There are some slight tensions with the SM predictions within the latest LHCb measurements. Besides the known anomaly in one angular observable of the rare decay B -> K* mu+ mu-, another small discrepancy recently occurred. The ratio R_K = BR(B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-) / BR(B+ -> K+ e+ e-) in the low-q^2 region has been measured by LHCb showing a 2.6 sigma deviation from the SM prediction. In contrast to the anomaly in the rare decay B -> K* mu+ mu- which is affected by power corrections, the ratio R_K is theoretically rather clean. We analyse all the b -> s ll data with global fits and in particular explore the possibility of breaking of lepton universality. Possible cross-checks with an analysis of the inclusive B -> X_s l+ l- decay are also explored.

  1. Exhaustive Model Selection in $b \to s \ell \ell$ Decays: Pitting Cross-Validation against AIC$_c$

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  2. $B \to X_{\mathrm{s}} l^{+} l^{-}$ in the $\mu$ from $\nu$ Supersymmetric Standard Model

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In the μνSSM, B→X_s l+l− is dominated by charged-Higgs C7 in the low-q² region and C9/C10 Z-penguins in the high-q² region, with the forward-backward asymmetry set by C7C10 and C9C10 interference.
