Abstract The electroweak b → sll (l = e, µ) transition is a flavor-changing neutral current process that mediates through a one-loop penguin diagram. The decay is considered to be a good probe for the New Physics as particles predicted in the beyond Standard Model theories can enter into the loop. The exclusive decay B → K (*) l + l − was first observed by the Belle experiment and it provides many observables such as the branching fraction, CP asymmetry, forward-backward asymmetry, and other angular observables. Recently, the LHCb experiment has reported some clue of a lepton flavor universality violation from the branching fraction ratio of the B → Kµ + µ − and B → Ke + e − decays. In this presentation, we report the status of the B → Kl + l − decay analysis at the Belle II experiment which started the data taking in 2019. We also, present an activity at the Belle II Chulalongkorn University group where we study the B → KJ/ψ decay which has the same topology as the B → Kl + l − .

Abstract We perform global fits within Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) combining top-quark pair production processes and decay with b → s flavor changing neutral current transitions and Z → $$ b\overline{b} $$ b b ¯ in three stages: using existing data from the LHC and B-factories, using projections for the HL-LHC and Belle II, and studying the additional new physics impact from a future lepton collider. The latter is ideally suited to directly probe ℓ+ℓ− → $$ t\overline{t} $$ t t ¯ transitions. We observe powerful synergies in combining both top and beauty observables as flat directions are removed and more operators can be probed. We find that a future lepton collider significantly enhances this interplay and qualitatively improves global SMEFT fits.

This review discusses the present experimental and theoretical status of rare flavor-changing neutral current b-quark decays at the beginning of 2018. It includes a discussion of the experimental situation and details of the currently observed anomalies in measurements of flavor observables, including lepton flavor universality. Progress on the theory side within and beyond the Standard Model theory is also discussed, together with potential New Physics interpretations of the present measurements.

Motivated by the hints of lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays, we study Bd,s → μτ, Bs,d → τe, and τ– → e– + e+ + e– decays in [Formula: see text] model. These LFV decays present interesting patterns that may reveal the shape of new physics beyond the standard model. Considering the effect of both Z- and [Formula: see text]-mediated flavor-changing neutral current we calculate the branching ratios for these decays. We find the branching ratios [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text].

Abstract General flavor changing Goldstone boson (GB) interactions with fermions from a spontaneous global U(1)G symmetry breaking are discussed. This GB may be the Axion, solving the strong QCD CP problem, if there is a QCD anomaly for the assignments of quarks U(1)G charge. Or it may be the Majoron, producing seesaw Majorana neutrino masses by lepton number violation, if the symmetry breaking scale is much higher than the electroweak scale. It may also, in principle, play the roles of Axion and Majoron simultaneously as far as providing solution for the strong CP problem and generating a small Majorana neutrino masses are concerned. Great attentions have been focused on flavor conserving GB interactions. Recently flavor changing Axion and Majoron models have been studied in the hope to find new physics from rare decays in the intensity frontier. In this work, we will provide a systematic model building aspect study for flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) GB interactions in the fermion sectors, or separately in the quark, charged lepton and neutrino sectors and will identify in detail the sources of FCNC interactions in a class of beyond standard model with a spontaneous global U(1)G symmetry breaking. We also provide a general proof of the equivalence of using physical GB components and GB broken generators for calculating GB couplings to two gluons and two photons, and discuss some issues related to spontaneous CP violation models. Besides, we will also provide some details for obtaining FCNC GB interactions in several popular models, such as the Type-I, -II, -III seesaw and Left-Right symmetric models, and point out some special features in these models.

The observation of [Formula: see text] at present experiments would be a clear sign of new physics. In this paper, we calculate this process in an extended Higgs sector framework where the decay is mediated by the exchange of spin zero particle with flavor changing neutral current couplings. If we identify the scalar with the newly discovered state at LHC with a mass ~125 GeV then we find that, after imposing all experimental constraints, the [Formula: see text] can be as high as ~10-6 and [Formula: see text] can be as high as ~10-7. We also calculate this process in the minimal supersymmetric standard model and find the [Formula: see text] is typically of the order ~10-8.

We present a search for the flavor-changing neutral current decay Bs→ μ+μ-ϕ in [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text], using 91.4 pb-1 of data collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). We find two candicate events for this decay, which is consistent with the background estimate, and set a preliminary upper limit on the branching fraction of ℬ(Bs → μ+ μ-ϕ)<4.2 · 10-5 at a 90% confidence level.
