Promising ways to search for New Physics effects in radiative penguin decays are in the angular analysis of $B_{d} \rightarrow K^{*0} \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, in the measurement of direct CP violation in $\B_{d} \rightarrow K^{*0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$…
The Belle and Belle II experiments have collected a 1.2 ab$^{-1}$ sample of collisions at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. These datasets, with low particle multiplicity and constrained initial state…
A measurement of the photon polarization in radiative penguin $B$ decays provides a test of the Standard Model and a probe for New Physics, that can lead to a deviation from the Standard Model prediction of left-handed photons in $b\to s…
The BABAR experiment has completed its first year of data-taking during which 21 $fb^{-1}$ of data were accumulated. We present preliminary results on two types of charmless B decays based on this data sample. The first, $B^0 \to…

We study charmless two-body baryonic B decays in a diagramatic approach. Relations on decay amplitudes are obtained. In general there are more than one tree and more than one penguin amplitudes. The number of independent amplitudes can be…
We present a study of non-leptonic B-meson decays, partial widths and CP asymmetries, and discuss the possibilities of determining the penguin contributions through less model-dependent phenomenological analyses. In the last section we…
The $b\to s(d)$ quark-level transitions are flavor-changing neutral current processes, which are not allowed at tree level in the standard model. These processes are very rare and constitute a potential probe for new physics. Belle II at…
We provide Standard Model expectations for the rare radiative decays B->K^* gamma, B->rho gamma and B-> omega gamma, and the electroweak penguin decays B->K^* l^+ l^- and B->rho l^+ l^- at the next-to-leading order (NLO), extending our…
We summarize some persistent problems in scalar spectroscopy and discuss what could be learned here from charmless B-decays. Recent experimental results are discussed in comparison with theoretical expectations: a simple model based on…
Since 1999, the B-factories collaborations BaBar and Belle have accumulated and studied large samples of tau lepton pairs. We summarize in the following the most interesting recent results.
I report on recent measurements from the Belle and BaBar collaborations on the decay of the B-meson to hadronic final states without a charm quark.
We present the results of searches for rare B meson decays. The measurements use all or part of a data sample of about 88 million $\Upsilon(4S)\to B{\bar B}$ decays collected between 1999 and 2002 with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
We discuss a novel electromagnetic penguin contribution to the transverse helicity amplitudes in B decays to two vector mesons, which is enhanced by two powers of mB/Lambda relative to the standard penguin amplitudes. This leads to unique…
We report measurements of Time-Dependent CP asymmetries in several $b\to s$ penguin dominated hadronic B decays, where New Physics contributions may appear. We find no significant discrepancies with respect to the Standard Model…
We review recent experimental results on hadronic decays and lifetimes of hadrons containing b and c quarks. We discuss charm counting and the semileptonic branching fraction in B decays, the color suppressed amplitude in B decay, and the…
We report the recent measurements performed using the data sample collected from 2019 to 2022 by the Belle~II experiment~\cite{Belle2:TDR} at $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $362~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. We…
The discrepancies found in the B->pi K decays between theory and experiment suggest the presence of new physics in the electroweak penguin sector of the theory. We show that this hypothesis can be tested more efficiently including in the…
