Rare B decays

Abstract

Rare radiative, leptonic and semileptonic B meson decays are valuable probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk reviews the sensitivity to new physics of observables related to two rare B decays to be measured in the near future at LHC, B(s) -> mu+ mu- and B -> K* mu+ mu-.
