Using the low energy effective Hamiltonian with the generalized factorization, we calculate the new physics contributions to B→π+π-, Kπ and Kη′ in the topcolor-assisted-technicolor (TC2) model, and compare the results with the available data. By using [Formula: see text] preferred by the CLEO data of B→π+π-decay, we find that the new physics enhancements to B→ Kη′ decays are significant in size, ~ 50% with respect to the standard model predictions, insensitive to the variations of input parameters and hence provide a simple and plausible new physics interpretation for the observed unexpectedly large B→ Kη′ decay rates.

We study the exclusive decays of B → K* ℓ+ ℓ- within the framework of the PQCD. We obtain the form factors for the B → K* transition in the large recoil region, where the PQCD for heavy B meson decays is reliable. We find that the form factors at q2 = 0 are consistent with those from the large energy effective theory combined with the heavy quark effective theory and the experiment of B → K*γ. Via the decay chain of B → K* (Kπ) ℓ+ ℓ-, we can study many physical observables which are related to the different helicity combinations of B → K* ℓ+ ℓ-, such as the forward-backward asymmetries (FBAs). In particular, we can study the T violating effect which is small in the standard model but can be up to 10% in models with new physics.

Lepton Flavour

The LHCb collaboration has provided a plethora of precise measurements of flavour observables in the last years. In the B meson sector some of these results show consistent deviations from Standard Model predictions with a clear tendency to specific New Physics scenarios. B decay anomalies are found in particular related to lepton flavour universality tests and angular observables in Flavour-Changing-Neutral-Current transitions. I review here the LHCb measurements and their experimental caveats. Results from Lattice are crucial in the coming years to verify if these anomalies are explained by QCD effects or if they are unambiguous hints of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Recently, the deviation of the ratios [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been found between experimental data and the Standard Model predictions, which may be the hint of new physics. In this work, we calculate these ratios within the Standard Model by using the improved instantaneous Bethe–Salpeter method. The emphasis is pad to the relativistic correction of the form factors. The results are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], which are consistent with predictions of other models and the experimental data. The semileptonic decay rates and corresponding form factors at zero recoil are also given.

Lepton Flavour

Flavour anomalies have attracted a lot of attention over recent years as they provide unique hints for possible New Physics. Here, we consider a supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the Standard Model (SM) with an additional anomaly-free gauge U(1) group. The key feature of our model is the particular choice of non-universal charges to the gauge boson Z′, which not only allows a relaxation of the flavour discrepancies but, contrary to previous studies, can reproduce the SM mixing matrices both in the quark and lepton sectors. We pay special attention to the latter and explicitly enumerate all parameters relevant for our calculation in the low-energy effective theory. We find regions in the parameter space that satisfy experimental constraints on meson mixing and LHC Z′ searches and can alleviate the flavour anomalies. In addition, we also discuss the predictions for lepton-flavour violating decays B+→K+μτ and B+→K+eτ.

We analyze LEP and SLC data from the 1995 Summer Conferences as well as from low energy neutral current experiments for signals of new physics. The reasons for doing this are twofold: first to explain the deviations from the Standard Model observed in Rb and Rc and second to constrain nonstandard contributions to couplings of the Z0 boson to all fermions and to the oblique parameters. We do so by comparing the data with the Standard Model as well as with a number of test hypotheses concerning the nature of the new physics. These include nonstandard [Formula: see text]-, [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-couplings as well as the couplings of the Z0 to fermions of the entire first, second and third generations and universal corrections to all up- and down-type quark couplings (as can arise see for example in Z' mixing models). We find that nonstandard [Formula: see text] couplings are both necessary and sufficient to explain the data and in particular the Rb anomaly. It is not possible to explain Rb, Rc and a value of the strong coupling constant consistent with low energy determinations invoking only nonstandard [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-couplings. To do so one has to have also new physics contributions to the [Formula: see text] or universal corrections to all [Formula: see text] couplings.

Cp Asymmetries

The standard model predictions for CP violating hadronic decay asymmetries are presented in the form of probability distributions. From these distributions, it can be easily seen what the most likely values of these quantities are, which measurements would clearly be signs of new physics, and which values of the CP asymmetries would most constrain the parameters of the standard model.

Model Predictions

CP violation in charm decays is expected to be very small in the Standard Model, at the level of 0.1% or less. A sizable excess of CP violation with respect to the Standard Model predictions could be a signature of new physics. We report on recent searches for CP violation in charm meson decays at BABAR and Belle experiments. In particular we report a lifetime ratio analysis of D0 → K+K−, π+π− with respect to D0 → K−π+ decays, which is sensitive to [Formula: see text] mixing and CP violation. We report also on searches for CPV in the 3-body D+ → K+K−π+ decay and for decay modes with a [Formula: see text] in the final state, such as [Formula: see text].

The One

The value of αs (Mz) emerging from the so-called global fits based mainly on the data at the Z peak (and assuming the standard model) is three standard deviations higher than the one stemming from the low-energy phenomenology. The corresponding value of Λ QCD is very large, ~500 MeV, and is incompatible with crucial features of QCD. If persists, the discrepancy should be interpreted as due to contributions to the Z-quark-antiquark vertices which go beyond the standard model.

AbstractInspired by the recent hints of lepton flavor universality violation in $$b\rightarrow s\ell \ell $$b→sℓℓ and $$b\rightarrow c\ell \nu $$b→cℓν transitions, we study lepton flavor violating exclusive $$\Lambda _b\rightarrow \Lambda \ell _1^+\ell _2^-$$Λb→Λℓ1+ℓ2- ($$\ell _1\ne \ell _2$$ℓ1≠ℓ2) decay, which is forbidden in the Standard Model. Starting from a general effective Hamiltonian for a $$b\rightarrow s\ell _1^+\ell _2^-$$b→sℓ1+ℓ2- transition that includes vector and axial-vector operators, and scalar and pseudo-scalar operators, we derive a two-fold decay distribution of $$\Lambda _b\rightarrow \Lambda \ell _1^+\ell _2^-$$Λb→Λℓ1+ℓ2-. The distribution helps us to construct the differential branching ratio and the lepton-side forward–backward asymmetry, which are studied in a vector leptoquark model. The parameter space of the vector leptoquark model is constrained by low energy observables.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is very successful but does not explain several experimental observations. Extensions of it, invoking new particles or phenomena, could overcome this. Experiments in different energy domains allow testing these extensions and searching for new particles. Here focus is on low-energy experiments with neutrons and radioactive nuclei.
