A wealth of data on hadronic b -> s transitions is available from the B-factories and will be improved at the LHCb experiment and possible future super-B-factories. I review the theory of these decays as it pertains to the search for…
Semileptonic exclusive tau decays in the Standard Model are reviewed. As it is well-known, they are a privileged arena to learn about low-energy hadronization. They also allow for a number of clean new physics tests, which have attracted…
Although the Standard Model has been firmly established, the search for physics beyond the SM is ongoing by investigating new experimental probes. Rare charm decays are a unique tool to access New Physics studies. The high luminosity…
We present allowed regions in the space of observables of certain non-leptonic B-meson decays that characterize these modes within the Standard Model. A future measurement of observables lying significantly outside of these regions would…
The persistent tensions between inclusive and exclusive determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ weaken the power of theoretically clean rare $K$ and $B$ decays in the search for new physics (NP). We demonstrate how this uncertainty can…
A review is presented of the current status of experimental searches for physics beyond the standard model in rare $\tau$ decays.
In this paper the potential for the discovery of new physics in the exclusive decay $\bar{B}_d \to \bar{K}^{*0} \mu^+ \mu^-$ is discussed. Attention is paid to constructing observables which are protected from uncertainties in QCD form…
The rare B decays Bs(d)-->\mu\mu, B-->K*\mu\mu and Bs-->\phi\gamma are studied using up to \sim 0.41 fb^{-1} of pp collisions at \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV collected by the \lhcb experiment in 2010 and 2011. A search for the decays Bs(d)-->\mu\mu, is…
The decay width, forward-backward asymmetry and lepton longitudinal and transversal polarization for the exclusive K^* -> l^+ l^- decay in a two Higgs doublet model are computed. It is shown that all these quantities are very effective…
We review some selected rare B decays calculated in next-to-leading order accuracy in the Standard Model (SM). These include the radiative decays $B \to (X_s,K^*,\rho)\gamma$ and the semileptonic decays $B \to (X_s,K,K^*) \ell^+ \ell^-$,…
The rare and forbidden processes within the Standard Model offer an opportunity to explore potential new physics beyond the SM. We summarize the research method and the recent results of rare charm decays at BESIII based on the extensive…
Rare B decays allow to investigate fundamental interactions regarding their flavor, chiral, Dirac and CP properties. In anticipation of the large data samples of exclusive B decays into muons from the forthcoming LHC experiments, in…
Motivated by the experimental accessibility of rare $B$ decays in the ongoing and planned experiments, we propose to undertake a model-independent analysis of the inclusive decay rates and distributions in the processes \bgamaxs~ and \Bsell…
We study the decays of $B\to K^{(*)} \ell^{+} \ell^{-}$ in split supersymmetry with R-parity violation. We find that the decay branching ratio of $B\to K\tau^+\tau^-$ in the new physics model due to the scalar interactions can be $1.8\times…
For any new physics possibly emerging in the future B experiments, the problem is how to extract the signals from the SM background. We consider the decay $b\to s s\bar d$ which is very small in the SM. In the MSSM this decay is possibly…
With their 2010-2011 data set, the LHC experiments have started their quest to observe the rare decays B0_{s/d} -> mu+ mu-. This study will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics (NP) effects. NP discovery potential lies as well in…
New physics effects in $B$ decays are routinely modeled through operators invariant under the strong and electromagnetic gauge symmetries. Assuming the scale for new physics is well above the electro-weak scale, we further require…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
We briefly review the status of rare radiative and semileptonic $b \to s (\gamma, \ell^+ \ell^-)$, ($\ell=e,\mu$) decays. We discuss possible signatures of new physics in these modes and emphazise the role of the exclusive channels. In…
This report summarizes the latest experimental results on radiative and electroweak rare B meson decays. These rare decay processes proceed through the flavor changing neutral current processes, and thus sensitive to the postulated new…
