Abstract
We present a model independent analysis of new-physics contributions to the rare decays K + → π + νν and K L → π 0 νν. We parameterize the effects of new physics in these decays by two parameters: r K and the phase θ K , with r K = 1 and θ K = 0 in the Standard Model. We show how these parameters can be extracted from future data together with the relevant CKM parameters, in particular the angle β of the unitarity triangle. To this end CP asymmetries in B → ψK S and B → π + π − as well as the ratio |V ub /V cb | have to be also considered. This analysis offers simultaneously some insight in a possible violation of a "golden relation" between K → πνν decays and the CP asymmetry in B → ψK S in the Standard Model pointed out some time ago. We illustrate these ideas by considering a general class of supersymmetric models. We find that in the "constrained" MSSM, in which θ K = 0, the measurements of Br(K + → π + νν) and Br(K L → π 0 νν) directly determine the angle β. Moreover, the "golden relation" remains unaffected. On the other hand, in general SUSY models with unbroken R-parity the present experimental constraints still allow for substantial deviations from r K = 1 and θ K = 0. Typically 0.5 < r K < 1.3 and −25 0 < θ K < 25 0. Consequently, in these models the violation of the "golden relation" is possible and values for Br(K + → π + νν) and Br(K L → π 0 νν) departing from the Standard Model expectations by factors 2-3 cannot be excluded. Simultaneously, the extraction of the "true" angle β from K → πνν is not possible without additional information from other decays. Our conclusions differ in certain aspects from the ones reached in previous analyses. In particular, we stress the possible importance of left-right flavour-violating mass insertions that were not considered before.

We present a model independent analysis of new-physics contributions to the decays K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu and K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu. We parameterize the effects of new physics in these decays by two parameters: r_K and \theta_K, with r_K=1 and \theta_K=0 in the Standard Model (SM). We show how these parameters can be extracted from future data. This analysis offers some insight in a possible violation of a "golden relation" between K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu decays and the CP asymmetry in B \to \psi K_S in the SM pointed out some time ago. We illustrate these ideas by considering a general class of supersymmetric models. We find that in the "constrained" MSSM, in which \theta_K=0, the measurements of Br(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu) and Br(K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu) directly determine the angle \beta. Moreover, the "golden relation" remains unaffected. On the other hand, in general SUSY models with unbroken R-parity the present experimental constraints still allow for substantial deviations from r_K=1 and \theta_K=0. Typically 0.5 < r_K < 1.3 and -25^0 < \theta_K < 25^0. Consequently, in these models the violation of the "golden relation" is possible and values for Br(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu) and Br(K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu) departing from the SM expectations by factors 2-3 cannot be excluded.

Symmetries and asymmetries of B→ K* μ+ μ− decays in the Standard Model and beyond
Journal of High …, 2009
The rare decay B → K * (→ Kπ)µ + µ − is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics as the polarization of the K * allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in many observables that offer new important tests of the Standard Model and its extensions. These angular observables can be expressed in terms of CP-conserving and CP-violating quantities which we study in terms of the full form factors calculated from QCD sum rules on the light-cone, including QCD factorization corrections. We investigate all observables in the context of the Standard Model and various New Physics models, in particular the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity and various MSSM scenarios, identifying those observables with small to moderate dependence on hadronic quantities and large impact of New Physics. One important result of our studies is that new CP-violating phases will produce clean signals in CP-violating asymmetries. We also identify a number of correlations between various observables which will allow a clear distinction between different New Physics scenarios.
Comparative study of the decays B→(K,K*)l+l- in the standard model and supersymmetric theories
Physical Review D, 2000
Using improved theoretical calculations of the decay form factors in the Light Cone-QCD sum rule approach, we investigate the decay rates, dilepton invariant mass spectra and the forward-backward (FB) asymmetry in the decays B → (K, K * )ℓ + ℓ − (ℓ ± = e ± , µ ± , τ ± ) in the standard model (SM) and a number of popular variants of the supersymmetric (SUSY) models. Theoretical precision on the differential decay rates and FB-asymmetry is estimated in these theories taking into account various parametric uncertainties. We show that existing data on B → X s γ and the experimental upper limit on the branching ratio B(B → K * µ + µ − ) provide interesting bounds on the coefficients of the underlying effective theory. We argue that the FB-asymmetry in B → K * ℓ + ℓ − constitutes a precision test of the SM and its measurement in forthcoming experiments may reveal new physics. In particular, the presently allowed largetan β solutions in SUGRA models, as well as more general flavor-violating SUSY models, yield FB-asymmetries which are characteristically different from the corresponding ones in the SM.
Complementarity of the constraints on new physics from B_{s}→μ^{+}μ^{-} and from B→Kℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} decays
Physical Review D, 2012
We discuss the advantages of combining the experimental bound on Br(B s → µ + µ − ) and the measured Br(B → K + − ) to get the model independent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. Since the two decays give complementary information, one can study not only the absolute values of the Wilson coefficients that are zero in the Standard Model, but also their phases. To identify the sector in which the new physics might appear, information about the shapes of the transverse asymmetries in B → K * + − at low q 2 's can be particularly useful. We also emphasize the importance of measuring the forward-backward asymmetry in B → K + − decay at large q 2 's.
Prepared for submission to JHEP Comparative Study of Bc → D∗sℓ+ℓ − Decays in Standard Model and Supersymmetric Models
2016
A comparative study of the exclusive rare B c → D * s ℓ + ℓ − (ℓ = µ, τ) decays has been made in the minimal supersymmetric models (MSSM) and the SUSY SO(10) GUT models. In this context, various physical observables such as branching ratios (BR), forward-backward asymmetries (A F B), lepton polarization asymmetries (P L,N,T) and helicity fractions (f L,T) of D * s meson by using the the QCD sum rules form factors have been investigated. It is found that the SUSY effects are characteristically prominent to that of the SM values for these observables. For instance, in SUSY I and SUSY II, the forward-backward asymmetry does not cross zero which is mainly due to the same sign of the C ef f 7 and C ef f 9 Wilson coefficients. Similarly in SUSY SO(10) GUT models due to the complex nature of the new Wilson coefficients-corresponding to the new operators arising due to the contribution of neutral Higgs bosons (NHBs)-the above mentioned observables are sizably affected. Therefore the analysis of said observables in charmed semileptonic B meson decays can put some stringent constraints on the parameter space of SUSY variants and can serve as a windowpane to look beyond the SM.

Examination of Flavor Symmetry in $B, B_s \to K \pi$ Decays
Physics Letters B, 2008
We study a relation between the weak phase γ and the rates and CP asymmetries of several Kπ decays of B + , B 0 , and B s , emphasizing the impact of the latter measurements. Current data indicate large SU(3) breaking in the strong phases or failure of factorization (including its application to penguin amplitudes) in Kπ modes of B 0 and B s . SU(3) and factorization only remain approximately valid if the branching ratio for B s → K − π + exceeds its current value of (5.27 ± 1.17) × 10 −6 by at least 42%, or if a parameter ξ describing ratios of form factors and decay constants is shifted from its nominal value by more than twice its estimated error.

Rare K and B decays in the standard model and supersymmetry
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2001
We discuss rare decays as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. After quickly reviewing the SM predictions for rare K and B decays, we discuss SUSY contributions to these processes in two extreme scenarios: the MSSM with minimal flavour and CP violation, and the most general minimal SUSY extension of the SM. We stress how rare decays are in principle able to discriminate between various scenarios of new physics.
Rare Decays and CP Violation Beyond the Standard Model
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2006
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 study the branching ratios of rare K and B decays in models with minimal flavour violation, using the presently available information from the universal unitarity triangle analysis and from the measurements of Br(B → X s γ), Br(B → X s l + l − ) and Br(K + → π + νν). We find the following upper bounds: Br(K + → π + νν) < 11.9 × 10 −11 , Br(K L → π 0 νν) < 4.6 × 10 −11 , Br(

Improved Model-Independent Analysis of Semileptonic and Radiative Rare Decays
Physical Review D, 2002
We update the branching ratios for the inclusive decays B → X s ℓ + ℓ − and the exclusive decays B → (K, K * )ℓ + ℓ − , with ℓ = e, µ, in the standard model by including the explicit O(α s ) and Λ QCD /m b corrections. This framework is used in conjunction with the current measurements of the branching ratios for B → X s γ and B → Kℓ + ℓ − decays and upper limits on the branching ratios for the decays B → (K * , X s )ℓ + ℓ − to work out bounds on the Wilson coefficients C 7 , C 8 , C 9 and C 10 appearing in the effective Hamiltonian formalism. The resulting bounds are found to be consistent with the predictions of the standard model and some variants of supersymmetric theories. We illustrate the constraints on supersymmetric parameters that the current data on rare B decays implies in the context of minimal flavour violating model and in more general scenarios admitting additional flavour changing mechanisms. Precise measurements of the dilepton invariant mass distributions in the decays B → (X s , K * , K)ℓ + ℓ − , in particular in the lower dilepton mass region, and the forward-backward asymmetry in the decays B → (X s , K * )ℓ + ℓ − , will greatly help in discriminating among the SM and various supersymmetric theories. *
Supersymmetric Models and CP violation in B decays
In this talk CP violation in the supersymmetric models, and especially in B-decays is discussed. We review our analysis of the supersymmetric contributions to the mixing CP asymmetries of $B\to \phi K_S$ and $B\to \eta^{\prime} K_S$ processes. Both gluino and chargino exchanges are considered in a model independent way by using the mass insertion approximation method. The QCD factorization method is used, and parametrization of this method in terms of Wilson coefficients is presented in both decay modes. Correlations between the CP asymmetries of these processes and the direct CP asymmetry in $b\to s \gamma$ decay are shown.
Diagnostic for new physics in B → π K decays
Physics Letters B, 2009
A recent analysis of B → πK decays concludes that present data do not clearly indicate whether (i) the standard model (or ∆I = 0 new physics) is sufficient, or (ii) ∆I = 1 new physics is needed. We show that these two possibilities can be distinguished by whether a sum rule relating the CP asymmetries of the four B → πK decays is valid. If case (i) is favored, the sum rule holds, and one predicts A CP (π 0 K 0 ) = −0.15, while in case (ii) fits to new physics involving large values of a colorsuppressed tree amplitude entail A CP (π 0 K 0 ) = −0.03. The current experimental average A CP (π 0 K 0 ) = −0.01 ± 0.10 must be measured a factor of at least three times more precisely in order to distinguish between the two cases.
