abstract
We investigate electromagnetic corrections to the rare $B$-meson leptonic decay $B_{s,d} \to \mu^+\mu^-$ from scales below the bottom-quark mass $m_b$. Contrary to QCD effects, which are entirely contained in the $B$-meson decay constant, we find that virtual photon exchange can probe the $B$-meson structure, resulting in a "non-local annihilation" effect. We find that this effect gives rise to a dynamical enhancement by a power of $m_b/\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ and by large logarithms. The impact of this novel effect on the branching ratio of $B_{s,d}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is about $1\%$, of the order of the previously estimated non-parametric theoretical uncertainty, and four times the size of previous estimates of next-to-leading order QED effects due to residual scale dependence. We update the Standard Model prediction to $\overline{{\cal B}}(B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-)_{\rm SM} = (3.57 \pm 0.17) \cdot 10^{-9}$.

The Simplest B Decay, Precisely
A complete QCD×QED, next-to-leading-power factorization now gives a percent-level prediction for B⁻→μ⁻ν̄(γ) with all structure-dependent electromagnetic corrections included.

The structure of quark mass corrections in the $gg \rightarrow HH$ amplitude at high-energy
The leading-power mass logarithms in high-energy gg to HH are shown to originate solely from top-quark mass renormalization, enabling a resummation that sharply reduces the mass-scheme uncertainty of the virtual amplitude.

Renormalisation group evolution of the shape function $g_{17}$ in $\bar{B}\to X_s \gamma$ and $\bar{B} \to X_s \ell^+\ell^-$ at subleading power

$B_s^0 \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ in a flavor violating extension of MSSM
The mu-from-nu SSM can reproduce the measured B_s^0 -> mu+ mu- branching ratio while also satisfying the Bbar -> X_s gamma constraint, for certain ranges of At, kappa, upsilon_nu^c, and A_lambda.

Implications of $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$ for new physics in $B$ decays
Updated NA62 K+→π+νν̄ data tighten modified-Z and U(2)^5 semileptonic fits and predict KL→π0νν̄ enhanced relative to K+ in the preferred U(2) lobe.

$B \to X_{\mathrm{s}} l^{+} l^{-}$ in the $\mu$ from $\nu$ Supersymmetric Standard Model
In the μνSSM, B→X_s l+l− is dominated by charged-Higgs C7 in the low-q² region and C9/C10 Z-penguins in the high-q² region, with the forward-backward asymmetry set by C7C10 and C9C10 interference.
