Abstract

Radiative and electroweak decays of B mesong (B to X_{s(d)}{\gamma} and B to X_{s(d)}\ell\ell, respectively, where X is a hadronic system and s or d labels the underlying quark process b to s(d)\gamma) provide good places to search for new physics (NP) beyond the standard model. Recent BaBar measurements are reported: inclusive BF(B to X_s \gamma), direct CP asymmetry for inclusive X_s {\gamma} and X_{s+d} {\gamma}, and searches for the rare decays B to \pi(\eta)\ell\ell. No evidence for NP was found, but several constraints are discussed.
