abstract

LHCb reported anomalies in $B\to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$, $B_s\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-$ and $R(K)=B\to K \mu^+\mu^-/B\to K e^+e^-$. Furthermore, BaBar, BELLE and LHCb found hints for the violation of lepton flavour universality violation in $R(D^{(*)})=B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu/B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu$. In this note we reexamine these decays and their correlations to $B\to K^{(*)}\nu\bar{\nu}$ using gauge invariant dim-6 operators. For the numerical analysis we focus on scenarios in which new physics couples, in the interaction eigenbasis, to third generation quarks and lepton only. We conclude that such a setup can explain the $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ data simultaneously with $R(D^{(*)})$ for small mixing angles in the lepton sector (of the order of $\pi/16$) and very small mixing angles in the quark sector (smaller than $V_{cb}$). In these region of parameter space $B\to K^{(*)}\tau\mu$ and $B_s\to \tau\mu$ can be order $10^{-6}$. Possible UV completions are briefly discussed.

Baryon-Meson Sum Rule for $b \to s \nu\bar\nu$

hep-ph · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

An exact sum rule connects branching fractions of Lambda_b -> Lambda nu nubar and B -> K(*) nu nubar decays with coefficients identical to those in the b->c tau semileptonic sum rule.

Impact of Hadronic Resonances on $B\to K^{(*)}\tau^+\tau^-$ decays

hep-ph · 2026-05-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Including resonant contributions from LHCb muon data enhances standard model predictions for B to K(*) tau tau decays and makes short-distance new physics comparable to or larger than resonant effects over the full q2 range.

Combined explanation of the B-anomalies

hep-ph · 2019-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Four models for combined explanation of B anomalies are tested with general couplings, excluding three and constraining the fourth.
