Rare decays of b hadrons

Abstract: Rare decays of b hadrons provide a powerful way of identifying contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model, in particular from new hypothetical particles too heavy to be produced at colliders. The most relevant experimental measurements are reviewed and possible interpretations are briefly discussed.Comment: Contribution to Scholarpedia. This is the arXiv version with many more references. v5 updates to status at the end of summer 201

“…This model is similar to the leptoquark exchange discussed by many authors [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55], except a general leptoquark also has a right-handed coupling to SU (2) L singlets, which is forbidden in SUSY. These additional right-handed couplings turn out to be important for explaining the g − 2 anomaly of the muon, but they do not play an essential role in explaining the B anomalies that we are discussing.…”

“…I will review some of the key measurements and the theory relevant for their interpretation. This description is anything but comprehensive, for which I refer to some recent excellent references [19][20][21][22] and resources, such as HFAG 23 and FLAG 9 .…”

“…The resulting H e f f can then be expressed as the sum of local operators (O i ), encoding the dynamics of processes, multiplied by effective couplings (C i ) called Wilson coefficients, describing the strength with which the O i enter the H e f f . For b → s + − transitions, the operators that are of particular importance are O 9,10 , which describe the electroweak penguin and the box diagram contributions [1,2]. Measurements of b → s + − transitions are typically performed in several bins of dilepton invariant mass squared (q 2 ).…”
