Abstract

We consider background to the rare decay modes b→

{sl}^{+}

l^{-}

, B→

K^{*}

l^{+}

l^{-}

, and B→

{Kl}^{+}

l^{-}

arising from the process b→

{sV}_{i}

followed by on- and off-resonance transition

V_{i}

→

l^{+}

l^{-}

. We obtain dilepton mass spectrum including short-distance effects and then suggest cuts to enhance the signal over background.
