We revisit the theoretical predictions and the parametrization of non-local matrix elements in rare $\bar{B}_{(s)}\to \lbrace \bar{K}^{(*)},\phi\rbrace\ell^+\ell^-$ and $\bar{B}_{(s)}\to \lbrace \bar{K}^{*}, \phi\rbrace \gamma$ decays. We improve upon the current state of these matrix elements in two ways. First, we recalculate the hadronic matrix elements needed at subleading power in the light-cone OPE using $B$-meson light-cone sum rules. Our analytical results supersede those in the literature. We discuss the origin of our improvements and provide numerical results for the processes under consideration. Second, we derive the first dispersive bound on the non-local matrix elements. It provides a parametric handle on the truncation error in extrapolations of the matrix elements to large timelike momentum transfer using the $z$ expansion. We illustrate the power of the dispersive bound at the hand of a simple phenomenological application. As a side result of our work, we also provide numerical results for the $B_s \to \phi$ form factors from $B$-meson light-cone sum rules.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Ratios of exclusive to inclusive b to s lepton lepton observables discriminate between new physics and constant hadronic effects, with current data favoring new physics.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A global fit of b→s ℓ+ℓ− and b→s νν data finds that hadronic charm-loop effects, not a new short-distance coupling C9, can explain the observed anomalies.

  3. A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5

    Lattice-only Dispersive Matrix form factors enlarge large-recoil uncertainties and, with new angular data, favour long-distance hadronic effects over a short-distance C9 New Physics shift.

  5. Unitarity bounds and form-factor predictions for $B$-meson decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Including resonant contributions from LHCb muon data enhances standard model predictions for B to K(*) tau tau decays and makes short-distance new physics comparable to or larger than resonant effects over the full q2 range.
