The Effects of Non-Local Interactions in Rare B Decays, B -> X_s l^+l^-

The effects of non-local interactions in rare B decays, \Bsll, are investigated. We show the correlation between the branching ratio and the forward-backward asymmetry via two coefficients of the non-local interactions. This will certainly help us find any deviations from the standard model through the non-local interactions.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX, Accepted for IJMP

General analysis of time evolution of decay spectrum in B^0 -> pi^+ pi^- l^+ l^-

Using the general, model independent form of effective Hamiltonian, the decay spectrum of B^0 -> pi^+ pi^- l^+ l^- decay is studied. The sensitivity of experimentally measurable asymmetries to the new Wilson coefficients and time is studied. It is observed that different asymmetries are sensitive to the new Wilson coefficients and they can serve as an efficient tool for establishing new physics beyond SM.Comment: 15 pp, 4 figures (postscript formatted), LaTex formatte

Lepton polarization and CP-violating effects in "B -> K^* tau^+ tau^-" decay in standard and two Higgs doublet models

The most general model independent expressions for the CP-violating asymmetry, longitudinal, transversal and normal polarizations of leptons are derived. Application of these general results to the concrete models such as Standard model and three different types of two Higgs doublet model is discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 8 postscripted figure

Possible Supersymmetric Effects on Angular Distributions in B→K∗(→Kπ)ℓ+ℓ−B \to K^* (\to K \pi) \ell^+ \ell^- Decays

We investigate the angular distributions of the rare B decay, $B \to K^* (\to K \pi) \ell^+ \ell^-$, in general supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. We consider the new physics contributions from the operators $O_{7,8,9,10}$ in small invariant mass region of lepton pair. We show that the azimuthal angle distribution of the decay can tell us the new physics effects clearly from the behavior of the distribution, even if new physics does not change the decay rate substantially from the standard model prediction

Longitudinal polarization asymmetry of leptons in the pure leptonic B decays

Longitudinal lepton polarization asymmetry in B_q -> l l (q = d, s$ and l = e, mu, tau) decays is investigated. The analysis is done in a general manner by using the effective operators approach. It is shown that the longitudinal lepton polarization asymmetry would provide a direct search for the scalar and pseudoscalar type interactions, which are induced in all variants of Higgs-doublet models.Comment: 7 page

CP Asymmetry of B→Xsl+l−B\to X_sl^+l^- in Low Invariant Mass Region

I analyzed the CP asymmetry of $B\to X_sl^+l^-$ based on model-independent analysis which includes twelve independent four Fermi operators. The CP asymmetry is suppressed in the Standard Model, however, if some new physics make it much larger, the present or the next generation B factories may catch the CP violation in this decay mode. In this paper, we studied the correlation of the asymmetry and the branching ratio, and then we will find only a type of interactions can be enlarge the asymmetry. Therefore, in comparison with experiments, we have possibility that we can constrain models beyond the standard model.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX, Accepted for Physical Review
