We present the phenomenology of the low scale U(1)B–L extension of the standard model and its implications at LHC. We show that this model provides a natural explanation for the presence of three right-handed neutrinos and can naturally account the observed neutrino masses and mixing. We study the decay and production of the extra gauge boson and the SM singlet scalar (heavy Higgs) predicted in this type of models. We find that the cross sections of the SM-like Higgs production are reduced by ~ 20% – 30%, while its decay branching ratios remain intact. The extra Higgs has relatively small cross sections and the branching ratios of Z′ → l+l− are of order ~ 20% compared to ~ 3% of the SM results.

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.

Our aim is to test a model recently presented, motivated by the reported Rb and Rc "crisis", which contains extra vector fermions. We suggest an alternative indirect test of the possible existence of new heavy quark flavors at the LEP2 collider, which turns out to give the clearest signal. We calculate [Formula: see text] cross-sections within this framework, including one-loop corrections, and find measurable differences compared to the Standard Model predictions.

We report updated results for ɛK, the indirect CP violation parameter in neutral kaons, which is evaluated directly from the standard model with lattice QCD inputs. We use lattice QCD inputs to fix [see formula in PDF], and mc(mc). Since Lattice 2016, the UTfit group has updated the Wolfenstein parameters in the angle-only-fit method, and the HFLAV group has also updated |Vcb|. Our results show that the evaluation of ɛK with exclusive |Vcb| (lattice QCD inputs) has 4.0σ tension with the experimental value, while that with inclusive |Vcb| (heavy quark expansion based on OPE and QCD sum rules) shows no tension.

We revisit rare radiative leptonic decays Bd,s → γμ+μ- and Bd,s → γe+e- in the Standard Model and obtain predictions for a number of differential distributions in these decays with special emphasis on the contribution of charm-quark loops.

Abstract Inclusive semileptonic decays of beauty baryons are studied using the heavy quark expansion to $$ \mathcal{O}\left(1/{m}_b^3\right) $$ O 1 / m b 3 , at leading order in αs. The case of a polarized decaying baryon is examined, with reference to Λb. An extension of the Standard Model effective Hamiltonian inducing b → $$ U\mathrm{\ell}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mathrm{\ell}} $$ U ℓ ν ¯ ℓ transitions (U = u, c and ℓ = e, μ, τ) is considered, which comprises the full set of D=6 semileptonic operators with left-handed neutrinos. The effects of the new operators in several observables are described.
