B physics has played a prominent role in investigations of new physics effects at low-energies. Presently, the largest discrepancy between a standard model prediction and experimental measurements appears in the branching ratio of the…
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…
The Belle-II experiment has recently reported the first measurement of $B^+ \to K^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ decay which exceeds the Standard Model prediction by approximately 2.7$\sigma$. The deviation may indicate the presence of new physics beyond…
It is generally believed that the decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the best modes to search for physics beyond the standard model. The angular distribution enables the independent measurement of several observables as a function…
Following updated and extended measurements of the full angular distribution of the decay $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda(\to p\,\pi^-)\mu^+\mu^-$ by the LHCb collaborations, as well as a new measurement of the $\Lambda \to p \pi^-$ decay asymmetry…
The first observation of $\mathcal{B}\left(B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu\nu\right)$ by the Belle II experiment lies almost $3\sigma$ away from the Standard Model expectation. In this letter we study this result in the SMEFT, extended by a light…
Recent experimental measurements of several observables in semileptonic B meson decays have pointed towards the possibility of new physics. The LHCb collaboration has reported a significant deviation, exceeding $3.2\sigma$, in the combined…
The BaBar Collaboration has recently reported the measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \tau^{-} \bar{\nu_\tau}$ to $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \ell^{-} \bar{\nu_\ell}$ which deviates from the Standard Model…
We study the Drell-Yan process mediated by a new bosonic resonance at the LHC. The bosons of spin-0, 1, and 2 with the most general leading-order couplings to Standard Model fermions and gluons are considered, which provide a…
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…
The Belle Collaboration has measured the complete set of angular coefficient functions for the decays ${\bar B} \to D^*\,(D\,\pi)\,\ell\,{\bar \nu}_{\ell}$, where $\ell = e,\,\mu$, in four bins of the variable $w={m_B^2+m_{D^*}^2-q^2 \over…
We investigate the possibility of indirectly constraining the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\tau^+\tau^-$ decay rate using precise data on the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\mu^+\mu^-$ dimuon spectrum. To this end, we estimate the distortion of the spectrum induced by…
We propose to perform a combined analysis of $B \to \pi\pi$ and $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ modes, in the framework of a global CKM fit. The method optimizes the constraining power of these decays and allows to derive constraints on NP contributions…
A method for determining the $q^2$ dependent $\bar{K}^{*0}$ spin amplitudes of $\bar{B}^{0}\to \bar{K}^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$ decays through a maximum likelihood fit to data is presented. While current experimental techniques extract a limited set…
Motivated by recent results by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations on the angular distribution of the $B \to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$ decay, we perform a state-of-the-art analysis of rare $B$ meson decays based on the $b \to s \mu \mu$ transition.…
We derive constraints on Wilson coefficients of dimension-six effective operators probing the b --> s transition, using recent improved measurements of the rare decays Bs --> mu+mu-, B --> K mu+mu- and B --> K* mu+mu- and including all…
We reconstruct the rare decays $B^+ \to K^+\mu^+\mu^-$, $B^0 \to K^{*}(892)^0\mu^+\mu^-$, and $B^0_s \to \phi(1020)\mu^+\mu^-$ in a data sample corresponding to $4.4 {\rm fb^{-1}}$ collected in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 {\rm…
The anomalously large experimentally measured ratios of the semitauonic decay $B\rightarrow D^{(*)} +\tau+\nu$ and the corresponding semileptonic $B\rightarrow D^{*} +\l+\bar{\nu}_l$ disagree with the predictions of the standard E.W + QCD…
The Belle-II experiment has recently measured $\mathcal{B}(B^+\to K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$, which appears to be almost $3\sigma$ larger than its Standard Model (SM) prediction. In this talk, I will critically revisit the status of the SM…
Current experimental information on the charm meson decay observables in which the $c\to s\ell\nu_\ell$ transitions occur is well compatible with the Standard Model predictions. Recent precise lattice calculations of the $D_s$ meson decay…
