HQL / Rare b and c decays at LHCb

Rare decays are very sensitive probes for phenomena beyond the Standard Model, complementary to direct searches. Particularly interesting are b->sll and c->ull transitions, which allow tests of lepton universality to be performed. Very rare decays such as B(s)->ll are furthermore helicity suppressed and constitute powerful probes for new (pseudo) scalar particles. Recent results of rare c and b-hadron decays at LHCb will be presented.
