Description
Precision measurements of rare particle decays have gained significant interest as a way of indirectly searching for new physics. In these indirect searches, the properties of the rare decays are measured to a high precision in order to look for discrepancies between the experiment and the SM predictions that could be caused by new particles intervening with the decay. This contribution describes an ongoing measurement of the branching ratio of the rare decay $B^+ \rightarrow K^+\pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ using data from the LHCb experiment at CERN.
