    Electroweak penguin b-hadron and c-hadron decays are very sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent LHCb measurements have shown indications of large unexpected asymmetries in Bโ†’K*ฮผฮผ and hints of lepton universality violation. Latest results involving new decay modes are presented.

    The Flavour Changing Neutral Current decay, B0 -> K*0 mu+mu-, is very sensitive to New Physics through its observables like A_FB (muon forward backward asymmetry), F_L (longitudinal polarisation of K*), and differential branching fraction. So far, these parameters are consistent with the Standard Model prediction. We will report the recent results from CMS on these parameters using the 20...

    The rare semileptonic B_d โ†’ Kโˆ—ฮผ+ฮผโˆ’ decay has been extensively studied within the Standard Model (SM) and beyond. In the last two releases, measurements provided by the LHCb experiment suggested a discrepancy found between the theoretical SM prediction and the experimental value of the angular observable Pโ€ฒ5 at low q^2. We critically reassess the theoretical uncertainties in the Standard...

    We investigate whether the $2.6\sigma$ deviation from lepton flavour universality in $B^+\to K^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays recently observed at the LHCb experiment can be explained in minimal composite Higgs models. We show that a visible departure from universality is indeed possible if left-handed muons have a sizable degree of compositeness. Constraints from $Z$-pole observables are avoided...

    Motivated by the $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ anomalies recently reported by the LHCb collaboration, I will present a class of flavored $\mathrm{U(1)}^\prime$ gauge extensions of the Standard Model that naturally accommodate them and present a rich phenomenology. This class of models is characterized by the presence of tree-level flavor-changing $Z'$ couplings in the down-quark sector, protected by...

    We will present new results on leptonic and radiative leptonic decays. Purely leptonic B meson decays, $B \to \ell \nu$, are helicity-suppressed in the Standard Model (SM), and while more challenging for the extraction of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, they are excellent probes of models beyond the SM. The decay $B \to \ell \nu\gamma$ is not affected by this suppression and gives access to...

    Large CP-violating asymmetry effects in the B+- --> K+- K+ K- decays have been predicted in the QCD factorization model [1]. The model includes strong K+ K- final-state long-distance interactions in the S-, P-, and also (in the recent analysis) D- wave two-body states. The S-wave two-body unitarity conditions involve interchannel couplings of the kaon-kaon states with the intermediate...

    Charmless decays of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons provide nice testing ground for the Standard Model (SM) and excellent probes for physics beyond the SM.

    The study of CP violation in the decay channel Bs->Jpsi Phi is very important to explore physics beyond Standard Model in the quark flavour sector. The measurements of Phi_s and the decay width difference (Delta Gamma_s) are key parameters to look for BSM physics. We will report the recent results on these parameters using the 20 fb-1 data set collected in 2012.

    The CKM angle $\beta$ ($\beta_s$) is one of the key $CP$-violation parameters in the SM. It is best determined by the mixing-induced $CP$ asymmetry in the decay $B_d\to J/\psi K_S$ ($B_s \to J/\psi \phi$). However, the theoretical precision of this determination has been under discussion for a long time and the estimated uncertainties ranged from negligible to sizable. The possible...

    In the time evolution of neutral meson systems, a perfect quantum coherence is usually assumed. The important quantities of the $B^0_d$ system, such as $\sin 2 \beta$ and $\Delta m_d$, are determined under this assumption. However, the meson system interacts with its environment. This interaction can lead to decoherence in the entangled mesons even before they decay. In our formalism this...

    The asymmetry between same sign inclusive dilepton samples (l^+l^+ and l^-l^-) from semileptonic B decays in Upsilon(4S) -> B0 B0bar events allows us to compare the B0 mixing probabilities P(B0bar -> B0) and P(B0 -> B0bar), and hence to test T and CP invariance.

    Lepton flavour violation (LFV) is currently one of the most exciting branches of particle physics. The flavour violating process of the neutrinoless decay of a positive muon to a positron and a gamma is strongly suppressed in the Standard Model, hence it is a very sensitive probe of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The MEG experiment searches for this process at the Paul Scherrer...

    The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab will search for coherent, neutrinoless conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus with a sensitivity improvement of a factor of 10,000 over previous experiments. Such a lepton flavor-violating reaction probes new physics at a scale inaccessible with direct searches at either present or planned high energy colliders. The experiment...

    The COMET Experiment at J-PARC aims to search for the lepton-flavour violating (LFV) process of muon to electron conversion in a muonic atom, $\mu^{-}N \rightarrow \mathrm{e}^{-}N$, with a branching-ratio sensitivity of $6 \times 10^{โˆ’17}$, which is 4 orders of magnitude better than the present upper limit. Complemental searches for two kinds of muon LFV decay modes,...

    The anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon can be both measured and computed to very high precision, making it a powerful probe to test the standard model and search for new physics such as SUSY. The previous measurement by the Brookhaven E821 experiment found a ~3 standard deviation discrepancy from the predicted value. The new g-2 experiment at Fermilab will improve the precision by a...

    We present measurements of the branching fraction for the radiative tau leptonic decays: tau -> gamma l nu nubar, where the lepton is either a muon or an electron.ย  The results are obtained from an analysis of the complete BABAR data-set consisting of 430 million tau-lepton pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 468 fb^-1, collected at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e+e- collider at SLAC.

    The angle ฮณ is the least constrained parameter in the CKM unitarity triangle. Its determination in decays induced by tree-level bโ†’c and bโ†’u transitions is largely unaffected by potential new physics contributions. This allows for a consistency check of the unitarity triangle, but also of comparisons with ฮณ determinations from modes with loop-diagrams. LHCb' ฮณ combination for CKM 2014 already...

    During the last 15 years, B-physics facilities have been giving enormous contributions to the consolidation of the Standard Model (SM) in the flavour sector. New analyses flowing from the LHC experiments, in particular LHCb, are now providing unprecedented insights into CKM metrology and new evidences for rare decays. The CKM picture can be tested with great precision, and very precise SM...

    The LHC is entering into operation with an increased centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and within the next 3 years of operations (Run2) the foreseen integrated luminosity delivered to CMS will be about 100 fb-1. The B hadron production cross section is expected to nearly double at this energy compared to Run1, thus potentially increasing by almost one order of magnitude the collected statistics...

    Permanent Electric Dipole Moments (EDM) of non-degenerate systems, e.g., leptons (electron, muon, tau) and hadrons (neutron, proton), provide a unique opportunity to search for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Since EDMs violate P-, T-, and (via CPT) CP-symmetry they may also provide a solution to one of the biggest puzzles of contemporary physics and cosmology, i.e., the apparent...
