Abstract
We investigate the rare decay Λb → Λγ which receives both short and long distance contributions. We estimate the long distance contributions and find them very small. The form factors are obtained from Λc → Λℓν̄ℓ using heavy quark symmetry and a pole model. The short distance piece opens a window to new physics and we discuss the sensitivity of Λb → Λ γ to such effects.
