Rare $B$, $D$ and $K$ decays provide interesting probes of the Standard Model (SM), with a potential sensitivity to New Physics (NP) higher than other, more common, decays. Their experimental measurement is challenging, and their…
The persistent tensions between inclusive and exclusive determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ weaken the power of theoretically clean rare $K$ and $B$ decays in the search for new physics (NP). We demonstrate how this uncertainty can…

Recent LHCb measurements show small discrepancies with respect to the Standard Model (SM) predictions in selected angular distributions of the mode $B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^+ \mu^-$. The possibility of explaining such tensions within theories…
We compute the decay rate for the CKM-suppressed electromagnetic penguin decay $B \to X_d + \gamma$ (and its charge conjugate) in NLO QCD, including leading power corrections in $1/m_b^2$ and $1/m_c^2$ in the standard model. The average…
We provide Standard Model expectations for the rare radiative decays B->K^* gamma, B->rho gamma and B-> omega gamma, and the electroweak penguin decays B->K^* l^+ l^- and B->rho l^+ l^- at the next-to-leading order (NLO), extending our…
We investigate the exclusive rare semileptonic decays: $B(B_c)\to K(D_{(s)})l\bar{l}/\Sigma\nu_l\bar{\nu_l}$ ($l=\mu, \tau$) in the framework of relativistic independent quark (RIQ) model based on an average flavor independent confining…
The dominant long-distance contributions to the exclusive radiative decays $B \to \rho (\omega) + \gamma$ involve photon emission from the light quarks at large distances, which cannot be treated perturbatively. We point out that this…
We study the decay B\to X_s\gamma in a minimal extension of the standard model with extra up- and down-type quarks whose left- and right-handed components are both SU(2) singlets. Constraints on the extended Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix…

This study examines the rare decay $B \to K_0^*(1430)\,\ell^+ \ell^-$ as a possible probe for new physics beyond the standard model (SM). We first analyze this channel within the SM and then include scalar leptoquark (LQ) contributions. We…
The most common predictions for rare $K$ and $B$ decay branching ratios in the Standard Model are based on the CKM elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ resulting from global fits, that are in the ballpark of their inclusive and exclusive…
We present within the Standard Model the exclusive radiative decays B -> K*/rho gamma and B_(s/d) -> gamma gamma in QCD factorization based on the heavy-quark limit m_b >> Lambda_QCD. For the decays with a vector meson in the final state we…
A mini-review of measurements of inclusive semileptonic $B \to X_c\ell\nu$ and radiative $B\to X_s\gamma$ decays is presented. The semileptonic $X_c$ mass moments are presented from Belle and BABAR. The inclusive $B\to X_s\gamma$ gamma…
