Radiative and Electroweak Rare B Decays

Abstract

This report summarizes the latest experimental results on radiative and electroweak rare B meson decays. These rare decay processes proceed through the flavor changing neutral current processes, and thus sensitive to the postulated new particles in the theories beyond the Standard Model. Experiments at e+ e- colliders, Belle, BaBar and CLEO, have been playing the dominant role, while the CDF and D0 experiments have just started to provide new results from Tevatron Run-II. The most significant achievement is the first observation of the decay B --> K* l+ l-, which opens a new window to search for new physics in B meson decays.
