Abstract
Rare flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) decays of top, beauty and charm quarks can provide a powerful probe for as yet unobserved particles. Recent results on FCNC , and transitions from the LHC experiments are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the angular distribution of the decay, where a measurement performed by LHCb shows a local discrepancy of 3.7 standard deviations with respect to the SM prediction. Using the decay , LHCb have also been able to demonstrate the polarisation of photons produced in transitions. More work is needed both experimentally and theoretically to understand if the Standard Model description of these rare FCNC processes is correct.
