Anomalies in B Decays: A Sign of New Physics?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-11-15 v1

Abstract

At the present time, there are a number of measurements of BB-decay observables that disagree with the predictions of the standard model. These discrepancies have been seen in processes governed by two types of decay: (i) bsμ+μub \to s \mu^+ \mu^-u and (ii) bcτνˉb \to c \tau^- {\bar\nu}. In this talk, I review the experimental results, as well as the proposed new-physics explanations. We may be seeing the first signs of physics beyond the standard model.
