We study the loop induced rare decays $B_s(B_d)\to\gamma\nu\bar\nu$ within the standard model. Both constituent quark model and pole model are used and the branching ratios turn out to be of the orders of $10^{-8}$ for $B_s\to \gamma \nu…

We suggest to study the $B_{s}$ and its excitations $B_{sJ}$ in the $B_c$ decays. We calculate the $B_c\to B_{sJ}$ and $B_c\to B_{J}$ form factors within the covariant light-front quark model, where the $B_{sJ}$ and $B_{J}$ denote an s-wave…

The interest to the rare radiative decays of the B-mesons at LHCb is mostly aroused due to the measurement of the photon polarization in the $B_s^0\to\phi\gamma$ decay, which may provide a sensitive probe for the Standard Model. The LHCb…
We derive model-independent bounds on the form factors for the decay $B_c^+ \to \eta_c\, \ell^+\, \nu$ including full mass effects, i.e. $\ell = e,\, \mu, \text{ and } \tau$. The bounds are obtained by using the BGL parameterization for the…
