General expressions for one-loop contributions associated with lepton-flavor violating decays of the standard model-like Higgs boson $h\to e_b^\pm e_a^\mp$ and gauge boson $Z\to e^\pm_b e_a^\mp$ are introduced in the unitary gauge. The…

The 3-3-1 model, based on the gauge group $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$, makes a natural prediction of three generations based on anomaly cancellation. Since this is accomplished by incorporating the third family of quarks…

In this paper we present two searches for new physics in Upsilon(3S) decays collected by the BABAR detector. We search for charged lepton-flavour violating decays of the Upsilon(3S), which are unobservable in the Standard Model but are…

We consider extensions of the Standard Model with an extra U(1) gauge boson which couples to B-(alpha L_e + beta L_mu + gamma L_tau) with alpha + beta + gamma = 3. We show that the extra gauge boson necessarily mixes with the Z leading to…

Charged lepton flavor violation is an unambiguous signature for New Physics. Here we present a summary of the theoretical and experimental status of the search for charged lepton flavor violation in heavy particle decays, in particular in…

We present recent results from the BaBar collaboration in several areas of research. These include searches for new physics via measurements of radiative-penguin B decays, lepton-number and lepton-flavor violations in B decays, and CP…

We address the recent anomalies in semi-leptonic $B$-meson decays using a model of fermion masses based on the $U(2)$ flavor symmetry. The new contributions to $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions arise due to a tree-level exchange of a…

Standard Model may allow an extended gauge sector with anomaly-free flavored gauge symmetries, such as $L_{i} - L_{j}$, $B_{i} - L_{j}$, and $B - 3L_{i}$, where $i,j=1,2,3$ are flavor indices. We investigate phenomenological implications of…

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a signal for a new resonance in the $D_s^+ \pi^\pm$ invariant mass distribution in the decays $B\to \bar{D}^{(*)} D_s^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ (arXiv:2411.03399). This could be a direct observation of an…

In the Standard Model (SM), the coupling of the electroweak gauge bosons to the leptons is lepton flavour universal. Tests of this property constitute sensitive probes for new physics models that violate lepton flavour universality. Recent…

Recent anomalies in $B\to K^{(*)}\ell\ell$ meson decays are consistent with exchange of a heavy $Z'$ vector boson. Here we try to connect such new physics to understanding the origin of flavor, by gauging generation number. Phenomenological…

The possibility to discriminate between different operators contributing to lepton flavour violating tau decays is discussed within an effective field theory framework. Correlations among decay rates in different channels as well as…

I review the recent theoretical progress on the study of tree-level semileptonic $b\to c$ decays. After briefly reviewing the latest developments on the exclusive determinations of $|V_{cb}|$, I discuss the hints on lepton flavor…

We construct a model of quark-lepton unification at the TeV scale based on an $SU(4)$ gauge symmetry, while still having acceptable neutrino masses and enough suppression in flavor changing neutral currents. An approximate $U(2)$ flavor…

A large number of new experimental data on $B$ decay into two light pesudoscalar ($P$) mesons have been collected by the LHCb collaboration. Besides confirming information on $B_{u,d} \to PP$ decays obtained earlier by B-factories at KEK…

There is current interest in a possible new massive gauge boson $X$ which mixes slightly with the $Z$ boson and accounts for certain anomalies in the LEP data. We show why constraints on models in which the $X$ boson does not couple to the…

The very rare Bd0 --> mu+ mu- decay may be the last chance for New Physics in flavor sector at the LHC, before the 13 TeV run in 2015. Partially motivated by the known tension in sin(2beta/phi_1), enhancement beyond (3-4) x 10^-10 would…

We examine the possibility of using rare, 3-body decays of a new neutral gauge boson, \ztwo, to probe its gauge couplings at hadron colliders. Specifically, we study the decays $\ztwo\to W\ell\nu$ and $\ztwo\to Z\nu\bar\nu$ and find that…

In these proceedings we review the impact of additional Higgs bosons on $B$ physics observables. For this purpose, we consider first the 2HDM of type II which respects natural flavour conservation. Afterwards, we study a 2HDM with generic…

These proceedings review the status of New Physics contributions to flavour violating $B$ decays. The anomalies in charged and neutral current $B$ decays related to lepton flavour universality violation have received a substantial amount of…
