In the past decade, one of the major challenges of particle physics has been to gain an in-
depth understanding of the role of quark flavor. In this time frame, measurements and the …

Most inclusive rare B decays are important modes of flavor physics due to the small hadronic
uncertainties. In this article, the author gives a status report on such decays, highlighting …

The rare decay B-> K*(-> K pi) mu+ mu-is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B
physics as the polarization of the K* allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in …

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 …

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 2158 new measurements from 551 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …

We analyze three different new physics scenarios for Δ F= 2 flavor-changing neutral currents
in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrize …

We perform an extensive study of FCNC and CP Violation within Supersymmetric (SUSY)
theories with particular emphasis put on processes governed by b→ s transitions and of their …

We systematically analyze constraints on supersymmetric theories imposed by the
experimental bounds on the electron, neutron, and mercury electric dipole moments. We …

We outline a systematic strategy that should help in this decade to identify new physics (NP)
beyond the standard model (SM) by means of quark flavour violating processes, and thereby …

The direct CP asymmetry in the untagged inclusive channel B¯→ Xs+ dγ provides a strict
test of the standard model. It has been shown beyond the partonic level that this asymmetry …
