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…

Similar to other heavy flavor mesons, the weak decays of $D^*_{(s)}$ mesons can provide a platform to verify the standard model, explore new physics, and understand the mechanisms of weak interactions. At present, the theoretical and…
We evaluate the matrix elements for the radiative kaon decays $K^+ \to l^+\nu_l\gamma$, $l^+ \nu_l l'^+ l'^-$ and $K \to \pi l \nu_l\gamma$ \ ($l,\ l' = e,\mu$) to next-to-leading order in chiral perturbation theory. We calculate total…

Adding a hard photon to the final state of a leptonic pseudoscalar-meson decay lifts the helicity suppression and can provide sensitivity to a larger set of operators in the weak effective Hamiltonian. Furthermore, radiative leptonic $B$…
