Direct CP, Lepton Flavor and Isospin Asymmetries in the Decays B->K(*)l+l-
read the original abstract
We measure rate asymmetries for the rare decays B->K(*)l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-, using a sample of 384 million BBbar events collected with the Babar detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider. We find no evidence for direct CP or lepton-flavor asymmetries. For dilepton masses below the J/psi resonance, we find evidence for unexpectedly large isospin asymmetries in both B->Kl+l- and B->K*l+l-, which differ respectively by 3.2 sigma and 2.7 sigma, including systematic uncertainties, from the Standard Model expectations.

First evidence of the $B_s^0\rightarrow K^-\pi^+\gamma$ decay
LHCb reports the first experimental evidence for the Bs0 to K- pi+ gamma decay with 3.5 sigma significance and measures its branching fraction ratio to the B0 decay in two mass ranges.

Weak Annihilation Contribution to Angular Observables in $B_{c}^+\to D^{\ast+}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ Decays
Weak annihilation contributions are sizable in B_c^+ to D^{*+} lepton pair decays and must be included to obtain reliable Standard Model predictions for angular observables.
