The lepton universality violating flavor ratios $R_K/R_{K^*}$ indicate new physics either in $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ or in $b \to s e^+ e^-$ or in both. If the new physics is only $b \to s e^+ e^-$ transition, the corresponding new physics…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration provided updated measurements for the lepton flavour ratios $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$. The currently observed values align with the predictions of the standard model. In light of these recent updates, our…
The $B\to K^*\mu\mu$ decay exhibits deviations with respect to Standard Model expectations and the measurement of the ratio $R_K$ hints at a violation of lepton-flavour universality in $B\to K\ell\ell$ transitions. Both effects can be…
We analyze the unparticle effects on the lepton flavor universality violating ratios in $b\to s$ transition, $R(K^{(*)})$. We concentrate on the vector unparticles which contribute to the relevant Wilson coefficients $C_{9,10}$. New effects…

We present a model-independent analysis of rare B decays, $B \to K^{(*)} \nu \nu$. The effect of possible new physics is written in terms of dimension-6 four-fermi interactions. The lepton number violating scalar- and tensor-type…
We implement the $\chi^2$ fit for $R(K^{(*)})$ with possible tree-level new physics in a model-independent parametrization. Relevant Wilson coefficients are decomposed into the new physics scale, its power, and the fermionic couplings.…
We present a measurement of $R_{K^{\ast}}$, the branching fraction ratio ${{\cal B}(B\to K^\ast \mu^+ \mu^-)}$/ ${{\cal B}(B\to K^\ast e^+ e^-)}$, for both charged and neutral $B$ mesons. The ratio for the charged case, $R_{K{^{\ast +}}}$,…
Tests of lepton-universality as rate ratios in $b\to s \ell\ell$ transitions can be predicted very accurately in the Standard Model. The deficits with respect to expectations reported by the LHCb experiment in muon-to-electron ratios of the…
We discuss the status of $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ decays in the post-$R_{K^{(*)}}$ era. The recent LHCb update of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ measurements which are now compatible with the Standard Model, constrain new physics contributions to be…
The LHCb collaboration has recently presented their result on R_K = BR(B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-)/ BR(B+ -> K+ e+ e-) for the dilepton invariant mass bin m_{ll}^2 = 1-6 GeV^2 (l = mu, e). The measurement shows an intriguing 2.6 sigma deviation from…
Rare decays mediated by $b \to s \nu \bar \nu$ transitions have been reported by the Belle II experiment. The branching ratio of the decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar \nu$ is found to be enhanced with respect to the standard model value. If taken…
