Status of Theoretical Predictions for Exclusive b→sμμ Processes

by Danny van Dyk (IPPP Durham)

Small Lecture Theatre (Poynting)

I will review the status of theoretical predictions for processes such as $B\to K(\ast )\mu \mu$ and $B_s\to \varphi \mu \mu$.
Emphasis will be put on recent progress in the description of so-called non-local contributions to these
processes. As part of the review, I will strive to set the stage in a pedagogical way. I will briefly comment on the status of generalizing this framework to ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b$ baryon decays.
