Model independent predictions for rare top decays with weak coupling
Measurements at B factories have provided important constraints on new physics in several rare processes involving the B meson. New physics, if present in the b quark sector may also affect the top sector. In an effective Lagrangian approach, we write down operators, where effects in the bottom and the top sector are related. Assuming the couplings of the operators to be of the same size as the weak coupling g of the standard model and taking into account constraints on new physics from the bottom sector as well as top branching ratios, we make predictions for the rare top decays t{yields}cV, where V={gamma}, Z. We find branching fractions for these decays within possible reach of the LHC. Predictions are also made for t{yields}sW.

Explaining the $B \to K^\ast \mu^+ \mu^-$ data with scalar interactions
Recent LHCb results on the decay $B \to K^\ast \mu^+ \mu^-$ show significant deviations from the SM estimates in some of the angular correlations. In this paper we study the possibility of explaining these deviations using new scalar interactions. We show that new dimension-6 four-quark operators of scalar and pseudo-scalar type can successfully account for the discrepancies even after being consistent with other experimental measurements. We also briefly discuss possible extensions of the Standard Model where these operators can be generated.

Understanding the nature of Ds(2317) and Ds(2460) through nonleptonic B decays
We consider the nonleptonic B decays B→D(∗)Ds(2317) and B→D(∗)Ds(2460), involving the newly discovered Ds(2317) and the Ds(2460) states. We find that experiments indicate disagreement with model calculations of their properties and/or breakdown of the factorization assumption for these decays. We point out that decays involving Bs mesons where the Ds resonances can be produced via the weak decay of the b quark can provide further information about the nature of these newly discovered states. We also propose a model to calculate the two body nonleptonic decays B→D(∗)Ds(2317)(Ds(2460)), if the Ds(2317) and Ds(2460) are interpreted as DK and D∗K molecules.

Phenomenology of spinless adjoints in two Universal Extra Dimensions
Abstract We discuss the phenomenology of ( 1 , 1 ) -mode adjoint scalars in the framework of two Universal Extra Dimensions. The Kaluza–Klein (KK) towers of these adjoint scalars arise in the 4-dimensional effective theory from the 6th component of the gauge fields after compactification. Adjoint scalars can have KK-number conserving as well as KK-number violating interactions. We calculate the KK-number violating operators involving these scalars and two Standard Model fields. Decay widths of these scalars into different channels have been estimated. We have also briefly discussed pair-production and single production of such scalars at the Large Hadron Collider.

Invisible charginos and neutralinos from gauge boson fusion: a way to explore anomaly mediation.
We point out that vector boson fusion at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can lead to useful signals for charginos and neutralinos in supersymmetric scenarios where these particles are almost invisible. The proposed signals are just two forward jets with missing transverse energy. It is shown that, in this way, one can put by far the strongest constraint on the parameter space of a theory with anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking at the LHC. In addition, scenarios where the lightest neutralinos and charginos are Higgsino-like can give signals of the above type.

Production of light stabilized radion at high energy hadron collider
In this paper we use the conformal anomaly in QCD to derive the coupling of light radion to gluons in the Randall-Sundrum model and use it to compute the radion production cross section at hadron colliders by gluon fusion. We find that the radion production cross section by gluon fusion at LHC would exceed that of the higgs boson by a factor that lies between 7 and 8 over most of the range. The decay modes of the radion are similar to that of the SM higgs boson. But the striking feature is the enhancement of radion to 2-photon and radion to 2-gluon branching ratio over the SM case. Utilising this, we then discuss the possible search strategies of such scalars at Tevatron and LHC. Using the $\gamma \gamma$ decay mode one can explore/exclude radion mass upto 1 TeV. Even with the current collected data at the Tevatron, one can exclude radion mass upto 120 GeV for $\vphi$= 1 TeV.

Supersymmetry search via gauge boson fusion
We propose a novel method for the search of supersymmetry, especially for the electroweak gauginos at the large hadron collider (LHC). Gauge boson fusion technique was shown to be useful for heavy and intermediate mass Higgs bosons. In this article, we have shown that this method can also be applied to find the signals of EW gauginos in supersymmetric theories where the canonical search strategies for these particles fail.

Higgs Boson Signals in Three b-jet Final States at the Fermilab Tevatron
At the Fermilab Tevatron, final states with three tagged b-jets could play an important role in searches for a Higgs boson with mass in the range 100-300 GeV. These signals arise from gb fusion and we demonstrate their observability in the limit of a large b-quark Yukawa coupling. Rather promising discovery limits on such a coupling are obtained and consequent effects on the parameter space of the Higgs-boson sector in the MSSM are discussed.
