Description

Despite the success of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, there exist phenomena that it cannot explain, suggesting the existence of a more complete theory which is yet unknown. Rare decays of hadrons containing a b-quark provide a powerful way of exploring theories of physics beyond the SM. Hypothetical new particles could enhance the decay rates of these rare processes to a level detectable by existing experiments. An overview of the recent results obtained by the LHCb collaboration in the search for rare b-hadron decays is presented, including prospects in view of the LHCb upgrade.
