Abstract

Several experiments observed deviations from the Standard Model (SM) in the flavour sector: LHCb found a 45σ4-5\,\sigma discrepancy compared to the SM in bsμ+μb\to s\mu^+\mu^- transitions (recently supported by an Belle analysis) and CMS reported a non-zero measurement of hμτh\to\mu\tau with a significance of 2.4σ2.4\,\sigma. Furthermore, BELLE, BABAR and LHCb founds hints for the violation of flavour universality in BD()τνB\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu. In addition, there is the long-standing discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Interestingly, all these anomalies are related to muons and taus, while the corresponding electron channels seem to be SM like. This suggests that these deviations from the SM might be correlated and we briefly review some selected models providing simultaneous explanations.
