Introduction • In the SM, b s only through loops (FCNC) which implies: • Processes are rare • Powerful to find/constrain NP! • Operator Product Expansion allows parametrizing effect of new physics throughout different b s observables : • Observables are functions of C’s. • Branching ratios (BR) • Polarizations • Angular distributions • Three examples for LHCb: B0 K*(K+p-)m+m- Bs f(K+K-)g Bs m+m-

Bs m+m-: calibration • For normalization of BR, use control channels instead of MC • Bs BRs measured with large errors (>20%) use Bd, B+ • Then the largest syst.
