Flavour-changing neutral-current processes, such as $b\to s \ell^+\ell^-$, are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model and hence might receive comparatively large corrections from new particles. This document highlights recent…
The experimental information on b --> s l^+ l^- decays has grown enormously during the last couple of years due to BaBar, Belle, CDF and LHCb. Especially, exclusive modes B --> K^(*) l^+ l^-, which have the largest rate and are easily…
We discuss the implications of $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ measurements and their deviations with respect to the Standard Model predictions in a model-independent framework. We highlight in particular the impact of the recent updated…
LHCb, bolstered up by the 10^12 b-hadrons produced yearly, is an excellent place to study rare B decays. The B_s to mu^+ mu^- decay, generated by flavour-changing neutral current, is strongly suppressed within the Standard Model (SM).…
It is generally believed that the decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the best modes to search for physics beyond the standard model. The angular distribution enables the independent measurement of several observables as a function…
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…
Rare semileptonic $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions provide some of the most promising frameworks to search for new physics effects. Recent analyses of these decays have indicated an anomalous behaviour in measurements of angular…
We report the first observation of the flavor-changing neutral current decay $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ and an improved measurement of the decay $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$, where $\ell$ represents an electron or a muon, with a data sample of…
We discuss the status of $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ decays in the post-$R_{K^{(*)}}$ era. The recent LHCb update of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ measurements which are now compatible with the Standard Model, constrain new physics contributions to be…
The long persistent discrepancies in $b\,\to\,s\, \ell\, \ell$ quark level transitions continue to be the ideal platform for an indirect search of new physics that lies beyond the SM. The measurements of $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, $P_5^{\prime}$,…
Rare decays of heavy-flavoured particles provide an ideal laboratory to look for deviations from the Standard Model, and explore energy regimes beyond the LHC reach. Decays proceeding via electroweak penguin diagrams are excellent probes to…
We present an overview of the recent neutral current $B$ decays focusing on the deviations with respect to the Standard Model predictions that are observed in $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ transitions, and discuss their implications for new…
Flavor-changing neutral current decays such as $b \to s \bar{\ell} \ell$ are highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) and therefore provide sensitive tests for new physics. Persistent tensions between SM predictions and experimental…
We report a search for the flavor-changing neutral current decay $B \to K^{(*)} \ell^{+} \ell^{-}$ using a 29.1 fb${}^{-1}$ data sample accumulated at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ storage…
The recent updated angular analysis of the $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ decay by the LHCb collaboration is interpreted by performing a global fit to all relevant measurements probing the flavour-changing neutral current $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$…
Disentangling New Physics effects from the Standard Model requires a good understanding of all pieces that stem from the latter, especially the uncertainties that might plague the theoretical estimations within the Standard Model. In the…
The LHCb experiment, bolstered up by the 10^12 b-hadrons to be produced yearly in its interaction region, is an excellent place to study rare B decays. Flavor-changing neutral currents are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model. They…
Flavour changing neutral current decays mediated by b --> s l^+ l^- were under experimental investigation at B-factories and the Tevatron during the last decade and the final analysis are expected soon. Moreover, new data has been released…
In the Standard Model (SM), the rare transitions where a bottom quark decays into a strange quark and a pair of light leptons exhibit a potential sensitivity to physics beyond the SM. In addition, the SM embeds Lepton Flavour Universality…
The new angular analysis of the decay $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ recently presented by the LHCb Collaboration still indicates some tensions with the Standard Model predictions. There are several ongoing analyses to solve the problem of…
