Semi-inclusive b see transitions at high q2

We present an updated Standard Model (SM) estimate of the inclusive b -> see rate at a high dilepton invariant mass (q2 >= 15 GeV2). We show that this estimate is in good agreement with the result obtained summing the SM predictions for the leading one-body modes (K and K =) and the subleading nonresonant K pi channel (for which we also present an updated estimate). On the contrary, the semi-inclusive sum based on data exhibits a deficit compared to the inclusive SM prediction in the muon modes. The statistical significance of this deficit does not exceed 2 sigma but is free from uncertainties on hadronic form factors and fully compatible with the deficit observed at low-q2 on the exclusive modes. The implications of these results in conjunction with other SM tests on b -> s mu over bar mu modes are briefly discussed.
