Anomalous couplings of the third generation in rare B Decays

We study the potential effect of anomalous couplings of the third generation quarks to gauge bosons in rare B decays. We focus on the constraints from flavor changing neutral current processes such as $b\to s\gamma$ and $b\to s \ell^+\ell^-$. We consider both dimension-four and dimension-five operators and show that the latter can give large deviations from the standard model in the still unobserved dilepton modes, even after the bounds from $b\to s\gamma$ and precision electroweak observables are taken into account
