The inclusive rare decay B → Xs ℓ+ ℓ− is a FCNC process and therefore a sensitive probe for physics beyond the Standard Model.
We report on a recent calculation [1,2] of logarithmically enhanced electromagnetic corrections to the decay rate and forward backward asymmetry. We also present the results of a detailed phenomenological analysis, including for instance the branching ratio integrated over the low dilepton invariant mass region 1 GeV2 < mℓℓ2 < 6 GeV2, and the position of the zero of the forward backward asymmetry.
Possible New Physics implications will be briefly discussed as well.
