We consider possible new physics contributions to b\to s l^+ l^- assuming the new physics modifies (chromo)magnetic and electric form factors in b\to s \gamma^* and b\to s g with the same chirality structure as in the standard model.…
We present an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within the Standard Model (SM), in a model-independent manner, and in a number of new physics (NP) models. Combining new form factor…
There are several anomalous measurements in the decays induced by the quark level transition $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$, which do not agree with the predictions of the Standard Model. These measurements could be considered as signatures of…

The rare decay B to K* (to K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics since its angular distribution gives access to many observables that offer new important tests of the Standard Model and its extensions. We…
A number of observables related to the $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transition show deviations from their standard model predictions. A global fit to the current $b\rightarrow s\ell^+\ell^-$ data suggests several new physics solutions.…
$b\to s\tau^+\tau^-$ measurements are highly motivated for addressing lepton-flavor-universality (LFU)-violating puzzles such as $R_{K^{(\ast)}}$ anomalies. The anomalies of $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $R_{J/\psi}$ further strengthen their necessity…
The recent measurements of $R_{K^+}$, $R_{K_S^0}$, $R_{K^{*+}}$, $B_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$, a set of CP-averaged angular observables for the $B^0\to K^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$ decay, and its isospin partner $B^+\to K^{*+}\mu^+\mu^-$ by the LHCb…
$B$ physics plays important roles in searching for the new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). Recently, some deviations between experimental data and SM predictions were reported, namely $R(D^{(*)})$, $P_5^\prime$ and…
The recent measurement of $R_K$ at LHCb continues to support the hint of violation of lepton flavor universality. We perform a global fit for new physics in semileptonic $b\to s$ transitions using all the relevant data with a Bayesian…
Rare decays of the kind $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_s\to \phi\mu^+\mu^-$ are key players for testing the Standard Model. The current experimental data for their decay rates and angular observables show tensions with the theoretical…
We build a set of new observables using closely related non-leptonic penguin-mediated $B_d$ and $B_s$ decays: ${\bar B}_{d,s}\to K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$, ${\bar B}_{d,s}\to K^{0}\bar{K}^{0}$, ${\bar B}_{d,s}\to K^{0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ and ${\bar…
We study possible new physics (NP) effects on $B_c \to J/\psi \tau\bar\nu$, which has been recently measured at LHCb as the ratio of $R_{J/\psi} = \mathcal B(B_c \to J/\psi \tau\bar\nu)/\mathcal B(B_c \to J/\psi \mu\bar\nu)$. Combining it…
The rare decays B_s -> \mu^+\mu^- and B -> K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^- are sensitive to new particles and couplings via their interferences with the standard model contributions. Recently, the upper bound on B(B_s -> \mu^+\mu^-) has been improved…
Semileptonic and purely leptonic decays of B meson to $\tau$, such as $B\to D^{(\ast)}\tau\nu_{\tau}$ and $B\to\tau\nu_\tau$ are studied. Recognizing that there already were some weak hints of possible deviations from the SM in the…
We explore a scenario of New Physics entering the description of $B\to K^{(\ast )} \mu \mu$ decay through couplings to the operators ${\cal O}_{9,10}^\prime$, satisfying $C_9^\prime = - C_{10}^\prime$. From the current data on ${\cal…
Within the assumption of Left-Handed (LH) New Physics (NP), we review the relations between $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{(\ast)} \tau^+\tau^-)$ and $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{(\ast)} \nu\bar \nu)$ for several Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios,…
The LHCb measurements on the B ->$ K^*$$\mu^+ \mu^-$ angular observables have shown slight deviations from their Standard Model predictions. The significance of the deviations in the B -> $K^*$$\mu^+ \mu^-$ decay depends on the assumptions…

LHCb has reported deviations from the Standard Model in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transitions for which a new neutral gauge boson is a prime candidate for an explanation. As this gauge boson has to couple in a flavour non-universal way to muons…
