Exclusive hadronic B-meson decays into two-body final states consisting of a light pseudoscalar or vector meson along with an eta or eta' meson are of great phenomenological interest. Their theoretical analysis involves decay mechanisms…
We discuss a model in which the third generation fermions undergo a different $SU(2)$ weak interaction from the first two generation fermions. In general, a flavor changing neutral current interaction is expected. Constrained by the…
Present measurements of b->c tau nu and b->u tau nu transitions differ from the standard model predictions of lepton flavor universality by almost 4sigma. We examine new physics interpretations of this anomaly. An effective field theory…
Two types of predictions for charmless B decays are compared. One involves estimates based on factorization and models for form factors, while the other involves the use of flavor SU(3), sometimes with assumptions about the smallness of…
It is emphasized that a rare decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ becomes promising in a future search for a new particle, because the theoretical treatment is well established and the value of the branching ratio $Br(K^+ \rightarrow…
In this paper, the lepton flavor violating $\tau\to \ell P(V)$ ($P,V= \pi^0, \eta, \eta^{\prime}, \rho^0, \omega, \phi$) and $\tau\to 3\ell$ ($\ell = e, \mu$) decays are studied in the framework of the type-III seesaw model, in which new…
Z' bosons that couple preferentially to the third generation fermions can arise in models with extended weak (SU(2)xSU(2)) or hypercharge (U(1)xU(1)) gauge groups. We show that existing limits on quark-lepton compositeness set by the LEP…
We study the decays of $B_{(s)}$ mesons into light pseudoscalar mesons under the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetry. Assuming exact $SU(3)$ symmetry at the level of the amplitudes leads to a simple parameterization. Using the available experimental…
The $B$ meson semileptonic modes to $\rho(770)$ and $a_1 (1260)$ are useful to pin down possible non Standard Model effects. The 4d differential $\bar B \to \rho(\pi \pi) \ell^- \bar \nu_\ell$ and $ \bar B \to a_1 (\rho \pi) \ell^- \bar…
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…
New physics effects in $B$ decays are routinely modeled through operators invariant under the strong and electromagnetic gauge symmetries. Assuming the scale for new physics is well above the electro-weak scale, we further require…
Recent measurements of exclusive $B^{-} \to \tau^{-}\,\nu$ and $B^0 \to \pi^{+}\,l^{-}\,\bar{\nu}_l$ decays via the $b \to u\,l\,\nu$ transition process differ from the standard model expectation and, if they persist in future $B$…
Rare decay modes of the newly discovered standard-model-like Higgs boson $h$ may test the flavor changing couplings in the leptoquark sector through the process $h \to \tau^\mp\mu^\pm$. Motived by the recently reported excess in LHC data…
The anomalous results of recent measurements on various $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ processes could be initial evidence of physics beyond the standard model (SM). Assuming this to be the case, we entertain the possibility that the underlying new…
The decays of $B$ mesons to charmless final states consisting of a vector meson ($V$) and a pseudoscalar meson ($P$) are analyzed within flavor SU(3). Predictions are compared with new data from the CLEO Collaboration. Dominant…
The observation by the CLEO Collaboration of the decays $B^{(+,0)} \to K^{(+,0)} \eta'$ is shown to imply a significant but still uncertain contribution from the flavor-SU(3)-singlet component of the $\eta'$. By comparing the rate for these…
Spontaneous breaking of inter-family (horizontal) gauge symmetries can be at the origin of the mass hierarchy between the fermion families. The corresponding gauge bosons have flavor-nondiagonal couplings which generically induce the…
Phenomenological aspects of flavor changing processes are considered in the context of the supergravity model.Various flavor changing neutral current processes in B and K decays are calculated in such models. For lepton flavor violating…
The increasing number of flavour anomalies motivates the investigation of new processes where tensions similar to the observed ones may emerge. It is necessary to identify observables sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. The…
There are several anomalous measurements in the decays induced by the quark level transition $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$, which do not agree with the predictions of the Standard Model. These measurements could be considered as signatures of…
