We study the decay of the neutral B meson to $K^* \gamma \gamma$ within the framework of the Standard Model, including long distance contributions.
We investigate the rare decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ which receives both short and long distance contributions. We estimate the long distance contributions and find them very small. The form factors are obtained from $\Lambda_c \to…

We study the rare decays of the $B_c$ meson induced by the flavour changing neutral current $c \to u \gamma$ transition. In the Standard Model they are strongly suppressed by the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism, therefore they are…

Flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions $c\to u\gamma$ and $c\to ul^+l^-$ are very rare in the standard model and present an interesting probe for the physics beyond it. We study long distance contamination to these short…
Rare flavour changing neutral current decays of strange, charm and beauty hadrons have been instrumental in building up a picture of flavour in the Standard Model. Increasingly precise measurements of these decays allow to search for…
