The LHCb and Belle collaborations have reported on some anomalies in $b \to s$ transitions, with discrepancies with the Standard Model predictions in some angular observables and branching ratios and intriguing hints for lepton universality…
The decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ results in the measurement of a large number of related observables by studying the angular distribution of the decay products and is regarded as a sensitive probe of physics beyond the standard model…
To shed light on the indirect search for new physics beyond the standard model, the long standing discrepancies between the theory and experiment mediated by FCNC $b\to s \ell \ell$ quark level transitions set an ideal testing ground.…
We present an overview of the recent neutral current $B$ decays focusing on the deviations with respect to the Standard Model predictions that are observed in $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ transitions, and discuss their implications for new…
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…
Recently, the LHC has found several anomalies in exclusive semileptonic b --> s l^+ l^- decays. In this proceeding, we summarize the most important results of our global analysis of the relevant decay modes. After a discussion of the…
We present results of global fits of all relevant experimental data on rare $b \to s$ decays. We observe significant tensions between the Standard Model predictions and the data. After critically reviewing the possible sources of…
The long persistent discrepancies in $b\,\to\,s\, \ell\, \ell$ quark level transitions continue to be the ideal platform for an indirect search of new physics that lies beyond the SM. The measurements of $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, $P_5^{\prime}$,…
We present a brief update of our model-independent analyses of the b->s data presented in the articles published in Phys. Rev. D96 (2017) 095034 and Phys. Rev. D98 (2018) 095027 based on new data on R_K by LHCb, on R_{K^*} by Belle, and on…
A review of the experimental status of purely leptonic ${B^0_{[s]}\to\ell^+\ell^-}$ decays is given and the new analysis of ${B^0_{[s]}\to\mu^+\mu^-}$ observables with the LHCb experiment is presented. The new results are the most precise…
We study the implications of the recent measurements of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ by the LHCb collaboration. We do that by adopting a model-independent approach based on the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), in which the dominant new…
Recently the LHCb collaboration has confirmed the evidence for lepton flavour nonuniversality at the $3.1\sigma$ level via an updated measurement of $R_K$. In this work we analyse this evidence within a model-independent approach. We make…
In the Standard Model (SM), the rare transitions where a bottom quark decays into a strange quark and a pair of light leptons exhibit a potential sensitivity to physics beyond the SM. In addition, the SM embeds Lepton Flavour Universality…
The experimental information on b --> s l^+ l^- decays has grown enormously during the last couple of years due to BaBar, Belle, CDF and LHCb. Especially, exclusive modes B --> K^(*) l^+ l^-, which have the largest rate and are easily…
We perform a model-independent global fit to $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ observables to confirm existing New Physics (NP) patterns (or scenarios) and to identify new ones emerging from the inclusion of the updated LHCb and Belle measurements of…
The present status of the LHC anomalies found in exclusive semileptonic $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays is discussed with special emphasis on the exclusive 4-body angular distribution $B \to K^*(\to K\pi)\ell^+\ell^-$. The treatment of hadronic…
It is generally believed that the decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the best modes to search for physics beyond the standard model. The angular distribution enables the independent measurement of several observables as a function…
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…
Flavour changing neutral currents are suppressed in the Standard Model, making them a prime avenue to search for new physics. Although several measurements of the decay $B^{0}\to{}K^{\ast{}0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ have shown deviations from the…
The search for New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM) has been a central focus of particle physics, including in the context of $B$-meson decays involving $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions. These transitions, mediated by…
