Description

$B$-meson rare decays such as $B \to K(\pi) \ell^+\ell^-$ and $B \to K(\pi) \nu \bar{\nu}$ occur through flavor changing neutral current. They are used to probe new physics signals, because the Standard Model contributions are suppressed. Recent lattice-QCD studies by Fermilab lattice and MILC collaborations improved the accuracy of the form factors which parametrize the hadronic matrix elements in these processes. In this talk, I will present the updated results of Standard Model predictions such as partially-integrated branching fractions and constraints on CKM matrix elements calculated from new form factors. I will also summarize the tensions between Standard-Model predictions and current experimental results of the $B$-meson rare decays.
