Description

Rare decays, i.e. decays that are expected to have very small branching fractions, are sensitive to new physics beyond the Standard Model. The large samples of BB-bar pairs accumulated at the B factories provide good opportunities to measure such decay modes. We present a review of recent measurements including hadronic- electroweak-penguin decays, as well as leptonic decays.
