General analysis of the rare Bc->D^*_s l^+ l^- decay beyond the standard model

The general analysis of the rare Bc->D^*_s l^+ l^- decay is presented by using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian. The dependencies of the branching ratios, longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization asymmetries for l^- and the combined asymmetries for l^- and l^+ on the new Wilson coefficients are investigated. Our analysis shows that the lepton polarization asymmetries are very sensitive to the scalar and tensor type interactions, which will be very useful in looking for new physics beyond the standard model.Comment: 27 Pages, 14 Figure

B--> K^* l^+ l^- decay in the two Higgs doublet model with flavor changing neutral currents

We study the decay width, forward-backward asymmetry and the longitudinal lepton polarization for the exclusive decay B --> K^* l^+ l^- in the two Higgs doublet model with three level flavor changing neutral currents (model III) and analyse the dependencies of these quantities on the the selected parameters, \xi^{U,D}, of model III including the next to leading QCD corrections. It is found that to look for charged Higgs effects, the measurements of the branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry and the longitudinal lepton polarization for the decay B --> K^* l^+ l^- are promising.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure

T violation in (Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^-) decay beyond standard model

Using the most general, model independent form of effective Hamiltonian, the transverse polarization P_T of Lambda in Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^- decay is studied. It is observed that the averaged is very sensitive to the existence of new physics and can attain large values, which can be measured at future colliders.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, LaTeX formatte

Screening for Ascochyta Blight Resistance in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Ten chickpea lines CM1966/93, CMC77S, CM843/98, CM1223/98, CM1441/98, CM2070/98, CC 104/99, CC106/99, CC124/00 were found highly resistant to Ascochyta blight with disease rating of 2 followed by 34 lines that were resistant and 21 lines were tolerant. None was found immune to blight. The highly resistant lines have exhibited higher level of resistance against blight as compared to earlier released varieties (CM72, CM88 and CM2000)

The exclusive B→πℓ+ℓ−B\to \pi \ell^+ \ell^- and B→ρℓ+ℓ−B\to \rho \ell^+ \ell^- decays in the general two Higgs doublet model

We study the differential branching ratio, branching ratio and the forward-backward asymmetry for the exclusive $B \to \pi \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to \rho \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays in the general two Higgs doublet model including the neutral Higgs boson effects. We analyze the dependencies of these quantities on the neutral Higgs boson contributions and the other model parameters. We observe that two Higgs doublet model with the neutral Higgs boson exchanges gives quite sizable contributions to these observables for both channels we consider. Since the neutral Higgs boson exchanges are the only source of the forward-backward asymmetry for $B \to \pi \tau^+ \tau^-$ decay, which is at the order of magnitude $1-10$, measurement of this observable is promising to determine the neutral Higgs boson effects.Comment: 27 pages, 18 eps figures, requires JHEP3.cls (included), replaced with the version to appear in JHE

Leading logarithmic QCD corrections to the B_s --> \gamma \gamma decays in the two Higgs doublet model

We calculate the leading logarithmic QCD corrections to the decay B_s --> \gamma \gamma in the two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) including O_7 type long distance effects and estimate the restrictions of the 2HDM parameters, tan\beta and m_H, using the experimental data of B --> X_s \gamma decay provided by the CLEO collaboration. A lower bound for the charged Higgs mass m_H as a function of the renormalization scale \mu is given for 2HDM model II. We further present the dependencies of the branching ratio Br(B_s --> \gamma \gamma) and the ratio |A^{+}|^2/|A^{-}|^2 on m_H and tan\beta including leading logarithmic QCD corrections. The dependence on the renormalization scale is found to be strong for both ratios. An additional uncertainty arises from the variation of the parameters of the bound state model, (m_b, \bar{\Lambda}_s). We see, that to look for charged Higgs effects the measurement of the branching ratio Br(B_s --> \gamma \gamma) is promising.Comment: 25 pages, 19 figures (required epsf.sty

Analysis of B_s->\phi \ell^+ \ell^- decay with new physics effects

The rare B_s-> \phi \ell^+ \ell^- decay is investigated by using the most general model independent effective Hamiltonian for $\ell= \mu, \tau$. The calculated Br(B_s \rar \phi \mu^+ \mu^-) = 1.92 \times 10^{-6} is in consistent with the experimental upper bound. The dependencies of the branching ratios and polarization asymmetries of leptons and combined lepton-antilepton asymmetries on the new Wilson coefficients are presented. The analysis shows that the branching ratios and the lepton polarization asymmetries are very sensitive to the scalar and tensor type interactions. The results obtained in this work will be very useful in searching new physics beyond the standard model.Comment: 28 pages, 14 figure

Model independent analysis of 'Lambda' baryon polarizations in (Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^-) decay

We present the model independent analysis of $\Lambda$ baryon polarizations in the (Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^-) decay. The sensitivity of the averaged 'Lambda' polarizations to the new Wilson coefficients is studied. It is observed that there exist certain regions of the new Wilson coefficients where the branching ratio coincides with the standard model prediction, while the 'Lambda' baryon polarizations deviate from the standard model results remarkably.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, LaTeX formatte
