In this talk, a wide range of recently published results on rare B decays from BABAR and Belle are covered. The decays of B->XsGamma, B->K(*)l+l-, and lepton-number violation in B decays are measured for new physics searches.
A study of various bottomonium states, in Y(2S)-> gamma (b b-bar) decays, reconstructed exclusively in 26 hadronic final states is presented. The study is performed using a data sample recorded at the Y(2S) resonance with the Belle detector…
Branching fraction and effective lifetime measurements of the rare decay $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and searches for the decays $B^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-\gamma$ are reported using proton-proton collision data collected with the…
We report on a search for the rare decay B0bar --> D*0 gamma, which in the standard model is dominated by W-exchange. The analysis is based on a data sample comprising 87.8 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II…
The extremely small branching ratio of $b\to ss{\bar d}$ decay in the Standard Model makes it a suitable channel to explore new-physics signals. We study this $\Delta S=2$ process in Randall-Sundrum models, including the custodially…
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…
We study the big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) scenario with late-decaying exotic particles with lifetime longer than $\sim 1$ sec. With a late-decaying particle in the early universe, predictions of the standard BBN scenario can be…
We study the structure-dependent contributions to the radiative baryonic $B$ decays of $B \to {\bf B}{\bf \bar B'}\gamma$ in the standard model. We show that the decay branching ratios of $Br(B \to {\bf B}{\bf \bar B'}\gamma)$ are…
This paper reviews the status of searches and measurements of Bu leptonic decays, concentrating on the most recent results obtained at B-factories. We will describe studies of decays of the type B+ -> ell+ nu and B+ -> ell+ nu gamma.
We present updated and comprehensive Standard Model predictions for the inclusive rare decay $B \to X_s \nu\bar{\nu}$. Using a state-of-the-art determination of the short-distance coefficient, including NLO QCD and electroweak effects, and…
We report several new and updated results from Belle and BABAR for rare hadronic B decays. These include many new results for B decays to eta'X and omegaX and new measurements of the longitudinal polarisation in the decays B -> rho K*.
Recently, the LHC has found several anomalies in exclusive semileptonic b --> s l^+ l^- decays. In this proceeding, we summarize the most important results of our global analysis of the relevant decay modes. After a discussion of the…
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…

Rare b decays provide a unique opportunity to measure Standard Model parameters and probe beyond the Standard Model. We review here the experimentalprogress made in measuring these decays, and the importance of future measurements,…
We establish upper limits on branching fractions for B0 decays to final states where the decay products are purely invisible (i.e., no observable final state particles) and for B0 decays to nu nubar gamma. Within the Standard Model, these…

A complete calculation of the rare three-body decay t --> c h gamma is presented in the framework of the standard model. In the unitary gauge, such a calculation involves about 20 Feynman diagrams. We also calculate this decay in the…
