B Physics Overview: Rare Hadronic and Radiative Decays

Abstract

I discuss three B physics results with potential for exhibiting new flavour-changing interactions: (1) the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B\to J/\psi K_S decay; (2) branching fractions and CP asymmetries in B\to \pi\pi, \pi K decays; (3) inclusive and exclusive semi-hadronic b\to s transitions.
