Comprehensive Bayesian Analysis of Rare (Semi)leptonic and Radiative B Decays
Abstract
The available data on decays are in good agreement with the Standard Model when permitting subleading power corrections of about 15% at large hadronic recoil. Constraining new-physics effects in , , , the data still demand the same size of power corrections as in the Standard Model. In the presence of chirality-flipped operators, all but one of the power corrections reduce substantially. The Bayes factors are in favor of the Standard Model. Using new lattice inputs for form factors, the evidence of models with chirality-flipped operators increases, but does not outperform the Standard Model. We use the data to further constrain the hadronic form factors in and transitions.

Comments
18 pages, 4 figures. v3: 1) Corrected errors in the numerical implementation of B->K ll at low q^2 with chirality-flipped operators, 2) added missing systematic uncertainties in B->K^(*) form factors from the lattice, 3) removed erroneously used high q^2 observables from data set "selection". Updated tables and figures, and a slightly revised conclusion. The main conclusions are unaffected
