We interpret the recent hints for lepton flavor universality violation in rare $B$ meson decays. Based on a model-independent effective Hamiltonian approach, we determine regions of new physics parameter space that give a good description…

We compute the one-loop corrections to $Z$ decay properties from dimension-6 operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) that contribute also to anomalous 3-gauge boson couplings and examine the relative sensitivity of…

Anomalies in (semi)leptonic $B$-meson decays present interesting patterns that might be revealing the shape of the new physics to come. In order to understand the experimental data, we explore symmetry arguments that lead to the hypothesis…

The lepton flavor universality violating (LFUV) measurements $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ in $B$ meson decays can be accounted for in non-universal $Z'$ models. We constrain the couplings of these $Z'$ models by performing a global fit to correlated…

High precision electroweak tests, such as deviations from the Standard Model expectations of the Lepton Flavor Universality breaking in K->lnu (with l= e or mu), represent a powerful tool to test the Standard Model and, hence, to constrain…

One of the fundamental predictions of the Standard Model is Lepton Flavour Universality. Any deviation from this prediction would indicate the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent LHCb measurements present a pattern of…

Despite a large experimental effort, so far no evidence for flavour-violating decays of charged leptons such as $l_i\to l_j\gamma$ and $l_i\to l_j l_k l_k$ has been found. The absence of a signal puts very severe constraints on many…
