Description We consider the most general new physics effective Lagrangian for b→sl+l−. We derive the upper limit on the branching ratio for the processes Bs→l+l− where l=e,μ, subject to the current experimental bounds on related processes, B→(K,K*)l+l−. If the new physics interactions are of vector/axial-vector form, the present measured rates for B→(K,K*)l+l− constrain B(Bs→l+l−) to be of the same order of magnitude as their respective Standard Model (SM) predictions. On the other hand, if the new physics interactions are of scalar/pseudoscalar form, B→(K,K*)l+l− rates do not impose any useful constraint on B(Bs→l+l−) and the branching ratios of these decays can be as large as present experimental upper bounds. If future experiments measure B(Bs→l+l−) to be 10−8 then the new physics giving rise to these decays has to be of the scalar/pseudoscalar form. We also consider the effect of new physics on B(Bs→l+l−γ) subject to the present experimental constraints on B→(K,K*)l+l− and B→K*γ. New physics in form scalar/pseudoscalar, which makes a very large contribution to Bs→l+l−, makes no contribution at all to Bs→l+l−γ due to angular momentum conservation. New Physics in the form of vector/axial-vector operators is constrained by the data on B→(K,K*)l+l− and new physics in the form of tensor/pseudo-tensor is constrained by the data on B→K*γ. In both cases, enhancement of B(Bs→l+l−γ) much beyond the SM expectation is impossible. In conclusion, present data on B→(K,K*) transitions allow for large B(Bs→l+l−) but do not allow B(Bs→l+l−γ) to be much larger than its SM expectation.
