Abstract

331 models constitute an extension of the Standard Model (SM) obtained by enlarging the SM gauge group SU(3)C×SU(2)L×U(1)YSU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(2)_\text{L}\times U(1)_Y to the group SU(3)C×SU(3)L×U(1)XSU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(3)_\text{L}\times U(1)_X. We investigate how a non-minimal 331 model may embed lepton flavour universality violating contributions to bsb\to s\ell\ell processes without introducing lepton flavour violation, as suggested by the recent LHCb measurements of the ratios RKR_K and RKR_{K^*}. We discuss the model-independent scenarios of New Physics in bsb\to s\ell\ell currently favoured by the data that could be accommodated by this model and consider a few phenomenological constraints on this model.
