The rare decay B_s -> mu^+ mu^- provides an important constraint on possible deviations from the Standard Model in b-s-l-l interactions. The present weighted average of its branching ratio measurements amounts to (3.34 \pm 0.27) x 10^-9,…
We combine our new results for the O(alpha_em) and O(alpha_s^2) corrections to B_{s,d} -> l^+ l^-, and present updated branching ratio predictions for these decays in the standard model. Inclusion of the new corrections removes major…
The rare decays $B_{s(d)} \to \mu^+\mu^-$ play a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. An overview of the most recent theoretical predictions of the corresponding branching ratios is given, emphasizing that the sizable decay width…
We calculate the full two-loop electroweak matching corrections to the operator governing the decay B_q --> l^+ l^- in the Standard Model. Their inclusion removes an electroweak scheme and scale uncertainty of about 7% of the branching…
The rare K -> pi nu anti-nu decays play a central role in testing the Standard Model and its extensions. Upcoming experiments plan to measure the decay rates with high accuracy. Yet, unknown higher-order electroweak corrections result in a…
Inspired by the recent observation of the Higgs boson radiative decay into $Z^0$ by {\tt ATLAS} and {\tt CMS} Collaborations, we investigate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) electroweak correction to this rare decay process in Standard Model…
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…
Recent evidence from observation of the flavor-changing neutral current decay B_s to mu+ mu- by the LHCb collaboration B(B_s to mu^+ mu^-) = (3.2 * 10^{-9}), is consistent with the latest standard model prediction B(B_s to mu^+ mu^-) =…
We investigate the ${\bar B_s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay in the presence of a light stabilized radion in Randall-Sundrum model. The branching ratio $BR({\bar B_s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-)$ in the standard model is found to be $3.17 \times 10^{-9}$…
Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…
These proceedings review the differential decay rates and the branching ratios of the tau and muon decays $\tau \to \ell \ell' \ell' \nu \bar\nu$ (with $\ell,\ell'=\mu,e$) and $\mu \to e e e \nu \bar \nu$ in the Standard Model at NLO. These…
I review the status of the rare decays B_s --> mu+mu- and B_d --> mu+mu-. The latest Standard Model predictions for the corresponding branching ratios are discussed. An overview of additional observables that are accessible in the B_s -->…
Two loop electroweak corrections to b --> s gamma decays are computed. Fermion and photonic loop effects are found to reduce R = BR(b --> s gamma)/BR(b --> c e nu) by 8+-2% and lead to the standard model prediction BR(B --> X_s gamma)=(3.28…
The recently measured B -> tau nu branching ratio allows to test the Standard Model by probing virtual effects of new heavy particles, such as a charged Higgs boson. The accuracy of the test is currently limited by the experimental error on…
We present an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within the Standard Model (SM), in a model-independent manner, and in a number of new physics (NP) models. Combining new form factor…
The B_s to mu+ mu- decay plays an outstanding role in tests of the Standard Model and physics beyond it. The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the first evidence for this decay at the 3.5 sigma level, with a branching ratio in the…
We study model-independently the implications of non-standard scalar and pseudoscalar interactions for the decays b ->s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+l^- (l=e,mu) and B_s -> mu^+ mu^-. We find sizeable renormalization effects from scalar and…
Deviations from the standard model prediction have been observed in several leptonic and semileptonic $B$ meson decays to $\tau\nu$ final states mediated via $b \to u$ and $b \to c$ charged current interactions. The measured value of ratio…
I present the Standard Model calculation of the decay rate for b -> s g (g denotes a gluon) at next-to-leading logarithms (NLL). In order to get a meaningful physical result, the decay b -> s g g and certain contributions of b -> s \bar{f}…
Recently hints of lepton flavor non-universality emerged when the BaBar Collaboration observed deviations from the standard model predictions in $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv {\cal B}({\bar B} \to D^{(*)+} \tau^- {\bar\nu}_\tau) / {\cal B}({\bar B}…
