abstract
A measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of the decays $B^+\to K^+\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B^+\to K^+e^+e^-$ is presented. The proton-proton collision data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of $5.0\,$fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of $7$, $8$ and $13\,$TeV. For the dilepton mass-squared range $1.1 < q^2 < 6.0\,$GeV$^2\!/c^4$ the ratio of branching fractions is measured to be $R_K = {0.846\,^{+\,0.060}_{-\,0.054}\,^{+\,0.016}_{-\,0.014}}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the most precise measurement of $R_K$ to date and is compatible with the Standard Model at the level of 2.5 standard deviations.

Introduces a reconstructible angular distribution for B to D* tau nu decays via tau to lepton chain to extract new physics parameters, projecting 5-6% sensitivities from simulation and lattice form factors.
Partial compositeness in the minimal fundamental partial compositeness (MFPC) model explains B-meson flavour anomalies while also solving the SM naturalness problem.
Four models for combined explanation of B anomalies are tested with general couplings, excluding three and constraining the fourth.
Bayesian global fit updates new physics constraints in b->sll decays with post-Moriond 2019 data, providing credibility regions and model comparisons via Bayes factors.
Theory perspective on LHCb-reported lepton non-universality anomalies in flavor-changing neutral current B decays.
Review of the room left for B-decay anomalies inside the minimal low-energy leptoquark gauge model with SU(4)_C ⊗ SU(2)_L ⊗ U(1)_R symmetry.
