Abstract
We investigate the rare decay Lambda(b) --> Lambda(gamma) which receiv es both short-and long-distance contributions. We estimate the long-di stance contributions and find them very small. The short-distance piec e is sensitive to new physics and we discuss the sensitivity of Lambda (b) --> Lambda(gamma) to such effects.
