Intriguing results for tests of the universality of electrons and muons through measurements of rates of $B\to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ and similar decays have been in the spotlight for years. The LHCb collaboration has recently reported new…

We review a new method in order to determine the parameter $\bar{\eta}$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix from $K\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ decays, using interference effects in the time-dependent decay rate. Furthermore, we discuss a…

We study the rare $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\mu^+\mu^-$ decay in the Standard Model and beyond. Beyond the Standard Model we include new vector and axial-vector operators, scalar and pseudo-scalar operators, and tensor operators in the effective…

The Belle-II experiment has recently reported the first measurement of $B^+ \to K^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ decay which exceeds the Standard Model prediction by approximately 2.7$\sigma$. The deviation may indicate the presence of new physics beyond…

Studies of rare decays play an important role in the search of physics beyond the standard model. New particles may participate in the loop processes and can be probed by seeing any deviations from the standard model predictions. The very…

The analysis of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ flavor-changing neutral current decays is a powerful test of the Standard Model (SM). Due to the strong suppression of these modes in the SM, potential New Physics contributions can have a significant…

We report a search for charmless hadronic decays of neutral B mesons to the final state K+K-pi0. The results are based on a 711 fb^-1 data sample that contains 772x10^6 BB-bar pairs, and was collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle…

This talk covers recent theoretical progress in exclusive semileptonic rare B-decays at low hadronic recoil. The efficient parametric suppression of the 1/mb corrections in this region provides opportunities to probe the Standard Model and…

We study the decay B --> K l^+ l^- for l = e,mu,tau with a softly recoiling kaon, that is, for high dilepton invariant masses sqrt{q^2} of the order of the b-quark mass. This kinematic region can be treated within an operator product…

In order to determine the ratio of CKM matrix elements |V_{ub}/V_{cb}| (and |V_{ub}|), we propose a new model-independent method based on the heavy quark effective theory, which is theoretically described by the phase space factor and the…

We investigate the possibility of indirectly constraining the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\tau^+\tau^-$ decay rate using precise data on the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\mu^+\mu^-$ dimuon spectrum. To this end, we estimate the distortion of the spectrum induced by…

The weak interaction between the first and second generation of quarks, the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix (CKM) element |Vus|, can be probed using hadronic tau decays. In this paper, we present the recent measurements of hadronic tau…

Due to its comparatively theoretical ``simplicity'', the decay channel $B\to\rho e \nu$ offers one of the best possibilities to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ accurately. I present a new calculation of the relevant hadronic…

In this letter we revisit the Standard Model predictions for $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{(\ast)}\nu\bar{\nu})$ and discuss the opportunities that open up when combining its partial decay rate with that of $B\to K^{(\ast)}\ell\ell$. In the Standard…

Results on $B \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decays with the CMS experiment are reported, using 61 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded during LHC Run 1 and 2016. With an improved muon identification algorithm and refined unbinned maximum likelihood fitting…

The decays $B_c^+ \to B_{a} \bar \ell \nu_\ell$ and $B_c^+ \to B_{a}^{*}(\to B_a \gamma) \bar \ell \nu_\ell$, with $a=s,d$ and $\ell=e,\mu$, are studied in the Standard Model (SM) and in the extension based on the low-energy Hamiltonian…

The rare $B \to K^{(*)} \bar{\ell} \ell$ decays exhibit a long-standing tension with Standard Model (SM) predictions, which can be attributed to a lepton-universal short-distance $b \to s \bar{\ell} \ell$ interaction. We present two novel…

The observation of $B \to \tau \bar{\mu} + \mu \bar{\tau} $ at present experiments would be a clear sign of new physics. In this paper we calculate this process in a 2HDM framework where the decay is mediated by the exchange of spin zero…

We present a determination of the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $V_{cb}$ using $B\to D\ell\nu$ decays. The result is based on $e^+e^-\to\Upsilon(4S)$ data recorded by the Belle II detector corresponding to…

A measurement of the phase difference between the short- and long-distance contributions to the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decay is performed by analysing the dimuon mass distribution. The analysis is based on $pp$ collision data…
