The semileptonic decays $\bar{B}\to D(D^*)\pi\ell\bar{\nu}$ are analyzed by heavy quark and chiral symmetries. The branching ratio is of order of a few percent for $\dpi$, but it is much smaller for $\dstar$, of order $10^{-4}-10^{-5}$. The…
Some rare hadronic decays of B mesons, such as B->pi K, are sensitive to isospin-violating contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. Although commonly referred to as electroweak penguins, such contributions can often arise…
Rare decays of $B$ mesons to radiative final states serve as an ideal ground to search for New Physics effects from short range contributions. Observed by CLEO in the early 1990s as one of the first transitions of the electroweak penguin…
We study elelctroweak penguin contributions in pure hadronic $B$ decays in the Standard and two-Higgs-doublet models. We find that in $B_s\rightarrow \pi^0 (\eta\;, \phi)$ and $B_s\rightarrow \rho^0 (\eta\;, \phi)$ decays, the electroweak…

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…
Presented are selected results of semileptonic B decays at BaBar. Two measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ are reported. One using moments of the hadronic-mass spectrum in inclusive $\bar{B} \to X_{c}…

It is argued that, in the presence of soft final-state interactions, the diagrammatic amplitude approach adopted in many analyses of hadronic B decays into light mesons can be misleading when used to deduce the unimportance of certain decay…
The Belle and Belle II experiments have collected a 1.3 ab$^{-1}$ sample of $e^+e^-\to B\bar B$ collisions at $\Upsilon(4S)$ centre-of-mass energy. This is ideal environment to search for rare electroweak penguin $B$ decays and notably…
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…
