After a brief review of B_s^0 - bar B_s^0 oscillations, we discuss the weak decays B_s^0 -> J/psiphi and B_s^0 -> J/psi f_0(980) and the ratio R_{f_0/phi} of their decay rates in the light of recent measurements by the LHCb, D0 and CDF Collaborations. We point out that the experimental values for R_{f_0/phi} impose tight limits on new physics contributions to both decay channels.

While the LHC did not observe direct evidence for physics beyond the standard model, indirect hints for new physics were uncovered in the flavour sector in the decays $Bto K^*mu^+mu^-$, $Bto Kmu^+mu^-/Bto Ke^+e^-$, $B_stophimu^+mu^-$, $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $htotau^pmmu^mp$. Each observable deviates from the SM predictions at the $2-3,sigma$ level only, but combining all $bto smu^+mu^-$ data via a global fit, one finds $4-5,sigma$ difference for NP compared to the SM and combining $Bto D^{*}tau u$ with $Bto Dtau u$ one obtains $3.9,sigma$. While $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $htotaumu$ can be naturally explained by an extended Higgs sector, the $bto smu^+mu^-$ anomalies point at a $Z$ gauge boson. However, it is also possible to explain $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $bto smu^+mu^-$ simultaneously with leptoquarks while their effect in $htotau^pmmu^mp$ is far too small to account for current data. Combining a 2HDM with a gauged $L_mu-L_tau$ symmetry allows for explaining the $bto smu^+mu^-$ anomalies in combination with $htotau^pmmu^mp$, predicting interesting correlations with $tauto3mu$. In the light of these deviations from the SM we also discuss the possibilities of observing lepton flavour violating $B$ decays (e.g. $Bto K^{(*)}tau^pmmu^mp$ and $B_stotau^pmmu^mp$).
We perform calculations for the $bar B_s^0 to J/psi pi^0 f_0(980)$ and $bar B_s^0 to J/psi pi^0 a_0(980)$ reactions, showing that the first one is isospin-suppressed while the second one is isospin-allowed. The reaction proceeds via a triangle mechanism, with $bar B_s^0 to J/psi K^* bar K +c.c.$, followed by the decay $K^* to Kpi$ and a further fusion of $Kbar K$ into the $f_0(980)$ or $a_0(980)$. We show that the mechanism develops a singularity around the $pi^0 f_0(980)$ or $pi^0 a_0(980)$ invariant mass of 1420 MeV where the $pi^0 f_0$ and $pi^0 a_0$ decay modes are magnified and also the ratio of $pi^0 f_0$ to $pi^0 a_0$ production. Using experimental information for the $bar B_s^0 to J/psi K^* bar K +c.c.$ decay, we are able to obtain absolute values for the reactions studied which fall into the experimentally accessible range. The reactions proposed and the observables evaluated, when contrasted with actual experiments should be very valuable to obtain information on the nature of the low lying scalar mesons.
In this paper we investigate CP violation in charged decays of $D$ meson. Particularly, we study the direct CP asymmetry of the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^+ rightarrow bar K^0 pi^+$ and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^+ rightarrow K^0 pi^+$ within standard model, two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure and left right symmetric models. In the standard model, we first derive the contributions from box and di-penguin diagrams contributing to their amplitudes which are relevant to the generation of the weak phases essential for non-vanishing direct CP violation. Then, we show that these phases are so tiny leading to a direct CP asymmetry of order $10^{-11}$ in both decay modes. Regarding the two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure and after taking into account all constraints on the parameter space of the model, we show that the enhanced direct CP asymmetries can be 6 and 7 orders of magnitudes larger than the standard model prediction for $D^+ rightarrow bar K^0 pi^+$ and $D^+ rightarrow K^0 pi^+$ respectively. Finally, within left right symmetric models, we find that sizable direct CP asymmetry of ${mathcal O } (10^{-3})$ can be obtained for the decay mode $D^+ rightarrow bar K^0 pi^+$ after respecting all relevant constraints.
A U-spin relation among four ratios of amplitudes for $D^0 to pi^+K^-$, $K^+pi^-$, $K^+K^-, pi^+pi^-$, including first, second and third order U-spin breaking, has been derived recently with a precision of $10^{-3}$. We study effects of new $|Delta C|=1$ operators on this relation. We find that it is not affected by U-spin scalar operators, including QCD penguin and chromomagnetic dipole operators occurring in supersymmetric and extra-dimensional models. The relation is modified by new $U=1$ operators with a sensitivity of a few percent characteristic of second order U-spin breaking. Combining this relation with CP asymmetries in $D^0to K^+K^-, pi^+pi^-$ leads to a more solid constraint on $U=1$ operators than from asymmetries alone.
We provide a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of possible New Physics contributions to the mass difference $Delta M_D$ in $D^0$-${bar D}^0$ mixing. We consider the most general low energy effective Hamiltonian and include leading order QCD running of effective operators. We then explore an extensive list of possible New Physics models that can generate these operators, which we organize as including Extra Fermions, Extra Gauge Bosons, Extra Scalars, Extra Space Dimensions and Extra Symmetries. For each model we place restrictions on the allowed parameter space using the recent evidence for observation of $D$ meson mixing. In many scenarios, we find strong constraints that surpass those from other search techniques and provide an important test of flavor changing neutral currents in the up-quark sector. We also review the recent BaBar and Belle findings, and describe the current status of the Standard Model predictions of $D^0$-${bar D}^0$ mixing.
