Rare Decays at LHCb

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is the most advanced theory describing the behaviour and interactions of elementary particles. Despite passing an impressive amount of experimental tests, several deviations from the SM predictions have been observed in recent years in measurements of observables related to rare -hadron decays, prompting great interest and motivating further investigations. A collection of selected recent results obtained by the LHCb collaboration [ 1 ] on the study of rare -hadron decays is presented in these proceedings.
