We explain recent LHCb measurements of the lepton universality ratios, $R_{D^{(*)}}^{\tau/\ell}\equiv \frac{\mathcal{B}(\bar B \to D^{(*)+} \tau^- \bar\nu_\tau)} {\mathcal{B}(\bar B \to D^{(*)+}\ell^- \bar\nu_\ell)}$ and…

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…

A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays $B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^\pm e^\mp$ and $B_s^0 \to \phi \mu^\pm e^\mp$ is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated…

Studies of lepton-flavor violation in strangeness-changing ($|\Delta S|=1$) transitions have a~long tradition in the kaon sector where they provide some of the strongest limits on physics beyond the standard model. Recent hints of violation…

Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) in $B$ decays in both neutral $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ and charged $b\rightarrow cl\bar{\nu}_{l}$ processes observed in the ratios $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and $R_{D^{(*)}}$ is investigated in the framework…

The evidence for Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) violation in semileptonic $B$-decays has been rising over the past few years. Relying on generic effective field theory (EFT) results, it has been shown that models addressing the…
