We examine the indirect effects of new physics on a variety of processes in the B system, such as the Z + bb vertex, the decays B + X,y and B + X,/+/-, and CP violation. 1. Introduction The investigation of virtual effects of new physics provides tunity to probe the presence of interactions beyond the Standard an important oppor-Model (S M). Various types. of.experiments may expose the existenc...
