B leptonic decays
A great variety of decays and rare searches.
Leptonic decays
B → τ ν̄B → µν̄B → eν̄
Radiative leptonic decays
B → γ`ν̄
Lepton flavour violating decays
B → ``′
B → K``′
Not a comprehensive list...but some of the most recent/relevant results.

Lepton flavour violating modes
First two generations less challenging than τ .
But the third generation is most sensitive to NPUsually published along with LFC analyses of B → `+`− and B → K`+`− (where` = e, µ)
Both analyses use very similar methodology based on hadronic tag reconstruction.

Summary
B-factories have had much success with B-leptonic decays
B → τ ν̄ MEASURED!
Tension in SM
B → µν̄ Upper limit...but but at edge of SM!B → eν̄ Upper limit...B → γ`ν̄ Upper limit...but at edge of SM!
Lepton flavour violating modes
B → ``′ Upper limit...B → K``′ Upper limit...
Belle is still running and BaBar is still analyzing.
Next generation B-factories could be very exciting!
Thanks for your time!
