In this letter we propose a strategy for discerning if new physics in the Wilson coefficient ${\cal C}_{9\mu}$ is dominantly lepton flavour universality violating or if it contains a sizable lepton flavour universal component (${\cal…
The flavor-changing neutral current semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons provide an excellent platform for indirectly probing New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM). Recent measurements of lepton flavor universality (LFU) ratios such…
In view of both the latest LHCb measurement of $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and the new $2.8\sigma$ deviation reported by Belle II on $B^{+}\to K^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decays, we present a fit to the $B$ meson anomalies for various one and two dimensional…
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…
The ability of present and future experiments to test the Standard Model in the $B$ meson sector is described. We examine the loop effects of new interactions in flavor changing neutral current $B$ decays and in $Z\to b\bar b$,…
Recently, the LHCb collaboration announced a preliminary result of the test of lepton flavor universality (LFU) in $B\to D^{(\ast)}$ semi-leptonic decays: $R_{D}^{\rm LHCb2022} = 0.441 \pm 0.089$ and $R_{D^{\ast}}^{\rm LHCb2022} = 0.281 \pm…
A model-independent analysis for the exclusive, rare B -> pi^+ pi^- l^+ l^- decay is presented. The dependence of the various physically measurable asymmetries and CP violating asymmetry on the new Wilson coefficients is studied in detail.…
We critically analyze the body of results that hints to the existence of New Physics from possible violations of lepton universality observed by the LHCb experiment in the $\mu/e$ ratios $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^*}$ to the $g-2$ lepton anomalies.…
We analyse the new physics implications of theoretically clean $b \to s$ observables in a model-independent approach and compare their coherence with the implications of other rare $B$-decays. A statistical comparison is done between the…
Pure leptonic and semileptonic rare B decays, $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $B \to X_s \mu^+ \mu^-$ in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), in particular, gluino and neutralino contributions to the decays, are discussed under Br($B…
We discuss the impact of the recent LHCb update on the two lepton-flavour universality ratios $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$, and the CMS update of $B({B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-})$ regarding the possibility of New Physics in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays. We…
New heavy vector bosons and light scalars are predicted in a plethora of models of new physics. In particular, in new strongly interacting sectors they play the role of the $\rho$ and $\pi$ mesons in QCD. We show that some of their…
We update the standard model (SM) predictions of $R(D^*)$ using the latest results on the decay distributions in $B \to D^* \ell \nu_{\ell}$ ($\ell = \mu, e$) by Belle collaboration, while extracting $|V_{cb}|$ at the same time. Depending…
Rare decays were essential in the discovery of the CKM mechanism of flavour and CP violation and are highly sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this summary the current status and future prospects of experimental…
Rare lepton decays of the B(s), D and K mesons are sensitive probes of New Physics. In particular, the search for the decays $B^0_(s) -> \mu^+ \mu^-$ provides information on the presence of new (pseudo-)scalar particles. LHCb is well suited…
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 measurements of rare leptonic and semi-leptonic B decays performed at the LHC, not showing any significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations, put strong constraints on new physics. A brief account of the impact of recent…
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…
We discuss the advantages of combining the experimental bound on Br(B_s -> mu+ mu-) and the measured Br(B -> K l+l-) to get the model independent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. Since the two decays give complementary…
