We examine the indirect effects of new physics on a variety of processes in the $B$ system, such as the $Z\to b\bar b$ vertex, the decays $B\to X_s \gamma$ and $B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^-$, and CP violation. {Presented at the 4th International…
The updated CLEO measurement of the electromagnetic penguin process $B \to X_s \gamma$ is presented and compared to the ALEPH result. Implications on new physics are discussed and the status of recent searches for $B \to X_s l^+ l^-$ modes…
Recent CLEO results on the search for CP violation in decays of B and D mesons and tau lepton are reviewed. New data on ``wrong-sign'' D decays and B to K(*)l+l-$ FCNC transitions are presented. As possible Standard Model contribution to…
I discuss the theoretical and empirical status of $b \to s \gamma$, $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays, as well as their future prospects. I emphasize those observables in rare $b$-decays which can potentially establish new physics and…

Physics beyond the Standard Model could be measured indirectly, through its effects on Standard Model observables. One place to look for such effects is in the semileptonic decays of B mesons. In order to constrain the possible role of new…
The radiative decay b to s gamma is examined in the Standard Model and in nine classes of models which contain physics beyond the Standard Model. The constraints which may be placed on these models from the recent results of the CLEO…
I review the signals for New Physics in CP-violating measurements in B and Lambda_b decays. I also discuss ways of identifying this New Physics, should such a signal be found.
Attributing the recent CLEO discovery of $B \to \eta' + X_s$ to originate (primarily) from the fragmentation of an off-shell gluon ($g^*$) via $b \to s + g^*$, $g^* \to g + \eta'$, we emphasize that many such states ($X_g$) should…
Decays of B mesons offer interesting probes to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Thanks to the data taking at the LHC, we are at the beginning of a new era of precision B physics. I will discuss recent developments concerning…
An overview of recent theoretical developments in rare leptonic B decays is given. New physics effects on branching ratio and CP violation in the decays are analyzed in models beyond SM (supersymmetric models and two Higgs doublet models).
Rare decays of heavy-flavoured particles provide an ideal laboratory to look for deviations from the Standard Model, and explore energy regimes beyond the LHC reach. Decays proceeding via electroweak penguin diagrams are excellent probes to…
The rare decay B to K* (to K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics since its angular distribution gives access to many observables that offer new important tests of the Standard Model and its extensions. We…
$B$ decays proceeding via $b\to c\ell\nu$ transitions with $\ell=e$ or $\mu$ are tree-level processes in the Standard Model. They are used to measure the CKM element $V_{cb}$, as such forming an important ingredient in the determination of…
The search for New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM) has been a central focus of particle physics, including in the context of $B$-meson decays involving $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions. These transitions, mediated by…
It is generally believed that the decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the best modes to search for physics beyond the standard model. The angular distribution enables the independent measurement of several observables as a function…
We present an overview of the recent neutral current $B$ decays focusing on the deviations with respect to the Standard Model predictions that are observed in $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ transitions, and discuss their implications for new…
Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…
Recent results from CLEO on $B\to K\pi$ indicate that the phase $\gamma$ may be substantially different from that obtained from other fit to the KM matrix elements in the Standard Model. We show that $\gamma$ extracted using $B\to K\pi,…
