In order to search for physics beyond the Standard Model at the precision frontier, it is sometimes essential to account for higher-order radiative corrections. We perform complete and detailed calculations of electroweak radiative corrections to parity-violating lepton scattering with a distinguishable target (electron-proton, muon-proton) up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) level...

Currently, the most precise extraction of the up-down quark mixing element $ V_{ud} $ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix comes from a handful of $ft$-value measurements for nuclear Fermi decays in light- and medium-mass nuclei. However, a complete extraction of $ V_{ud} $ from hadronic decays requires challenging theory determinations of hadronic-structure-dependent electroweak...

13. Probing New Physics: The Role of Vector-Like Quarks in Rare B-Decays

We investigate the impact of Vector-Like Quarks (VLQs) on rare B-decay processes. Our approach involves careful examination of VLQ contributions in light of the most recent lower mass limit set by direct search data at LHC. By employing both symbolic and numerical computations, we compare our theoretical produce predictions in agreement with the latest Belle-II results, covering more than 3...
