In particle physics, the modern view is to categorize things in terms of effective field theories (EFTs). Above the weak scale, we have the SMEFT, formed when the heavy new physics (NP) is integrated out, and for which the Standard Model…
We report on recent results obtained by the Belle II experiment related to searches for beyond-the-standard-model physics. The $B$ meson decay data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $L = 189$ fb$^{-1}$. In recent years,…
The $R(D^{(*)})$ puzzle stands for a $\sim3\sigma$ violation of lepton flavor universality between the decay rates of $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu$, where $\ell=e,\mu$. If it is accounted for by new physics, there is no…
Even if some experimental evidence suggests the existence of physics beyond the SM, no clues of new resonances can be found in the data. In the case their masses are much larger than the energies of current experiments, the SMEFT formalism…
A novel strong interaction beyond the standard model could provide a dynamical explanation of electroweak symmetry breaking. Experimental results strongly constrain properties of models that realise this mechanism. Whether these constraints…
