We calculate the next-to-leading corrections to the branching ratio of exclusive $B\to K^* \gamma$ decay. The renormalization scale dependence is reduced compared to the leading logarithmic result but there remains a dependence on a cutoff…

We discuss the electromagnetic-penguin-dominated radiative B decays $B \to X_s + \gamma, ~B^{\pm (0)} \to K^{*\pm (0)} + \gamma$, and $B_s \to \phi + \gamma$ in the context of the standard model (SM) and their Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…

We study the radiative and semileptonic B decays involving a spin-$J$ resonant $K_J^{(*)}$ with parity $(-1)^J$ for $K_J^*$ and $(-1)^{J+1}$ for $K_J$ in the final state. Using the large energy effective theory (LEET) techniques, we…

We summarize recent progress in the theory of exclusive rare and semileptonic B decays, focusing on model-independent results. The heavy-to-light form factors parameterizing these decays admit a model-independent description in two distinct…

We analyze the dominant decay mechanisms in the radiative decays D -> V gamma, D -> P(V) l+ l-, D -> gamma gamma, D -> l+ l- gamma, and we discuss possible chances to observe the effects of new physics in these decays. Then we comment on…

We report on a calculation of Higgs-boson contributions to the decays B_s -> l^+l^- and B -> K l^+l^- (l=e, mu) which are governed by the effective Hamiltonian describing b -> s l^+ l^-. Compact formulae for the Wilson coefficients are…

We discuss first results for the computation of short distance contributions to semileptonic form factors for the rare $B$ decays $B \to K^{*} \ell^+\ell^-$ and $B_s \to \phi \ell^+ \ell^-$. Our simulations are based on RBC/UKQCD's…

Rare $B$-meson decays, suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) by the GIM mechanism, are sensitive probes of new physics. In particular, loop-level $b \to s$ transitions can reveal effects of heavy virtual particles such as vector-like quarks…

The weak form factor for $B\to K_{1B}$ where $K_{1B}$ is the $^1P_1$ state is calculated in the light-cone sum rules (LCSR). Combining the quark model result for the form factor of $B\to K_{1A}$ with $K_{1A}$ being the $^3P_1$ state, we…

We evaluate the branching ratios of the radiative decays $B \to K^* \gamma $, and $B \to K_1 \gamma $ in the framework of three-point function QCD sum rules. We find: $ \Gamma(B \to K^* \gamma) / \Gamma(b \to s \gamma) = 0.17 \pm 0.05$ and…

Within the Standard Model, we investigate the weak decays of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda + \gamma$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda + l^{+} l^{-}$ with the light-cone sum rules approach. The higher twist distribution amplitudes of $\Lambda$ baryon to…
