We present one-loop formulas for the decay of CP-odd Higgs $A^0 \rightarrow \ell \bar{\ell} V$ with $\ell \equiv e, μ$ and $V\equiv γ, Z$ in Higgs Extensions of the Standard Model, considering two higgs doublet model with a complex (and real) scalar, two higgs doublet model as well as triplet higgs model. Analytic results for one-loop amplitudes are expressed in terms of Passarino-Veltman functions following the standard notations of {\tt LoopTools}. As a result, physical results can be generated numerically by using the package. In phenomenological results, the total decay widths and the differential decay rates with respect to the invariant mass of lepton pair are analyzed for two typical models such as two higgs doublet model and triplet higgs model.
In this paper we shall focus on the effects of concrete models such as SM and Model III of 2HDM on the polarized and unpolarized forward-backward asymmetries of $\overline{B}\rightarrow \overline{K}_0^{*}(1430) \ell^+\ell^-$ and $\overline{B}\rightarrow \overline{K} \ell^+\ell^-$ decays. The obtained results of these decay modes are compared to each other. Also, we obtain the minimum required number of events for detecting each asymmetry and compare them with the number of produced $B\bar{B}$ pairs at the LHC or supposed to be produced at the Super-LHC. At the end, we conclude that the study o…
We obtain a lower limit on the compactification scale of extra dimension via comparison of the branching ratio in the baryonic $Λ_b\rightarrow Λμ^+ μ^-$ decay channel recently measured by CDF collaboration and our previous theoretical study. We also use the newly available form factors calculated via light cone QCD sum rules in full theory to analyze the flavour changing neutral current process of the $Σ_b \rightarrow Σ\ell^+ \ell^-$ in universal extra dimension scenario in the presence of a single extra compact dimension. We calculate various physical quantities like branching ratio, forward-…
One of the possible modes suggested for detecting the Higgs particle is $pp\rightarrow ZZ\rightarrow\ell^+\ell^-ν\barν$, where the Higgs appears as a resonance on a Jacobian background. Unfortunately there are QCD background processes which mimic the final state and we are obliged to impose stringent kinematic cuts to remove them. However, in doing so we also remove a significant fraction of the signal. In this report we suggest a method, based on examining the distribution of the final state charged leptons, which could allow us to relax our cuts and thus salvage the signal.
We evaluate the feasibility of measuring the $Z$ polarization from a heavy Higgs signal in the decay channel $H\rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^-ν\barν$. Including gluon fusion production of the Higgs, continuum production of $Z$ pairs and the QCD background of single $Z$ production with a missing jet, we find that the average value of a new variable to measure the $Z$ polarization, as a function of transverse mass, will demonstrate the existence of a Higgs boson for heavy Higgs masses up to 800 GeV at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 10$^5$ pb$^{-1}$.
Weak vector boson scattering (VBS) at the LHC provides an excellent source of information on the structure of quartic gauge couplings and possible effects of physics beyond the SM in electroweak symmetry breaking. Parameterizing deviations from the SM within an effective field theory at tree level, the dimension-8 operators, which are needed for sufficiently general modeling, lead to unphysical enhancements of cross sections within the accessible energy range of the LHC. Preservation of unitarity limits is needed for phenomenological studies of the $VVjj$ events which signify VBS. Here we deve…
Bardeen-Buras-Gérard have proposed a large N$_c$ method to evaluate hadronic weak matrix elements to attack for instance the determination of the $ΔI= \frac{1}{2}$-rule and $\mathrm{Re}(\frac{ε'}ε)$. Here we test this method to the determination of the form factor parameters $a_+$ and $b_+$ in the decays $K^+ \rightarrow π^+ \ell^+ \ell^- $ and $K_S \rightarrow π^0 \ell^+ \ell^-$. The results are encouraging: in particular after a complete treatment of Vector Meson Dominance (VMD).
Adding a scalar singlet provides one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model. In this work we briefly review the latest constraints on the mass and mixing of the new Higgs boson and study its production and decay at the LHC. We mainly focus on double Higgs production in the $hh \rightarrow b \bar{b} WW \rightarrow b \bar{b} \ell^+ ν\ell^- \barν$ decay channel. This decay is found to be efficient in a region of masses of the heavy Higgs boson of 260 - 500 GeV, so it is complementary to the 4$b$ channel, more efficient for Higgs bosons having masses greater than 500 GeV. We analyse this…
We analyze the semileptonic $ B_{s} \rightarrow D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\bar{ν}_{\ell}$ transition, where $\ell=τ,~μ$ or $e$, within the standard model. We apply the QCD sum rule approach to calculate the transition form factors entering the low energy Hamiltonian defining this channel. The fit functions of the form factors are used to estimate the total decay widths and branching fractions in all lepton channels. The orders of branching ratios indicate that this transition is accessible at LHCb in near future.
The observation of anomalies in the charged current $b\rightarrow c\bar{\ell}ν_{\ell}$ transitions hints the possibility of the existence of new physics beyond the standard model. Inspired by the work done in the beauty quark sector, we explore new physics in the charm quark sector with $c \rightarrow (s,d)\bar{\ell}ν_{\ell}$ charged current transitions. We analyze the decay modes $D_{(s)}^+ \to η^{(')} \bar{\ell} ν_{\ell}$ within an effective Lagrangian framework which includes both standard model and new physics contributions. We use the available experimental measurements of the semileptoni…
We examine the parameter space of supersymmetric models with $R$-parity violating interactions of the form $λ' L Q D^c$ to explain the various anomalies observed in $b \rightarrow s \ell \ell$ transitions. To generate the appropriate operator in the low energy theory, we are led to a region of parameter space where loop contributions dominate. In particular, we concentrate on parameters for which diagrams involving winos, which have not been previously considered, give large contributions. Many different potentially constraining processes are analyzed, including $τ\rightarrow μμμ$, $B_s-\bar{B…
In rare $B$ meson decays $B\rightarrow K \ell^+ \ell^-$, a possible contribution of $\ell^+\ell^-$ emission via photon from the "spectator" quark $q$ ($q=u,d$) in the $B$ meson $(q\bar{b})$ is investigated in addition to the conventional one $\bar{b} \rightarrow \bar{s} +γ\rightarrow \bar{s}+\ell^+ + \ell^-$. If such a contribution is sizable compared with the standard estimation of $B\rightarrow K \ell^+ \ell^-$, we will observe visible difference between $d Γ(B^0\rightarrow K^0 \ell^+ \ell^-)/d q^2$ and $d Γ(B^+\rightarrow K^+ \ell^+ \ell^-)/d q^2$ in $q^2$ dependence ($q^2 \equiv m_{\ell\el…
The rare semileptonic $B_c \rightarrow D_{s,d}\, \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays are studied in the universal extra dimension with a single extra dimension scenario. The sensitivity of differential and total branching ratios, polarization asymmetries of final state leptons to the compactification parameter is presented, both for muon and tau decay channels. Comparing with the standard model, the obtained results indicate that there are new contributions to the physical observables. Considering the ability of available experiments, it would be useful to study these effects.
In this paper we analyze the dilepton mass square $q^2$ dependency of single lepton polarization asymmetries and CP violation for $\overline{B}\rightarrow \overline{K}_0^{*}(1430) \ell^+\ell^-, \ell=μ,τ)$ in the 2HDM context. Also, we study the averages of these asymmetries in the domain $4 m_{\ell}^2<q^2< (m_B-m_{{K}_0^{*}})^2$. Our study manifests that the investigation of the above-mentioned asymmetries for $\overline{B}\rightarrow \overline{K}_0^*(1430) \ell^+\ell^-$ processes could provide useful information for probing new Higgs bosons in the future B-physics experiments.
Inspired by the recent experimental results which show deviations from the standard model (SM) predictions of $b\rightarrow s \ell^+\ell^-$ transitions, we study the $R$-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (RPV-MSSM) extended by the inverse seesaw mechanism. The trilinear $R$-parity violating terms, together with the chiral mixing of sneutrinos, induce the loop contributions to the $b\rightarrow s \ell^+\ell^-$ anomaly. We study the parameter space of the single-parameter scenario $C^{\rm NP}_{9,μ}=-C^{\rm NP}_{10,μ}=C_{\rm V}$ and the double-parameter scenario $(C_{\rm V},C…
Using form factors enrolled to the transition matrix elements and calculated via light-cone QCD sum rules including next-to-leading order corrections in the strong coupling constant, we provide a systematic analysis of the $ B_s\rightarrow f_0 (980)\ell^+\ell^- $ both in the standard and universal extra dimension models. In particular, we discuss sensitivity of the differential branching ratio and various double lepton polarization asymmetries on the compactification factor of extra dimension and show how the results of the extra dimension model deviate from the standard model predictions. The…
Double polarized forward-backward asymmetries in $B\rightarrow K_{1}(1270,1400)\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ with $\ell=μ, τ$ decays are studied, using most general non-standard local four-fermi interactions, where the mass eigenstates $K_{1}(1270)$ and $K_{1}(1400)$ are the mixture of $^{1}{P}_{1}$ and $^{3}{P}_{1}$ states with the mixing angle $θ_{K}$. We have calculated the expressions of nine doubly polarized forward-backward asymmetries and it is presented that the polarized lepton pair forward-backward asymmetries are greatly influenced by the new physics. Therefore, these asymmetries are interestin…
This paper considers the implications of the heavy quark and chiral symmetries for the semi-leptonic decay $B \rightarrow D^* X \ell \bar ν_\ell$. The general kinematic analysis for decays of the form {\sl pseudoscalar meson $\rightarrow$ vector meson $+$ pseudoscalar meson $+$ lepton $+$ anti-lepton} is presented. This formalism is applied to the above exclusive decay which allows the differential decay rate to be expressed in a form that is ideally suited for the experimental determination of the different form factors for the process through angular distribution measurements. Heavy quark an…
We discuss on the search for the right-handed weak interaction effects in the SU(2)$_L \times$SU(2)$_R$ model with lepton doublets $(ν_\ell, \ell^-)_L$ and $(N_\ell, \ell^-)_R$ ($\ell = e, μ, τ)$. We will point out that only the chance of the observation of the right-handed weak interaction effect will be in the rare decay $K^+ \rightarrow π^- μ^+ μ^+$.
We fit the unfolded data of $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow D^{*+} \ell \overlineν$ from the Belle experiment, where $\ell \equiv e, μ$, using a method independent of heavy quark symmetry to extrapolate to zero-recoil and extract the value of $|V_{cb}|$. This results in $|V_{cb}| = (41.9^{~+2.0}_{~-1.9})\times 10^{-3}$, which is robust to changes in the theoretical inputs and very consistent with the value extracted from inclusive semileptonic $B$ decays.
A new particle of mass around 125 GeV is known to have loop induced couplings to $gg$ and $γγ$. More specific to the Higgs interpretation are tree level couplings to $W$ and $Z$. A small but clean signal of the Higgs coupling to $W$ arises from associated production of a Higgs, with $H\rightarrowγγ$. We consider this signal in light of a large NLO enhancement of the irreducible background.
We comparatively analyze the flavor changing neutral current process of the $Λ_b \rightarrow Λ\ell^+ \ell^-$ in the standard model as well as topcolor-assisted technicolor model using the form factors calculated via light cone QCD sum rules in full theory. In particular, we calculate the decay width, branching ratio and lepton forward-backward asymmetry related to this decay channel. We compare the results of the topcolor-assisted technicolor model with those of the standard model and debate how the results of the topcolor-assisted technicolor model depart from the standard model predictions. …
We propose a new search for Dark Matter at the LHC, characteristic of scenarios beyond the Standard Model with a pseudoscalar portal between the visible and dark sectors. This search, leading to a $\bar{b} b Z( \rightarrow \ell\ell) + E_{T} \hspace{-4mm}/\hspace{2mm}$ final state, reaches large regions of parameter space not probed by Dark Matter searches via multi-jet $+ E_{T} \hspace{-4mm}/\hspace{2mm}$, searches for new scalars and flavour bounds. We show that this search could be used to test the Dark Matter origin of the gamma ray Galactic Centre excess with LHC Run 2 data.
Considering the constraints of the lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes $μ\rightarrow 3e$ and $τ\rightarrow3μ$ on the LFV couplings $Z'\ell_{i}\ell_{j}$, in the contexts of the $E_{6}$ models, the left-right (LR) models, the "alternative" left-right (ALR) models and the 331 models, we investigate the contributions of the extra gauge boson $Z'$ to the decay rates of the processes $\ell_{i}\rightarrow\ell_{j}ν_{\ell}ν_{\ell}$, $τ\rightarrowμP $ and $P\rightarrow μe$ with $P=π^{0},η$ and $η'$. Our numerical results show that the maximal values of the branching ratios for these processes are no…
Using the related form factors from full QCD which recently are available, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the $Λ_b \rightarrow Λ\ell^+ \ell^-$ transition in universal extra dimension model in the presence of a single universal extra dimension called the Applequist-Cheng-Dobrescu model. In particular, we analyze some related observables like branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, double lepton polarization asymmetries and polarization of the $Λ$ baryon in terms of compactification radius and corresponding form factors. We present the sensitivity of these observables to the compact…
We study the leptonic and semileptonic $D$-meson decays (${{\mathit D} \to} {{\mathit \ell}^{+}}{{\mathit ν}_{\mathit \ell}}$ and ${\mathit{D} \to} {{\mathit K}^{(*)}}{{\mathit \ell}^{+}}{{\mathit ν}_{\mathit \ell}}$) in the framework of covariant quark model with built-in infrared confinement. We compute the required form factors in the entire kinematical momentum transfer region. The calculated form factors are used to evaluate the branching fractions of these transitions. We determine the following ratios of the partial widths: $Γ({{\mathit D}^{0}} \rightarrow {{\mathit K}^{-}}{{\mathit e}^…
We work out the semileptonic $Λ_b\rightarrow Λ\ell^+ \ell^-$ transition in standard as well as different supersymmetric models. In particular, considering the parametrization of the matrix elements entered the low energy effective Hamiltonian in terms of form factors in full QCD, we calculate the amplitude and differential decay rate responsible for this decay channel in supersymmetric models. We then use the form factors calculated via light cone QCD sum rules in full theory to analyze the differential branching ratio and lepton forward-backward asymmetry of this decay channel in different su…
The most recent measurements of the observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are in tension with the Standard Model offering hints of New Physics in $b\rightarrow c \ell \barν_{\ell}$ transitions. Motivated by these results, in this work we present an analysis on their $b\rightarrow u \ell \barν_{\ell}$ counterparts (for $\ell=e, ~μ, ~τ$). Our study has three main objectives. Firstly, using ratios of branching fractions, we assess the effects of beyond the Standard Model scalar and pseudoscalar particles in leptonic and semileptonic $B$ decays ($B^-\rightarrow \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$, $\bar{B}\rightarrow π\ell …
We consider the possibility of detecting a heavy Higgs boson ($m_H>2m_Z$) in proposed $γγ$ colliders through the semi-leptonic mode $γγ\rightarrow H \rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow q\bar q \ell^+\ell^-$. We show that due to the non-monochromatic nature of the photon beams produced by the laser-backscattering method, the resultant cross section for Higgs production is much smaller than the on-resonance cross section and generally {\it decreases} with increasing collider energy. Although continuum $ZZ$ production is expected to be negligible, we demonstrate the presence of and calculate sizeable back…
The semi-leptonic baryonic $b\to s$ decay, $Λ_b\rightarrow Λ\ell^+\ell^-$, has been studied and new angular observables and asymmetries have been proposed which can test the presence of new physics beyond the standard model.
The semileptonic decay $D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow π^{+}\ell^{-}\ell^{+}$, where $\ell=e, \ μ$, is used as a reference channel when looking for suppressed or forbidden processes of the standard model of the form $D_{s}\rightarrow P\ell^{\pm}\ell^{\prime+}$. The process is dominated by hadronic resonances from the $η$ to the $ϕ$ meson region, usually excluded due to the large uncertainties associated. In this work, we explore the role of the parameters involved in the resonance region. We focus in the relative strong phase between the $ρ$ and the $ϕ$ meson ($δ_{ρϕ}$). We argue that this parameter can…
We study the observability of non-standard top Yukawa couplings in the $pp\rightarrow t(\rightarrow \ell ν_\ell b ) h(\rightarrow γγ)j$ channel at 14 TeV high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). The small diphoton branching ratio is enhanced when the $\mathcal{CP}$-violating phase, $ξ$, of the top-Higgs interaction is non-zero. When the modulus of the top-Higgs interaction assumes the SM value, $y_t=y_t^{SM}$, we find that the signal significance reaches $2.7σ$ $( 7.7σ)$ when $ξ= 0.25π$ $(0.5π) $. Furthermore, the different couplings modify the polarisation of the top quark, and can subsequently be disti…
Semileptonic $b \rightarrow s\ell \ell$ processes constitute a good probe for new physics phenomena: new particles contributing to the loops could affect branching fractions and angular distributions, and have different couplings to different lepton families, thus violating lepton flavour universality. Recent results from the LHCb experiment are reviewed.
$K \rightarrow π\ell^+ \ell^-$ decays, $\ell = e, μ$, will be one of the goals of future kaon facilities, like NA62 (CERN) and K$^0$TO (J-PARC). We review briefly the theoretical status of those processes.
We show that the decay rates of the Higgs boson to a pseudoscalar quarkonium and a pair of leptons, $h\to P\ell^+\ell^-$ ($P\in\{η_c,η_b\}$), can be substantially enhanced in a scenario with two Higgs doublets with a softly broken $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry (2HDM) when the CP-odd Higgs A is light, i.e. $m_A\lesssim m_h$. Depending on the type of 2HDM the enhancement of $\mathcal{B}(h\to η_{c,b}τ^+τ^-)$ with respect to its Standard Model value can be an order of magnitude larger, i.e. $\mathcal{O}(10^{-6}\div10^{-5})$. The decays $h\to P\ell^+\ell^-$ could therefore provide an efficient channel to…
Motivated by the first search for the rare charged-current $B$ decay to four leptons, $\ell \barν_\ell \ell^{(\prime)} \bar{\ell}^{(\prime)}$, we calculate the decay amplitude with factorization methods. We obtain the $B\to γ^*$ form factors, which depend on the invariant masses of the two lepton pairs, at leading power in an expansion in $Λ_{\rm QCD}/m_b$ to next-to-leading order in $α_s$, and at $\mathcal{O}(α_s^0)$ at next-to-leading power. Our calculations predict branching fractions of a few times $10^{-8}$ in the $\ell^{(\prime)} \bar{\ell}^{(\prime)}$ mass-squared bin up to $q^2=1~\text…
We use our lattice QCD computation of the $B_c\rightarrow J/ψ$ form factors to determine the differential decay rate for the semitauonic decay channel and construct the ratio of branching fractions $R(J/ψ) = \mathcal{B}(B_c^- \rightarrow J/ψτ^-\barν_τ)/\mathcal{B}(B_c^- \rightarrow J/ψμ^-\barν_μ)$. We find $R(J/ψ) = 0.2582(38)$ and give an error budget. We also extend the relevant angular observables, which were recently suggested for the study of lepton flavor universality violating effects in $B\rightarrow D^*\ellν$, to $B_c \rightarrow J/ψ\ellν$ and make predictions for their values under d…
We present analytical results for higher order corrections to the decay spectra of inclusive semileptonic heavy hadron weak decays using the heavy quark expansion (HQE). We compute analytically the spectrum of the leptonic invariant mass for $B \rightarrow X_c \ell \barν$ up to and including terms of order $1/m_Q^3$ within the HQE at next-to-leading order (NLO) in $α_s$. The full dependence of the differential rate on the mass of the final-state quark is taken into account. We discuss the implications of our results for the precision determination of the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$.
We comparatively analyze the rare $Λ_b\rightarrow Λ\ell^+ \ell^-$ channel in standard model, supersymmetry and Randall-Sundrum model with custodial protection (RS$_c$). Using the parametrization of the matrix elements entering the low energy effective Hamiltonian in terms of form factors, we calculate the corresponding differential decay width and lepton forward-backward asymmetry in these models. We compare the results obtained with the most recent data from LHCb as well as lattice QCD results on the considered quantities. It is obtained that the standard model, with the form factors calculat…
In this work we study the implication of the fourth generation standard model (SM4) to the single and double lepton polarization asymmetries in the $B\rightarrow K^{\ast}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$, $(l=μ,τ)$ decay. To see the variation in the values of lepton polarization asymmetries from the standard model values, we have taken lower bound values of CMS and ATLAS for $m_{t^\prime}=404$GeV and 552GeV respectively whereas $ϕ_{sb}$ is vary in two allowed regions $75^\circ-115^\circ$ and $240^\circ-290^\circ$ while for the numerical values of these asymmetries $|λ_{t^\prime}|$ is set to be $6\times10^{-3}…
We present a lattice quantum chromodynamics determination of the ratio of the scalar and vector form factors for two semileptonic decays of the $B_s$ meson: $B_s \rightarrow K \ell ν$ and $B_s \rightarrow D_s \ell ν$. In conjunction with future experimental data, our results for these correlated form factors will provide a new method to extract $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$, which may elucidate the current tension between exclusive and inclusive determinations of these Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix parameters. In addition to the form factor results, we determine the ratio of the differential dec…
The observed $D^{**}$ mesons have $c\bar q$ flavor quantum numbers and spin-parity of the light degrees of freedom $s_\ell^{π_{\ell}} = 3/2^+$. In the $m_c \rightarrow \infty$ limit the spin of the charm quark is conserved and the $c \rightarrow D^{**}$ fragmentation process is characterized by the probability for the charm quark to fragment to a $D^{**}$ meson with a given helicity for the light degrees of freedom. We consider the calculated $b \rightarrow B_c^{**}$ fragmentation functions in the limit $m_c/m_b \rightarrow 0$ as a qualitative model for the $c \rightarrow D^{**}$ fragmentation…
The $O(α)$ electromagnetic radiative corrections to the $B^- \rightarrow V^0 \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ ($V$ is a vector meson and $\ell$ a charged lepton) decay rates are evaluated using the cutoff method to regularize virtual corrections and incorporating intermediate resonance states in the real-photon amplitude to extend the region of validity of the soft-photon approximation. The electromagnetic and weak form factors of hadrons are assumed to vary smoothly over the energies of virtual and real photons under consideration. The cutoff dependence of radiative corrections upon the scale $Λ$ that se…
In this paper, limits are set on bileptons masses and couplings in the context of the the 331 Model, as well as generic, non-331 Models predicting bileptons. The following measurable processes are studied: $pp \rightarrow \ell^{+}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}\ell^{-}X$, $pp \rightarrow \ell^{+}\ell^{-} ννX$ and $pp \rightarrow \ell^{+}\ell^{-} X$. Experimental limits on singly-charged bileptons masses and couplings within 331 Models are also obtained for the first time. With the results, an over 20 year-old experimental limit on vector bileptons is increased by 60\%. The computed limits are now the most st…
In the framework of heavy quark effective theory, the leading order Isgur-Wise form factors relevant to semileptonic decays of the ground state $\bar{b}s$ meson $B_{s}$ into orbitally excited $D$-wave $\bar{c}s$ mesons, including the newly observed narrow $D^{*}_{s1}(2860)$ and $D^{*}_{s3}(2860)$ states by the LHCb Collaboration, are calculated with the QCD sum rule method. With these universal form factors, the decay rates and branching ratios are estimated. We find that the decay widths are $Γ(B_s\rightarrow D^{*}_{s1}\ell\barν) =1.25^{+0.80}_{-0.60}\times10^{-19} \mbox{GeV}$, $Γ(B_s\rightar…
We report the current status of a study of charmonium contribution to $B \rightarrow K\ell^+\ell^-$ on the lattice. Our lattice calculation tests the factorization approximation for this contribution. In order to control the problem of the artificial divergence, we focus on the low $q^2$ region with a small b-quark mass. We also take into account the renormalization constants of relevant four-quark operators calculated through the temporal moments. Results suggest a violation of the factorization approximation.

Composite effective field theory signal from anomalous quartic gauge couplings for $ZZ(\rightarrow\ell\ellνν)jj$ and $Zγ(\rightarrowννγ)jj$ productions
Non-vanishing boundary localised terms significantly modify the mass spectrum and various interactions among the Kaluza-Klein excited states of 5-Dimensional Universal Extra Dimensional scenario. In this scenario we compute the contributions of Kaluza-Klein excitations of gauge bosons and third generation quarks for the decay process $B\rightarrow X_s\ell^+\ell^-$ incorporating next-to-leading order QCD corrections. We estimate branching ratio as well as Forward Backward asymmetry associated with this decay process. Considering the constraints from some other $b \to s$ observables and electrow…
We present a study on the impact of scalar leptoquarks on the semileptonic decays of $ Λ_b$, $Σ_b $ and $Ξ_b $. To this end, we calculate the differential branching ratio and lepton forward-backward asymmetry defining the processes $ Λ_b \rightarrow Λ\ell^+ \ell^-$, $Σ_b \rightarrow Σ\ell^+ \ell^-$ and $Ξ_b \rightarrow Ξ\ell^+ \ell^-$, with $\ell$ being $μ$ or $τ$, using the form factors calculated via light cone QCD in full theory. In calculations, the errors of form factors are taken into account. We compare the results obtained in leptoquark model with those of the standard model as well as…
