We study the (tree-level) weak radiative decays of $B$ mesons. We present a numerical estimate for the inclusive $b \to X_c \gamma (\gamma)$ modes based on the free-quark decay. We then review what is known for the $B \to D^\star \gamma$…

V-spin symmetry ($s \leftrightarrow d$ symmetry) forbids the radiative decay $\Xi_{c2}^{0*} \rightarrow \Xi_{c1}^0 \gamma$ in the SU(3) limit. The quark mass term breaks V-spin symmetry and the leading nonanalytic contribution to the…

We investigate the radiative dileptonic decays $B_s(B_d)\to\gamma l^+l^-$ within the standard model. Using the constituent quark model, the branching ratios turn out to be around $5\times 10^{-9}$ for $B_s\to \gamma \mu^+\mu^- $ and around…
The three-body decay $B^0(B_s)\to \gamma\nu \bar{\nu}$ can occur via penguin and box diagrams in the standard model (SM). These channels are useful to determine the decay constants $f_B$ ($f_{B_s}$) and $B$ ($B_s$) meson wave function.…
