Perturbative QCD calculations find that branching fractions for Ξ_b to Ξ lepton-pair decays lie within LHCb reach and that angular observables plus a specific ratio can constrain Wilson coefficients and extract |V_td/V_ts| independently of mesonic modes.

abstract
An angular analysis and a measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay $B^0_s\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-$ are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\, {\rm fb^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collisions recorded by the LHCb experiment at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and $8\, {\rm TeV}$. Measurements are reported as a function of $q^{2}$, the square of the dimuon invariant mass and results of the angular analysis are found to be consistent with the Standard Model. In the range $1<q^2<6\, {\rm GeV}^{2}/c^{4}$, where precise theoretical calculations are available, the differential branching fraction is found to be more than $3\,\sigma$ below the Standard Model predictions.

Partial compositeness in the minimal fundamental partial compositeness (MFPC) model explains B-meson flavour anomalies while also solving the SM naturalness problem.
Silicon tracker PID suppresses backgrounds well for low-momentum b-tagging but requires drift-chamber cluster counting for high-momentum s-jet tagging, with 30 ps timing needed to improve rare b to s decay contamination by an order of magnitude over kinematics alone.
Four models for combined explanation of B anomalies are tested with general couplings, excluding three and constraining the fourth.
Perturbative symmetry-breaking corrections shift the branching ratio and normal lepton polarization asymmetry by ~3% in B → K0*(1430) μ+μ−, so larger experimental deviations would indicate new physics.
A U(1)_{Le-Lμ} extended SM with scalar leptoquark explains b→s anomalies via Z', leptoquark and new fermions while the lightest neutral fermion serves as DM, with constraints analyzed from B decays and DM observables.
