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 forward-backward (FB) asymmetry in the decays $B \to (K,K^*) \ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell^\pm =e^\pm,\mu^\pm,\tau^\pm$) in the standard model (SM) and a number of popular variants of the supersymmetric (SUSY) models. Theoretical precision on the differential decay rates and FB-asymmetry is estimated in these theories taking into account various parametric uncertainties. We show that existing data on $B \to X_s \gamma$ and the experimental upper limit on the branching ratio ${\cal B}(B \to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-)$ provide interesting bounds on the coefficients of the underlying effective theory. We argue that the FB-asymmetry in $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ constitutes a precision test of the SM and its measurement in forthcoming experiments may reveal new physics. In particular, the presently allowed large-$\tan \beta$ solutions in SUGRA models, as well as more general flavor-violating SUSY models, yield FB-asymmetries which are characteristically different from the corresponding ones in the SM.

  1. Angular analysis of the $B^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ decay

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First measurement of A_FB and F_H in B+→π+μ+μ− decay is consistent with Standard Model predictions in both high- and low-mass dimuon regions.

  2. Search for the $\boldsymbol{B^0 \to K^0_{\rm S} \tau^+ \tau^-}$ decay

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    No evidence is found for B0→K0Sτ+τ−; the first upper limit, B<8.3×10^-4 at 90% CL, is set, and the isospin-combined B→Kτ+τ− limit becomes 5.4×10^-4.

  3. The KSVZ Atlas: A Unified SMEFT-ALP Framework

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A matching framework from arbitrary KSVZ UV completions to SMEFT and ALP EFT yields robust operator bounds from global fits that often dominate direct ALP searches except when mass mixing occurs.

  4. Test of lepton flavour universality with $B^0\to K^{*0}\ell^+\ell^-$ decays at large dilepton invariant mass

    hep-ex 2026-04 accept novelty 6.0

    R_K*0 is measured as 1.08^{+0.14}_{-0.12}(stat) ± 0.07(syst) for q² > 14 GeV²/c⁴ in B⁰ → K*⁰ ℓ⁺ℓ⁻ decays, consistent with the Standard Model.

  5. Probing mixed-state dark matter and flavor observables in a scalar-assisted baryonic gauge theory

    hep-ph 2026-02 reject novelty 5.0

    Adding a colored scalar S1 to a U(1)_B dark matter model correlates dark matter freeze-out with b→s μ+μ− observables, but the flavor amplitudes use a Z'–muon coupling that the model's zero-kinetic-mixing limit forbids.

  6. Semileptonic neutral current decays of $\Xi_b$ with dileptons or dineutrinos in the final state

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Perturbative QCD calculations find that branching fractions for Ξ_b to Ξ lepton-pair decays lie within LHCb reach and that angular observables plus a specific ratio can constrain Wilson coefficients and extract |V_td/...

  7. Study of Form Factors and Observables in $B_c^- \rightarrow \bar{D}^{(*)0}\ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ and $B_c^- \rightarrow D^{(*)-}\ell^+\ell^-$ decays

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Computes pQCD form factors for B_c to D(*) transitions via lattice inputs and heavy quark symmetry, then predicts branching fractions and angular observables for semileptonic and rare dilepton decays.
