We present a measurement of $R_{K^{\ast}}$, the branching fraction ratio ${{\cal B}(B\to K^\ast \mu^+ \mu^-)}$/ ${{\cal B}(B\to K^\ast e^+ e^-)}$, for both charged and neutral $B$ mesons. The ratio for the charged case, $R_{K{^{\ast +}}}$, is the first measurement ever performed. In addition, we report absolute branching fractions for the individual modes in bins of the squared dilepton invariant mass, $q^2$. The analysis is based on a data sample of $711~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, containing $772\times 10^{6}$ $B\bar B$ events, recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The obtained results are consistent with Standard Model expectations.

  1. Test of lepton flavour universality with $B^0\to K^{*0}\ell^+\ell^-$ decays at large dilepton invariant mass

    hep-ex 2026-04 accept novelty 6.0

    R_K*0 is measured as 1.08^{+0.14}_{-0.12}(stat) ± 0.07(syst) for q² > 14 GeV²/c⁴ in B⁰ → K*⁰ ℓ⁺ℓ⁻ decays, consistent with the Standard Model.

    hep-ph 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Weak annihilation contributions are sizable in B_c^+ to D^{*+} lepton pair decays and must be included to obtain reliable Standard Model predictions for angular observables.
