Using a sample of 3.7 x 10^6$ Upsilon(4S) -> B Bbar events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring, we search for the electroweak penguin decays B+ -> K+ e+ e-, B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-, B0 -> K*0 e+ e-, and B0 -> K*0 mu+ mu-.…
We discuss a novel electromagnetic penguin contribution to the transverse helicity amplitudes in B decays to two vector mesons, which is enhanced by two powers of mB/Lambda relative to the standard penguin amplitudes. This leads to unique…
