Rare decays of the $B$ meson are sensitive to new physics effects. Several experimental results on these decays have been difficult to understand within the standard model (SM) though more precise measurements and a better understanding of…
Precision studies of flavour-changing processes involving quarks and leptons provide a number of ways to improve knowledge of the Standard Model and search for physics beyond it. There are excellent short- and mid-term prospects for…
The study of b-hadrons made possible a great number of benchmark results in flavour physics. In recent years a lot of effort in understanding their dynamics has been done. These studies can represent a possible avenue for the discovery of…
We review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model and estimate the resulting CP asymmetries in $B$ decays, taking into account recent experimental and theoretical…
The Large Hadron Collider will be a unique place to find new physics in the next decade. A huge production of b and c quarks will allow a rich programme of Heavy Flavour Physics to be carried out either by the multipurpose experiments ATLAS…
We present results of global fits of all relevant experimental data on rare $b \to s$ decays. We observe significant tensions between the Standard Model predictions and the data. After critically reviewing the possible sources of…
Semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons that proceed via $b\rightarrow u$ and $b\rightarrow c$ transitions, as well as rare leptonic $B$ decays, are fertile grounds for probing new physics beyond the Standard Model. The Belle II experiment…
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…
Strong interactions are addressed in connection to extracting |V_{cb}| and determining heavy quark parameters. A comprehensive approach allows a robust analysis not relying on a 1/m_c expansion; a percent defendable accuracy in |V_{cb}|…
The measurements of several lepton flavor universality (LFU) violating observables in the decays induced by the quark level transition $b \to c \tau \bar{\nu}$ provide an inkling of plausible physics beyond the standard model of electroweak…
We review the current status of theoretical predictions for mixing quantities and lifetimes in the $B$-sector. In particular, due to the first non-zero measurement of the decay rate difference in the neutral $B_s$-system, $\Delta \Gamma_s/…
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…
The exploration of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model is one of the hot topics in particle physics of this decade. In these studies, which show a fruitful interplay between theory and experiment, the B-meson system offers a…
We present preliminary results of a study of the two-body B-meson decays to a charmonium state (ccbar) and a K+ or K*0(892) meson using a sample of about 349 fb-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B…
The existence of New Physics particles can be probed by performing precision measurements of physics phenomena at the few GeV energy scale. The decays of B and D mesons are an excellent example of relatively low energy phenomena that can be…
An important experimental effort has been accomplished in recent years in the measurement of rates, polarization and CP observables in $B$ decays into two light vector mesons. On the theoretical side, after a very consistent effort done…
The recently reported measurements of the CP asymmetry a(psi K) by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations are in good agreement with the standard model prediction. With the anticipated precision in a(psi K) at the B factories and hadron…
We present a sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of the D, Ds, B, and Bs mesons from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents [1]. Our main emphasis is laid on the control over the uncertainties in the decay…
Results by the BaBar and Belle experiments of the measurements $\sin 2\alpha$, $\sin 2\beta$ and $\sin (2\beta + \gamma)$ along with the CKM matrix elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$ are presented. The BaBar and Belle experiments $b \to…
The Belle Collaboration has recently measured the complete set of angular coefficient functions for the exclusive decays $\bar B \to D^* (D \pi) \ell \bar \nu_\ell$, with $\ell=e,\,\mu$, in four bins of the parameter…
