We search for the rare decays Bs to mu+mu- and D+ to pi+ mu+ mu- using a
large data set of proton-antiproton collisions recorded by the Dzero detector
operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. These modes are expected to
have sizeable enhancements above the Standard Model rate due to new
physics. The Bs annihilation rate is expected to have orders of magnitude
enhancement in...

We present the current status of rare B decay searches B0(s) --> mu+
mu-, B0 --> mu+ mu-, B+ --> K+ mu+ mu-, B0 --> K*0 mu+ mu-, B0(s) -->
phi mu+ mu-, and a search for D0 -> mu mu as well as other rare B and D
decay modes at CDF operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.

The Bs->J/psi phi decay allows to study many properties of the Bs
system, such as the difference between the widths of the two weak
eigenstates or the CP-violating phase phi_s, and these parameters can
show significant deviations due to contributions from non-SM
processes. The prospects of the measurement of the width difference
with the CMS and the ATLAS detector at the LHC will be presented.

The LHCb experiment will search for New Physics in Bs -> mumu decays using the data collected during the very first physics run of LHC, with a 90% CL exclusion sensitivity down to the SM prediction. The latest expectations, based on MC studies with fully simulated events, will be presented. The LHCb sensitivity to other rare and radiative B decays will also be reviewed.

The possibility to constrain the MSSM parameter space using the rare K decays
K --> pi nu nubar and KL --> pi0 l+ l- will be illustrated. Particular emphasis will
be set on the information one can get from the pattern of deviation the four
modes could exhibit with respect to the SM. Specific scenarios considered are,
within the MSSM, large and moderate tan(beta), as well as the minimal...

The breaking of a Flavour symmetry can explain the observed hierarchy
of masses and mixings of the SM fermions. In a supergravity-mediation
mechanism of the SUSY breaking, we can expect the soft masses to
receive non-universal contributions from the breaking of this flavour
symmetry at a high scale. We analyse the effects of these
non-universal soft-terms at low energies both in collider...
