We calculate the decay rate B-> X_s photon photon via intermediate psuedoscalar charmonium eta_c. This process is thought to be the main long-distance contribution which dominates the corresponding inclusive rare B decay. We point out that…
The exclusive decay modes $B \to K \gamma\gamma$ and $B_s \to \eta (\eta') \gamma\gamma$ are shown to have significant branching ratios of approximately $0.5\times 10^{-7}$. This first calculation of these modes employs a model based on a…
In a sample of 19 million produced B mesons we have observed decays B -> eta K*, and improved our previous measurements of B -> eta' K. The branching fractions we measure for these decay modes are B(B+ -> eta K*+) = (27.3 +9.6 -8.2 (stat)…
In a sample of 6.6 million produced B mesons we have observed decays B -> eta' K, with branching fractions BR(B+ -> eta' K+ = 6.5 +1.5 -1.4 +- 0.9) x $10^{-5}$ and BR(B0 -> eta' K0 = 4.7 +2.7 -2.0 +- 0.9) x $10^{-5}$. We have searched with…
We investigate a new method to probe the helicity of the photon emitted in the b -> s gamma transition. The method relies on the observation of interference effects between two resonance contributions, B -> K*(K gamma) gamma and B ->…

Short and long distance contributions to the exclusive B-decays into various K-resonances and dileptons, i.e. B --> Ki l l ( l = e, mu , nu ), are examined. The heavy quark effective theory has been used to calculate the hadronic matrix…
The decay rates for the exclusive B decays $B \rightarrow K \eta_c $ and $B \rightarrow K^* \eta_c$ are calculated in the context of the heavy quark effective theory. We obtain $\Gamma (B \rightarrow K \eta_c )/\Gamma (B\rightarrow K\psi…

We consider the hadronic B decays B0bar -> D0 eta, B0bar -> D*0 eta, B0bar -> D0 eta', B0bar -> D*0 eta' in the framework of a quark-flavour basis and factorization. The formalism allows to compute the decays to the eta meson and to relate…
We report measurements of radiative B decays with K eta gamma final states, using a data sample of 140 /fb recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric energy collider. We observe B -> K eta…
We obtain predictions for $B_{(s)}\to e^+e^-\gamma$ and $B_{(s)}\to \mu^+\mu^-\gamma$ decays. All the contributions containing long-distance QCD effects are calculated in the framework of relativistic quark model. The contributions of the…
We compute B->K eta' branching ratio using perturbative QCD approach. We show that a triangular relation among amplitudes for B^0->K^0 pi^0, B^0->K^0 eta, B^0->K^0 eta' receives large corrections from SU(3) breaking effects. If experimental…
Motivated by recent measurements of the radiative decay rates of the \emph{P}-wave spin singlet charmonium $h_c$ to the light meson $\eta$ or $\eta^\prime$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we investigate the decay rates of these channels at…
We calculate the branching ratios of the hadronic \Lambda_b decays to \eta and \eta^\prime in the factorization approximation where the form factors are estimated via QCD sum rules and the pole model. Our results indicate that, contrary to…
We report the results of the first computation related to the study of the spectator effects in the rare decay mode $B\to K \gamma \gamma $ within the framework of Standard Model. It is found that the account of these effects results in the…
This note describes the rediscovery of $B\to\eta' K$ decays in Belle II data, both in the charged and neutral final state: $B_0\to\eta' K_S$ and $B^\pm\to\eta' K^\pm$. The $\eta'$ is searched for in two decay modes: $\eta'\to\eta\pi^+\pi^-$…
We present the results of a search for the radiative decay (B -> K eta' gamma) and find evidence for (B^+ -> K^+ eta' gamma) decays at the 3.3 standard deviation level with a partial branching fraction of (3.6 +/- 1.2 +/- 0.4) x 10e-6,…
We propose a mechanism which can explain the large BR(B-> X_s eta')~ 10^(-3) observed by CLEO. In this mechanism, eta' is produced by the fusion of two gluons, one from QCD penguin b->sg and the other one emitted by the light quark inside…
The radiative B -> tau^+ tau^- gamma decay is investigated in the framework of the Standard Model. When only short (short and long together) distance contributions are taken into account, the Branching Ratio is found as 9.54x10^(-9)…
