite recently, the Belle Collaboration has reported the first measurement of…
One of the fundamental predictions of the Standard Model is Lepton Flavour Universality. Any deviation from this prediction would indicate the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent LHCb measurements present a pattern of…
The most recent measurements of the observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are in tension with the Standard Model offering hints of New Physics in $b\rightarrow c \ell \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ transitions. Motivated by these results, in this work we present an…
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…
The physics motivation and the conceptual design of the PIONEER experiment, a next-generation rare pion decay experiment testing lepton flavor universality and CKM unitarity, are described. Phase I of the PIONEER experiment, which was…
Tests of lepton-universality as rate ratios in $b\to s \ell\ell$ transitions can be predicted very accurately in the Standard Model. The deficits with respect to expectations reported by the LHCb experiment in muon-to-electron ratios of the…
We present preliminary results from a search for the rare, flavor-changing neutral current decays B to K l+ l- and B to K* l+ l-, where l+ l- is either an e+ e- or mu+ mu- pair. The data sample comprises (84.4 +- 0.9) X 10e6 upsilon(4S) to…
We investigate the flavor violation (FV) of Z decays to leptons at tree level and flavor conserving Z decays to leptons in the frame work of the flipped $ SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X\otimes U(1)_N$,(F3311) model. In addition, we…
We report a measurement of the branching fraction of the semileptonic decay B- -> D0 l- nubar_l (and its charge conjugate) using 62.8/fb of Upsilon(4S) -> B Bbar data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e+…
We study lepton flavor observables in the Standard Model (SM) extended with all dimension-$6$ operators which are invariant under the SM gauge group. We calculate the complete one-loop predictions to the radiative lepton decays $\mu\to…
We present a measurement of the branching fraction for the flavor-changing neutral current process B --> Xs l+ l- based on a sample of 88.9 \times 10^6 Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage…
This paper reviews the recent progresses of the flavor and collider searches that can probe New Physics effects responsible for the current discrepancy in the lepton flavor universality ratio of $R_{D^{(*)}}$ between the experimental…
