Rare $b$-hadron decays

Abstract

Rare $b$-hadron decays provide a rich environment to search for beyond Standard Model physics effects thanks to numerous observables. In the recent years, several tensions with the SM expectations have appeared. A review of the most important experimental results is presented together with their interpretation in the context of the effective Hamiltonian approach.
