Description
Radiative decays of $B$ mesons are flavour-changing neutral current processes used as probes for new physics (NP). They occur predominantly via $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ loop diagrams in which the photon is expected, in the Standard Model, to be mostly right handed. However, a significant left-handed component could arise from NP phenomena. The LHCb collaboration is attempting to measure the photon polarisation parameter $\lambda_\gamma$ via several methods. We present here a promising way to access this quantity through a full five-dimensional amplitude analysis of $B^{+} \rightarrow K^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \gamma$ decays using data collected with the LHCb detector from 2011 to 2016.
