We obtain predictions for a number of radiative decays $B_{(s)}\to V\gamma$, $V$ the vector meson, which proceed through the weak-annihilation mechanism. Within the factorization approximation, we take into account the photon emission from…
We give predictions for the branching ratios of several rare radiative B-decays which proceed only through weak annihilation mechanism. In addition to previous analysis we estimate the branching ratios of $\bar{B}^0_s\to D^{*0}\gamma$ and…
We obtain predictions for $B_{(s)}\to e^+e^-\gamma$ and $B_{(s)}\to \mu^+\mu^-\gamma$ decays. All the contributions containing long-distance QCD effects are calculated in the framework of relativistic quark model. The contributions of the…
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 $B \to D^\star \gamma$…
We investigate the physics potential of the annihilation decays $\bar{B}^0_{s,d} \to J/\psi$ $\gamma$ in the Standard Model and beyond. In naive factorization approach, the branching ratios are estimated to be $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}^0_s \to…
We calculate the contribution of the weak annihilation to the $B\rightarrow \rho\gamma$ decay amplitude by means of QCD sum rules using the photon light-cone wave function. We find that this long-distance contribution amounts to about 10\%…
Exclusive weak radiative B meson decays are studied using the covariant oscillator quark model. The branching ratios for the processes B0 to K*0 gamma and B to K* gamma have been estimated. These are in reasonable agreement with the…
We study the decay $B_c \rightarrow D_s^* \gamma$. There are two mechanisms contributing to the process. One proceeds through the short distance $b{\rightarrow}s\gamma$ transition and the other occurs through weak annihilation accompanied…
A class of meson decay modes sensitive to only one quark topology at leading G_F order (annihilation of valence quarks through a W) is described. No experimental observations, nor even upper limits, have been reported for these decays. This…
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.…
The exclusive rare radiative $B$-decays are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach in quantum field theory. The large recoil momentum of the final vector meson allows for the expansion…
Weak radiative decays of the B mesons belong to the most important flavor changing processes that provide constraints on physics at the TeV scale. In the derivation of such constraints, accurate standard model predictions for the inclusive…
We investigate the pure annihilation type radiative $B$ meson decays $B^0 \to \phi \gamma$ and $B_s \to \rho^0(\omega)\gamma$ in the soft-collinear effective theory. We consider three types of contributions to the decay amplitudes,…
With the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization, we study the pure annihilation type radiative decays $B^0 \to \phi\gamma$ and $B^0\to J/\psi \gamma$. We find that the branching ratio of $B^0 \to \phi\gamma$ is…
We calculate the branching ratios of $B\to K_1\gamma$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) of $\alpha_s$ where $K_1$ is the orbitally excited axial vector meson. The NLO decay amplitude is divided into the vertex correction and the hard spectator…
In this work, we use the QCD sum rule method to study the radiative decays of the vector and axial-vector $B_c$ mesons to each of three charmed strange mesons, $D_s$, $D^*_s$ and $D_{s1}$, through their dominant weak annihilation channels.…
A search for the rare decay of a $B^{0}$ or $B^{0}_{s}$ meson into the final state $J/\psi\gamma$ is performed, using data collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated…
We study the decay B\to X_s\gamma in a minimal extension of the standard model with extra up- and down-type quarks whose left- and right-handed components are both SU(2) singlets. Constraints on the extended Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix…
