In this contribution, the recent calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order QCD and next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to the decay $B_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ is reviewed, and a detailed discussion of the uncertainty of the theory…
We present the calculation of next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to W-boson pair production at the LHC, taking off-shell effects of the W bosons and their leptonic decays into account in the framework of the so-called double-pole…
We study the charged Higgs effects on the decays of $B^{-} \to \tau \bar\nu_{\tau}$ and $\bar B\to P(V) \ell \bar\nu_{\ell}$ with $P=\pi^{+},D^{+}$ and $V=\rho^{+},D^{*+}$. We concentrate on the minimal supersymmetric standard model with…
Motivated by the first search for the rare charged-current $B$ decay to four leptons, $\ell \bar{\nu}_\ell \ell^{(\prime)} \bar{\ell}^{(\prime)}$, we calculate the decay amplitude with factorization methods. We obtain the $B\to \gamma^*$…
Very compelling deviations in the recently observed lepton nonuniversality observables $\big (R_{D^{(*)}}, R_{K^{(*)}}, R_{J/\psi} \big )$ of semileptonic $B$ meson decays from their Standard Model predictions hint towards the presence of…
Off-shell and relativistic bound-state corrections for the decay $t \to b+W$ are calculated to $O(\a_s^2)$ making full use of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for weakly bound systems. Thus we are able to take into account all terms to that…
The decays $\mu \rightarrow e \gamma$, $\mu \rightarrow e \gamma \gamma$, and $\mu \rightarrow e e \bar e$ are analysed in the framework of the Pati-Salam type quark-lepton symmetry $SU(4)_V \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes G_R$ where the effects of…
We report our ongoing lattice QCD study of radiative leptonic decays of the charged pseudoscalar mesons $D$, $D_s$, $B$, and $B_c \to \ell \nu_\ell \gamma$. We carry out our analysis on a single JLQCD ensemble with lattice spacing…
We report on determinations of |Vub| resulting from studies of the branching fraction and q^2 distributions in exclusive semileptonic B decays that proceed via the b->u transition. Our data set consists of the 9.7x10^6 BBbar meson pairs…
We investigate rare semileptonic \bar B -> \bar K^* l^+ l^- decays, providing a comprehensive treatment of theoretical uncertainties in the low-q^2 region as needed for interpreting current and future LHCb and B-factory data in terms of the…
Rescattering effects can modify the dependence on the weak phase $\gamma = -{\rm Arg}(V^*_{ub}V_{ud}/V^*_{cb} V_{cd})$ of the ratio of rates for $B^{\pm} \to K \pi^\pm$ and $B \to K^\pm \pi^\mp$. A test for these effects based on the…
Semi-leptonic $B$ decays provide promising channels to test the Standard Model, search for signs of new physics, or determine fundamental parameters like CKM matrix elements. We present an update on our calculation of short distance…
In this paper, we investigate the tree-dominated $\bar{B}^*_{u,d,s,c} \to V \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ ($V=D^*_{u,d}\,,D^*_s\,,J/\psi$ and $\ell=e\,,\mu\,,\tau$) decays in the Standard Model with the relevant form factors obtained in the…
When computing radiative corrections in models with compactified extra dimen- sions, one has to sum over the entire tower of Kaluza-Klein excitations inside the loops. The loop corrections generate a difference between the coupling strength…
We present a lattice-QCD determination of the $\Lambda \to p$ vector and axial-vector form factors, providing theoretical input for studies of the semileptonic decay $\Lambda \to p\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell$. The calculation is carried out on a…
Any quantum-confined electronic system coupled to the electromagnetic continuum is subject to radiative decay and renormalization of its energy levels. When coupled to a cavity, these quantities can be strongly modified with respect to…
Long-distance QCD effects in $B_{d,s}\to\ell^+\ell^-\gamma$ decays are analyzed. We show that the contribution of the light vector-meson resonances related to the virtual photon emission from valence quarks of the $B$-meson, which was not…
In the Standard Model, scalar contributions to leptonic and semileptonic decays are helicity suppressed. The hypothesis of additional physical neutral/charged Higgses can enhance such scalar contributions and give detectable effects…
We provide a systematic treatment of the previously discovered power-enhanced QED corrections to the leptonic decay $B_q\to \mu^+\mu^-$ ($q = d, s$) in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). Employing two-step matching on…
In this talk an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within and beyond the Standard Model is presented. Combining new form factor determinations from lattice QCD with light-cone sum rule…
