The anomalously large experimentally measured ratios of the semitauonic decay $B\rightarrow D^{(*)} +\tau+\nu$ and the corresponding semileptonic $B\rightarrow D^{*} +\l+\bar{\nu}_l$ disagree with the predictions of the standard E.W + QCD…
Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the semileptonic decays Bs -> Ds+ X mu nu and Bs -> D0 K+ X mu nu are detected. Two structures are observed in the D0 K+ mass…
Non-leptonic two-body decays are discussed on the basis of a generalized factorization approach. It is shown that a satisfactory description of numerous decay processes can be given using the same two parameters a_1^{eff} and a_2^{eff}.…
We present a concise review of the theoretical status of the rare semileptonic B -> X_s l^+ l^- decays in the standard model. Particular attention is thereby devoted to the recent theoretical progress concerning, on the one hand the…
We report search results for the flavor-changing neutral current process b --> d gamma with a data sample containing 274 million B meson pairs accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. We studied the…
Rare B meson decays are an excellent probe for beyond the Standard Model physics. Two very sensitive processes are the Bs(d) -> \mu^{+} \mu^{-} and b -> s\mu^{+}\mu^{-} decays. We report recent results at a center of mass energy of sqrt{s}…
We compute the branching ratios for the radiative rare decays of B into K-Meson states and compare them to the experimentally determined branching ratio for inclusive decay b -> s gamma using non relativistic quark model, and form factor…
Simple dynamics, few available decay channels, and highly controlled radiative and loop corrections, make pion and muon decays a sensitive means of exploring details of the underlying symmetries. We review the current status of the rare…
We report a preliminary branching fraction of (1.80 +/- 0.37(stat.) +/- 0.23(syst.)) x 10^-4 for the charmless exclusive semileptonic B+ -> pi0 l+ nu decay, where l can be either a muon or an electron. This result is based on data…
We present the results of a search for the decay B0 --> tau+tau- in a data sample of (232 +- 3) x 10^6 Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar decays using the BABAR detector. Certain extensions of the Standard Model predict measurable levels of this…
Recent results from the first phase of the E787 experiment and an update on the current status are presented. From the first phase the limit on the K+ -> pi+ nu nu (pnn) branching ratio is BR(pnn) < 2.4e-9 (90%CL). An observation of the…
The three-body decay $B^0(B_s)\to \gamma\nu \bar{\nu}$ can occur via penguin and box diagrams in the standard model (SM). These channels are useful to determine the decay constants $f_B$ ($f_{B_s}$) and $B$ ($B_s$) meson wave function.…
We report on the evidence for the decays B0 -> Ds+ pi- and B0 -> Ds- K+ and the results of a search for the decays B0 -> Ds*+ pi- and B0 -> Ds*-K+ from a sample of 84 million Upsilon(4S) decays into B meson pairs collected with the BABAR…
We present recent results of the rare semileptonic decay B -> X_s l+ l-. We particularly focus on higher order electroweak corrections in the Standard Model (SM) as well as O(alpha_s) corrections in Two-Higgs-doublet models (THDM), both of…
We report the result of a search for the rare decay B^0 -> gamma gamma in 426 fb-1 of data, corresponding to 226 million B^0 \bar{B}^0 pairs, collected on the Upsilon(4S) resonance at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider using the…
B decays in and beyond the standard model are reviewed. I specifically discuss right-handed B decays, rare B decays, B_c decays, B_s-B_s(bar) mixing, and T violation. (Plenary talk given at the `Workshop on B Physics at Hadron…
We have performed a search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decays B --> pi l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-, using a sample of 230 million Y(4S)-->BBbar decays collected with the BABAR detector. We observe no evidence of a…
We present a search for the flavor-changing neutral current decay B0_s -> phi mu+ mu- using about 0.45 fb^-1 of data collected in p \bar p collisions at sqrt{s} =1.96 TeV with the D{\O}detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We find an…
The Standard Model predicts a branching ratio for the decay mode Bs -> mu mu of (3.4 +/- 0.5)10e-9, while some SUSY models predict enhancements up to 2 orders of magnitude. It is expected that at the end of its life Tevatron will set and…
We discuss some topics concerning exclusive non-leptonic B decays. In particular we focus on Bs->KK decays, for which we present complementary predictions within the SM, as well as the impact that SUSY would have on the CP observables. We…
