We study the rare radiative dileptonic decays $B^0(B_s)\to \gamma\ell^+\ell^-$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) in the standard model. By using the $B$ meson wave function constrained by non-leptonic decays, the branching ratios turn out to be of the order…

We derive the QCD$\times$QED factorization theorem governing the leptonic decay $B^-\to\mu^-\bar\nu_\mu(\gamma)$ at all orders in $\alpha_s$ and $\alpha$. Electromagnetic corrections to this decay probe multiple scales, which we disentangle…

Radiative and electroweak decays of B mesong (B to X_{s(d)}{\gamma} and B to X_{s(d)}\ell\ell, respectively, where X is a hadronic system and s or d labels the underlying quark process b to s(d)\gamma) provide good places to search for new…
