abstract
The anomalies in the measurements of observables involving $b \to s \mu\mu$ decays, namely $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, $P_5^{\prime}$, and $B_s^\phi$, may be addressed by adding lepton-universality-violating new physics contributions to the effective operators ${\cal O}_9, {\cal O}_{10}, {\cal O}^\prime_9, {\cal O}^\prime_{10}$. We analyze all the scenarios where the new physics contributes to a pair of these operators at a time. We perform a global fit to all relevant data in the $b \to s$ sector to estimate the corresponding new Wilson coefficients, $C_9^{\rm NP}, C_{10}^{\rm NP}, C_9^\prime, C_{10}^\prime$. In the light of the new data on $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ presented in Moriond 2019, we find that the scenarios with new physics contributions to the ($C_9^{\rm NP}$, $C_9^\prime$) or ($C_9^{\rm NP}$, $C_{10}^\prime$) pair remain the most favored ones. On the other hand, though the competing scenario ($C_9^{\rm NP}$, $C_{10}^{\rm NP}$) remains attractive, its advantage above the SM reduces significantly due to the tension that emerges between the $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ measurements with the new data. The movement of the $R_K$ measurement towards unity would also result in the re-emergence of the one-parameter scenario $C_9^{\rm NP} = -C_9^\prime$.

Exhaustive Model Selection in $b \to s \ell \ell$ Decays: Pitting Cross-Validation against AIC$_c$
An exhaustive model selection over 511 Wilson-coefficient combinations for b to s l l decays finds that all surviving scenarios contain O9 (Delta C9 near -1.1 to -1.4), the only surviving one-operator scenario.

Resolving the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ and $B$ anomalies with leptoquarks and a dark Higgs boson
A model with a light dark Higgs and TeV-scale leptoquarks can simultaneously explain the muon g-2 and B decay anomalies, and predicts rare B, K, and Higgs decays within reach of current experiments.

Associated $Z^\prime$ production in the flavorful $U(1)$ scenario for $R_{K^{(*)}}$
A flavorful Z' model for the B-meson anomalies predicts discoverable associated-production signatures at the HL-LHC: dimuon + b-jets for M_Z' up to ~500 GeV and tri-muon + missing energy for larger muon couplings.
