Abstract

LHCb found hints for physics beyond the standard model in BKμ+μB\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-, BKμ+μ/BKe+eB\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-/B\to K^*e^+e^- and Bsϕμ+μB_s\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-. In addition, the BABAR results for BD()τνB\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu and the CMS excess in hτ±μh\to\tau^\pm\mu^\mp also point towards lepton flavour (universality) violating new physics. While BD()τνB\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu and hτ±μh\to\tau^\pm\mu^\mp can be naturally explained by an extended Higgs sector, the probably most promising explanation for the bsμμb\to s\mu\mu anomalies is a ZZ' boson. Furthermore, combining a 2HDM with a gauged LμLτL_\mu-L_\tau symmetry allows for explaining the bsμ+μb\to s\mu^+\mu^- anomalies and hτ±μh\to\tau^\pm\mu^\mp simultaneously, with interesting correlations to τ3μ\tau\to3\mu. In the light of these deviations from the SM we also discuss the possibilities of observing lepton flavour violating BB decays (e.g. BK()τ±μB\to K^{(*)}\tau^\pm\mu^\mp and Bsτ±μB_s\to\tau^\pm\mu^\mp) in ZZ^\prime models.
