Theoretical Review of Radiative Rare B Decays

Abstract

A status report on the theory of radiative rare $B$ decays in the standard model is presented, with focus on inclusive decays $B\to X_{(s,d)}\gamma$ and exclusive decays $B\to (K^{\ast },\omega ,\rho )\gamma$. CP asymmetries are also briefly discussed.
