The first measurement of the branching fraction for the inclusive decay B → X s l + l -, where l is either an electron or a muon, and X s is a hadronic recoil system that contains an s quark, was reported in this article.
Abstract
We report the first measurement of the branching fraction for the inclusive decay B → X s l + l - , where l is either an electron or a muon, and X s is a hadronic recoil system that contains an s quark. We analyzed a data sample of 65.4 x 10 6 B meson pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e - asymmetric-energy collider. We find B(B → X s l + l - ) = [6.1 ′ 1.4(stat) + 1 . 4 - 1 . 1 (syst)] × 10 - 6 for dilepton masses greater than 0.2 GeV/c 2 .

More model-independent analysis of b→s processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the implications of nonstandard scalar and pseudoscalar interactions for the decays of hadronic b decays were studied, and the authors showed that the standard model prediction for these ratios defined with the same cut on the dilepton mass for electron and muon modes, with a much smaller theoretical uncertainty than the one for the individual branching fractions, was shown.

Dark matter and collider phenomenology of universal extra dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the phenomenology of models with flat, compactified extra dimensions where all of the Standard Model fields are allowed to propagate in the bulk, known as Universal Extra Dimensions (UED).

Physics at Super B Factory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of studies that investigate the physics reach at a Super B factory, an asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider with a design luminosity of 5 x 10^35 cm^-2s^-1, which is around 40 times as large as the peak luminosity achieved by the KEKB collider.

Anatomy of prominent B and K decays and signatures of CP violating new physics in the electroweak penguin sector

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that all puzzling B → �� features can be accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through non-factorizable hadronic interference effects, extract the relevant parameters, and predict the CP asymmetries of Bd → � 0 � 0 using thenSU(3) flavour-symmetry and plausible dynamical assumptions.

Observables for the Analysis of Event Shapes in e+ e- Annihilation and Other Processes

TL;DR: In this article, a set of rotationally invariant observables which characterizes the shapes of events is presented, and is calculable in quantum-chromodynamics perturbation theory for final states consisting of quarks and gluons.

Photonic penguins at two loops and mt-dependence of BR[B→Xsl+l−]

TL;DR: In this paper, two-loop matching conditions for all the operators that are relevant to B → X s l + l − decay in the Standard Model were derived, and they were shown to remove the ±16% uncertainty in the decay spectrum, which was mainly due to the renormalization-scale dependence of the top quark mass.
