We study rare decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in NSIs. We calculate the NSIs branching ratios of these decays. There is a strong dependence of these on new physics parameter. We include second and third generation of quarks in the loop for these decays. We show that these provide stringent constraints on [Formula: see text], where Q = u, c, t, and [Formula: see text], where q = d, s, b. It is also pointed out that [Formula: see text] for α, β = e, μ.

We study the rare decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the search of NSIs. We want to constrain the NSIs by using these reactions. We show that there is a strong dependence of these reactions on new physics free parameter [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. We include second and third generation of quarks in the loop for these decays. We show that the [Formula: see text] is providing very precise bounds as compared to all other semileptonic decays, having neutrinos in their final state. We further show that the interference between standard model and NSIs is giving dominant contribution for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We point out that the constraints for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are more precise as compared to [Formula: see text]. The analysis of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], provide us that the [Formula: see text]-quark induced Br of NSIs are giving very small contribution. We also compare these decays to the decays of charm and kaons having neutrinos in the final state.

The large number of [Formula: see text] events that will be produced at LHC, will allow very precise measurements of the properties of the top quark, which may also reveal New Physics. The mass of the top quark will be measured with a precision of about one GeV. Rare decays of the top quark can be probed for branching ratios as small as 10-4. Finally, the detailed study of three different mechanisms of electroweak single top production will allow precise measurements of the CKM matrix element Vtb.

The rare decays [Formula: see text] are important to probe the flavor sector of the standard model and to search new physics beyond the SM. Unlike pseudoscalar [Formula: see text] meson, the leptonic decays of vector [Formula: see text] mesons are not chirally suppressed which compensates for their short lifetimes, and results in significant branching ratios. In this paper, we estimate the branching ratios of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] rare decays in [Formula: see text] model which is an extension of the SM with an extra [Formula: see text] gauge symmetry. We find that the branching ratios are increased from their corresponding standard model values and vary with the mass of [Formula: see text] boson. The lower the mass of [Formula: see text] boson, the higher is the branching ratio.

Abstract In this paper we consider the decay D+ → π+ℓ+ℓ−, addressing in particular the resonance contributions as well as the relatively large contributions from the weak annihilation diagrams. For the weak annihilation diagrams we include known results from QCD factorisation at low q2 and at high q2, adapting the existing calculation for B decays in the Operator Product Expansion. The hadronic resonance contributions are obtained through a dispersion relation, modelling the spectral functions as towers of Regge-like resonances in each channel, as suggested by Shifman, imposing the partonic behaviour in the deep Euclidean. The parameters of the model are extracted using e+e− → (hadrons) and τ → (hadrons) + ντ data as well as the branching ratios for the resonant decays D+ → π+R(R → ℓ+ℓ−), with R = ρ, ω, and ϕ. We perform a thorough error analysis, and present our results for the Standard Model differential branching ratio as a function of q2. Focusing then on the observables FH and AFB, we consider the sensitivity of this channel to effects of physics beyond the Standard Model, both in a model independent way and for the case of leptoquarks.

Abstract Recently the RBC-UKQCD lattice QCD collaboration presented new results for the hadronic matrix elements relevant for the ratio ε′/ε in the Standard Model (SM) albeit with significant uncertainties. With the present knowledge of the Wilson coefficients and isospin breaking effects there is still a sizable room left for new physics (NP) contributions to ε′/ε which could both enhance or suppress this ratio to agree with the data. The new SM value for the K0 − $$ {\overline{K}}^0 $$ K ¯ 0 mass difference ∆MK from RBC-UKQCD is on the other hand by 2σ above the data hinting for NP required to suppress ∆MK. Simultaneously the most recent results for K+ → $$ {\pi}^{+}\nu \overline{\nu} $$ π + ν ν ¯ from NA62 and for KL → $$ {\pi}^0\nu \overline{\nu} $$ π 0 ν ν ¯ from KOTO still allow for significant NP contributions. We point out that the suppression of ∆MK by NP requires the presence of new CP-violating phases with interesting implications for K → $$ \pi \nu \overline{\nu} $$ πν ν ¯ , KS → μ+μ− and KL → π0ℓ+ℓ− decays. Considering a Z′-scenario within the SMEFT we analyze the dependence of all these observables on the size of NP still allowed by the data on ε′/ε. The hinted ∆MK anomaly together with the εK constraint implies in the presence of only left-handed (LH) or right-handed (RH) flavour-violating Z′ couplings strict correlation between K+ → $$ {\pi}^{+}\nu \overline{\nu} $$ π + ν ν ¯ and KL → $$ {\pi}^0\nu \overline{\nu} $$ π 0 ν ν ¯ branching ratios so that they are either simultaneously enhanced or suppressed relative to SM predictions. An anticorrelation can only be obtained in the presence of both LH and RH couplings. Interestingly, the NP QCD penguin scenario for ε′/ε is excluded by SMEFT renormalization group effects in εK so that NP effects in ε′/ε are governed by electroweak penguins. We also investigate for the first time whether the presence of a heavy Z′ with flavour violating couplings could generate through top Yukawa renormalization group effects FCNCs mediated by the SM Z-boson. The outcome turns out to be very interesting.

We review the status of rare decays and CP violation in extensions of the Standard Model. We analyze the determination of the unitarity triangle and the model-independent constraints on new physics that can be derived from this analysis. We find stringent bounds on new contributions to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mixing, pointing either to models of minimal flavour violation or to models with new sources of flavour and CP violation in b → s transitions. We discuss the status of the universal unitarity triangle in minimal flavour violation, and study rare decays in this class of models. We then turn to supersymmetric models with nontrivial mixing between second and third generation squarks, discuss the present constraints on this mixing and analyze the possible effects on CP violation in b → s nonleptonic decays and on [Formula: see text] mixing. We conclude presenting an outlook on Lepton-Photon 2009.

We investigate the nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) in the rare decays of [Formula: see text] mesons involving neutrinos in the final state. It is suggested that the interference between Standard Model and nonstandard interaction can provide sizeable contribution. We calculate the limits on NSI free parameters ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) and compare them with experimental data.
