Studies of rare B hadron decays to leptons at hadron colliders

Abstract

Rare B hadron decays provide an excellent test bench for the Standard Model and can probe new physics models. We review the experimental progress of the searches for rare leptonic B decays ($b\to {\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$ and $b\to s{\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$) at LHC and Tevatron experiments.
