abstract

We evaluate the impact of radiative corrections in the ratios $\Gamma[B\to M \mu^+\mu^-]/\Gamma[B\to M e^+e^-]$ when the meson $M$ is a $K$ or a $K^*$. Employing the cuts on $m^2_{\ell\ell}$ and the reconstructed $B$-meson mass presently applied by the LHCb Collaboration, such corrections do not exceed a few $\%$. Moreover, their effect is well described (and corrected for) by existing Montecarlo codes. Our analysis reinforces the interest of these observables as clean probe of physics beyond the Standard Model.

$B$ anomalies and the tauphilic leptoquark model

hep-ph · 2026-05-09 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

A tauphilic leptoquark model with S1 explaining R(D(*)), ~R2 fitting B to K nu nu via right-handed coefficients, and S3 satisfying Delta m_Bs via mixing predicts subdominant negative C_VL, dominant positive C_SL, C9^LQ approx +1, and masses below 3 TeV.
