Description
b->c cbar s transitions proceed at the tree-level in the weak interactions
in the Standard Model, and for this reason are typically ignored in the search for
new physics. I will show that, in fact, even small BSM contributions can give
observables effects in B-meson lifetime observables, CP-violation measurements,
as well as rare and radiative decays. This can provide useful constraints on or
possible signatures of new physics, and may even play a role in some of the
anomalies seen in rare semileptonic B-decay.
