An angular analysis of the $B^{0}\rightarrow K^{*0}(\rightarrow K^{+}\pi^{-})\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decay is presented. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,{\mbox{fb}^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at the LHCb experiment. The complete angular information from the decay is used to determine $C\!P$-averaged observables and $C\!P$ asymmetries, taking account of possible contamination from decays with the $K^{+}\pi^{-}$ system in an S-wave configuration. The angular observables and their correlations are reported in bins of $q^2$, the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system. The observables are determined both from an unbinned maximum likelihood fit and by using the principal moments of the angular distribution. In addition, by fitting for $q^2$-dependent decay amplitudes in the region $1.1<q^{2}<6.0\mathrm{\,Ge\kern -0.1em V}^{2}/c^{4}$, the zero-crossing points of several angular observables are computed. A global fit is performed to the complete set of $C\!P$-averaged observables obtained from the maximum likelihood fit. This fit indicates differences with predictions based on the Standard Model at the level of 3.4 standard deviations. These differences could be explained by contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model, or by an unexpectedly large hadronic effect that is not accounted for in the Standard Model predictions.

    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.

  2. Semileptonic neutral current decays of $\Xi_b$ with dileptons or dineutrinos in the final state

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Perturbative QCD calculations find that branching fractions for Ξ_b to Ξ lepton-pair decays lie within LHCb reach and that angular observables plus a specific ratio can constrain Wilson coefficients and extract |V_td/...

  3. Flavour anomalies and (fundamental) partial compositeness

    hep-ph 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Partial compositeness in the minimal fundamental partial compositeness (MFPC) model explains B-meson flavour anomalies while also solving the SM naturalness problem.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Perturbative symmetry-breaking corrections shift the branching ratio and normal lepton polarization asymmetry by ~3% in B → K0*(1430) μ+μ−, so larger experimental deviations would indicate new physics.

    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.

    hep-ph 2024-09 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    A U(1)_{Le-Lμ} extended SM with scalar leptoquark explains b→s anomalies via Z', leptoquark and new fermions while the lightest neutral fermion serves as DM, with constraints analyzed from B decays and DM observables.
