A measurement of the photon polarization in radiative penguin $B$ decays provides a test of the Standard Model and a probe for New Physics, that can lead to a deviation from the Standard Model prediction of left-handed photons in $bto s gamma$. We propose a new method to measure the photon polarization using the baryonic decay $B^- to Lambdabar{p} gamma$. The $P$-violating $Lambda$-hyperon decay allows a measurement of the $Lambda$ helicity to be performed, which can be uniquely related to the photon polarization in a model-independent way. The $B^- to Lambdabar{p} gamma$ decay was recently measured to have a large branching fraction providing a possibility to get meaningful results with the data already available at LHC and B-factory experiments. An increase of the $B$-meson sample at high luminosity LHC experiments and Belle II should provide a really stringent test by using this method already in the near future.

The radiative decays of $b$-baryons facilitate the direct measurement of photon helicity in $bto sgamma$ transitions thus serving as an important test of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we analyze the complete angular distribution of
ground state $b$-baryon ($Lambda_{b}^{0}$ and $Xi_{b}^{-}$) radiative decays to multibody final states assuming an initially polarized $b$-baryon sample. Our sensitivity study suggests that the photon polarization asymmetry can be extracted to a good accuracy along with a simultaneous measurement of the initial $b$-baryon polarization. With higher yields of $b$-baryons, achievable in subsequent runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we find that the photon polarization measurement can play a pivotal role in constraining different new physics scenarios.
We report on recent results on radiative and electroweak penguin B decays at Belle at KEKB accelerator.
An overview of the measurements of b->sgamma, b->dgamma and b->sll penguin transitions at the B Factories is presented.
We give a general parameterization of the Lambda_b --> Lambda(1520) gamma decay amplitude, applicable to any strange isosinglet spin-3/2 baryon, and calculate the branching fraction and helicity amplitudes. Large-energy form factor relations are work
ed out, and it is shown that the helicity-3/2 amplitudes vanish at lowest order in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). The suppression can be tested experimentally at the LHC and elsewhere, thus providing a benchmark for SCET. We apply the results to assess the experimental reach for a possible wrong-helicity b --> s gamma dipole coupling in Lambda_b --> Lambda(1520) gamma --> p K gamma decays. Furthermore we revisit Lambda_b-polarization at hadron colliders and update the prediction from heavy-quark effective theory. Opportunities associated with b --> d gamma afforded by high-statistics Lambda_b samples are briefly discussed in the general context of CP and flavour violation.
We have searched for the baryon-containing radiative penguin decays B^- -> Lambda p-bar gamma and B^- -> Sigma^0 p-bar gamma, using a sample of 9.7 million BBbar events collected at the Upsilon(4S) with the CLEO detector. We find no evidence for eith
er, and set 90% confidence level upper limits for photons with B rest frame energy greater than 2.0 GeV of [Br(B^- -> Lambda p-bar gamma) + 0.3 Br(B^- -> Sigma^0 p-bar gamma)] < 3.3 x 10^-6, [Br(B^- -> Sigma^0 p-bar gamma) + 0.4 Br(B^- -> Lambda p-bar gamma)] < 6.4 x 10^-6. From the latter, we estimate (for photons with B rest frame energy greater than 2.0 GeV) Br(B -> X_s gamma, X_s containing baryons) < 3.8 x 10^-5. This limit implies upper limits on corrections to CLEOs recent measurement of branching fraction, mean photon energy, and variance in photon energy from b -> s gamma that are less than half the combined statistical and systematic errors quoted on these quantities.
