In this work we investigate the transport properties of strongly correlated quantum dot in Kondo regime attached to two leads and side coupled to non interacting N sites quantum-ring (QR) pierced by magnetic flux. In order to calculate the transport properties we use the slave boson technique in the limit of infinite Coulomb repulsion (U \rightarrow 1) in a quantum dot (QD). We show that the differential conductance develops a sequence of Fano anti-resonances as a consequence of destructive interferences of N discrete quantum ring levels with continuous conducting channels. The interaction determines the Fano antiresonance line-shape, in the U = 1 limit the Fano antiresonances are asymmetric while in the case without interaction (U = 0) they are symmetric. We show that for weak or intermediate QD-QR coupling, the Fano factor depends strongly with the magnetic flux. To strong QD-QR coupling, the Fano factor does not depend on the magnetic flux and varies discontinuously between 1 and 1=2 values. In this strong coupling regime, we show from the information provided by the current and shot noise curves, that the transmission T(!) must be exactly a sequence of Lorentzian peaks.
