We perform an analysis of the K* polarization states in the exclusive B meson decay B0->K*0(-> K- pi+)l+ l- (l=e, mu, tau) in the low dilepton mass region, where the final vector meson has a large energy. Working in the transversity basis,…

We study the impact of B->Kpill decays on B->K*(->Kpi)ll, taking into account the K* at finite width. Interference effects can generically be sizable, up to O(10%), but are reduced in several ratios of observables of the angular…

I review the phenomenology of exclusive Bbar -> Kbar pi l^+ l^- decays, with focus on the intermediate resonant Kbar^*(892) mode. The status of angular observables at both ends of the dilepton mass spectrum is revisited. Constraints on the…

The recent anomalies in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions could originate from some New Physics beyond the Standard Model. Either to confirm or to rule out this assumption, more tests of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transition are needed. Polarized…

We study the semileptonic $b\to u$ transition in the decay mode $B^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$. We define $B\to \pi \pi$ form factors in the helicity basis, and study their properties in various kinematic limits, including form…

Using the $B\to K_1$ form factors evaluated in the perturbative QCD approach, we study semileptonic $B\to K_1(1270)l^+l^-$ and $B\to K_1(1400)l^+l^-$ decays, where $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ are mixtures of $K_{1A}$ and $K_{1B}$ which are…

We study the exclusive rare decay B -> K l(bar) l. We calculate the relevant form factors within a relativistic constituent quark model, for the first time without employing the impulse approximation. The calculated form factors are used to…

There are some slight tensions with the SM predictions within the latest LHCb measurements. Besides the known anomaly in one angular observable of the rare decay B -> K* mu+ mu-, another small discrepancy recently occurred. The ratio R_K =…
