We report a fully inclusive measurement of the flavour changing neutral current decay b->s gamma in the energy range 1.8 GeV < E* < 2.8 GeV, covering 95% of the total spectrum. Using 140 fb^-1 we obtain BF(b->s gamma)= 3.55 +/- 0.32 +0.30-0.31 +0.11-0.07, where the errors are statistical, systematic and from theory corrections. We also measure the first and second moments of the photon energy spectrum above 1.8 GeV and obtain <E> = 2.292 +/- 0.026 +/- 0.034 GeV and <E^2>-<E>^2 = 0.0305 +/- 0.0074 +/- 0.0063 GeV^2, where the errors are statistical and systematic.

We describe a measurement of the direct CP asymmetry between inclusive b -> s gamma and bbar -> sbar gamma decays. This asymmetry is expected to be less than 0.01 in the Standard Model, but could be enhanced up to about 0.10 by new physics contributi ons. We use a sample of 89 million BB pairs recorded with the BaBar detector at PEP-II, from which we reconstruct a set of 12 exclusive b -> s gamma final states containing one charged or neutral kaon and one to three pions. We measure an asymmetry of A_CP(b -> s gamma) = 0.025 +/- 0.050(stat.) +/- 0.015(syst.), corresponding to an allowed range of -0.06 < A_CP(b -> s gamma) < +0.11 at 90% confidence level.
Using the previous Belle measurement of the inclusive photon energy in $Bto X_sgamma$ decays, we determine the first and second moments of this spectrum for minimum photon energies in the $B$ meson rest frame ranging from 1.8 to 2.3 GeV. Combining th ese measurements with recent Belle data on the lepton energy and hadronic mass moments in $Bto X_cell u$ decays, we perform fits to theoretical expressions derived in the 1S and kinetic mass schemes and extract the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $V_{cb}$, the $b$-quark mass and other non-perturbative parameters. In the 1S scheme analysis we find $|V_{cb}|=(41.56pm 0.68(mathrm{fit})pm 0.08(tau_B))times 10^{-3}$ and $m_b^mathrm{1S}=(4.723pm 0.055)$ GeV. In the kinetic scheme, we obtain $|V_{cb}|=(41.58pm 0.69(mathrm{fit})pm 0.08(tau_B)pm 0.58(mathrm{th}))times 10^{-3}$ and $m_b^mathrm{kin}=(4.543pm 0.075)$ GeV.
We report a first measurement of inclusive B -> X_s eta decays, where X_s is a charmless state with unit strangeness. The measurement is based on a pseudo-inclusive reconstruction technique and uses a sample of 657 x 10^6 BB-bar pairs accumulated wit h the Belle detector at the KEKB e^+e^- collider. For M_{X_s} < 2.6 GeV/c^2, we measure a branching fraction of (26.1 +/- 3.0 (stat) +1.9 -2.1 (syst) +4.0 -7.1 (model)) x 10^-5 and a direct CP asymmetry of A_{CP} = -0.13 +/- 0.04 +0.02 -0.03. Over half of the signal occurs in the range M_{X_s} > 1.8 GeV/c^2.
Radiative penguin decays provide an indirect probe for physics beyond the Standard Model and contribute to the determination of the CKM matrix elements. Copious quantities of B mesons produced at the B-Factories permit precision measurements of radia tive penguin decays. We review the experimental status of the radiative penguin processes b --> s(d) gamma.
The polarization of photons produced in radiative $B^{0}_{s}$ decays is studied for the first time. The data are recorded by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$ at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$TeV. A time-dependent analysis of the $B^{0}_{s} to phi gamma$ decay rate is conducted to determine the parameter ${mathcal{A}}^Delta$, which is related to the ratio of right- over left-handed photon polarization amplitudes in $b to s gamma$ transitions. A value of ${mathcal{A}}^Delta=-0.98^{,+0.46,+0.23}_{,-0.52,-0.20}$ is measured. This result is consistent with the Standard Model prediction within two standard deviations.
