The SM predictions for CP violating effects in the neutral D meson system are highly suppressed and experimental evidence for sizable CP violation in D0-D0bar mixing would be a clear signal of New Physics. Within supersymmetric scenarios, the popular alignment models can naturally account for large, non-standard effects in D0-D0bar mixing. We show that, within SUSY alignment models, detectable...

We review Lepton Flavour Violation (LFV) in the supersymmetric version of the seesaw mechanism (type I, II and III) and in Left-Right (LR)models. The LFV needed for explaining the neutrino masses and mixings acts as the only source of LFV and has experimental implications both in low-energy experiments (like MEG) where we search for the radiative decays of leptons, and at the LHC where we look...

Searches for lepton flavour and lepton number violation in kaon decays by the CERN NA48 and NA62 experiments are reported. A new measurement of the helicity suppressed ratio of charged kaon leptonic decay rates to sub-percent precision at the CERN NA62 experiment is presented. The strong suppression and the high precision of the SM expectation provide a unique sensitivity to deviations from...

I will briefly present a study of the di-muon CP asymmetry measurement performed by the D0 collaboration. I will focus in particular on its consistency with other CP violation measurements and its possible implications for physics beyond the Standard Model.

We report recent B-Physics results from the Tevatron, with special emphasis on B_s mesons. The topics covered include searches for rare flavor-changing neutral-current decays, searches for charm CP violation, CP violation in B0 → J/ψφ and other B decays, and measurements of B decays and properties. The data used for the results described here are based on approximately 2.9− 6.9 fb−1 of data...

Recently new reactor antineutrino spectra have been provided for 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu and 238U, increasing the mean flux by about 3 percent. To good approximation, this reevaluation applies to all reactor neutrino experiments. The synthesis of published experiments at reactor-detector distances ≤ 100 m leads to a ratio of observed event rate to predicted rate of 0.979(0.029). With our new flux...

The interest around a light sterile neutrino with mass in the eV range has been recently reawakened by the emergence of new anomalies in the neutrino data, which may be explained by hypothesizing oscillations into a new sterile state. The existence of a non-negligible mixing with an additional sterile neutrino specie has important consequences on the remaining neutrino oscillation...
