Abstract

Leptonic rare decays of neutral B mesons belong to the most favourable processes for testing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with an outstanding sensitivity to possible new (pseudo)- scalar contributions. We discuss implications of the current data for the theoretical description of the flavour sector, discuss the use of new observables to probe New Physics, and make a comparison with recent theoretical studies of leptonic decays of charged B mesons.
