Abstract

We provide standard model expectations for the rare radiative decays B → Kz.astγ, B → ργ and B → ωγ, and the electroweak penguin decays B → K z.ast+- and B → ρℓ +- at the next-to-leading order (NLO), extending our previous results to b → d transitions. We consider branching fractions, isospin asymmetries and direct CP asymmetries. For the electroweak penguin decays, the lepton-invariant mass spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry is also included. Radiative and electroweak penguin transitions in b → d are mainly interesting in the search for new flavor-changing neutral current interactions, but in addition the B → ργ decays provide constraints on the CKM parameters (ρ̄, η̄). The potential impact of these constraints is discussed.
