We provide standard model expectations for the rare radiative decays ,
and
, and the electroweak penguin decays
and
at the next-to-leading order (NLO), extending our previous results to
transitions. We consider branching fractions, isospin asymmetries and direct CP asymmetries. For the electroweak penguin decays, the lepton-invariant mass spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry is also included. Radiative and electroweak penguin transitions in
are mainly interesting in the search for new flavor-changing neutral current interactions, but in addition the
decays provide constraints on the CKM parameters
. The potential impact of these constraints is discussed.
