Several deviations from the Standard Model predictions have been recently observed in the decays mediated by $b \rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ transitions. These could be pointing towards new vector-current contributions or could be explained by…
We present an overview of rare K, D and B decays. Particular attention is devoted to those flavour-changing neutral-current processes of K and B mesons that offer the possibility of new significant tests of the Standard Model. The…
Rare B decays permit stringent tests of the Standard Model and allow searches for new physics. Several rare radiative-decay studies of the B meson from the BaBar collaboration are described. So far no sign for new physics was discovered.
The rare decays of mesons are higher order effects in weak interactions. The main contributions to such decay processes are from the Z-penguin, the photonpenguin and the box diagram. At the quark level, these contributions are well known.…
Results are presented for the two-body decays of mesons into light neutralinos and from the first complete calculation of the loop-induced decays of kaons to pions plus light neutralinos and of B mesons to kaons plus light neutralinos. The…
Rare $B$-meson decays, suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) by the GIM mechanism, are sensitive probes of new physics. In particular, loop-level $b \to s$ transitions can reveal effects of heavy virtual particles such as vector-like quarks…
CP violating phenomena and rare decays of $B_s$ mesons offer interesting probes to test the quark-flavor sector of the Standard Model. In view of plenty of data reported in particular from the Large Hadron Collider, this topic has received…
This paper is a written version of a talk on rare (FCNC) D meson decays as presented at the Electroweak Moriond 2002. The presentation proceeds in two parts. We first consider Standard Model predictions, taking into account both…
The electroweak structures of the FCNC-induced rare and radiative K decays are presented. While the former decays are sensitive to short-distance physics and offer exceptional probes for new physics, the latter are dominated by…
B physics represents a privileged place to look for supersymmetry (SUSY) through its virtual effects. Here we discuss rare B decays ($b \to s \gamma$, $b \to s g$, $b \to s l^{+} l^{-}$) and $B-\bar{B}$ oscillations in the context of…
We review selected topics in the field of nonleptonic and rare B meson decays. We concentrate in particular on exclusive channels, discussing recent developments based on the concepts of factorization in QCD and the heavy-quark limit.
The rare decays of $\Lambda_b$ baryon governed by the quark level transitions $ b \to s$, are investigated in the fourth quark generation model popularly known as SM4. Recently it has been shown that SM4, which is a very simple extension of…
Rare decays are flavour changing neutral current processes that are loop-suppressed in the Standard Model (SM). New particles in SM extensions can therefore give significant contributions, modifying branching fractions and angular…
Rare semileptonic decays of B and B_c mesons are investigated in the framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. Form factors parametrizing the matrix elements of the weak transitions…
Rare $B$, $D$ and $K$ decays provide interesting probes of the Standard Model (SM), with a potential sensitivity to New Physics (NP) higher than other, more common, decays. Their experimental measurement is challenging, and their…
We conduct a systematic study of the impact of new physics in quark-level $b \to c \bar{c} s$ transitions on $B$-physics, in particular rare $B$-decays and $B$-meson lifetime observables. We find viable scenarios where a sizable effect in…
Rare B meson decays are an excellent probe for beyond the Standard Model physics. Two very sensitive processes are the Bs(d) -> \mu^{+} \mu^{-} and b -> s\mu^{+}\mu^{-} decays. We report recent results at a center of mass energy of sqrt{s}…
We investigate the effect of scalar leptoquarks and family non-universal $Z^\prime$ boson on the rare leptonic decays of $B_{s, d}^*$ mesons, mediated by the FCNC transitions $b \to (d, s) l^+ l^-$. They are sensitive to a variety of new…
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…
In this proceeding we will review the current theoretical status of rare $B$ decays. These decays are indeed excellent indirect probes for New Physics searches, and in the current situation where no new states have been directly observed at…
