abstract

Within the standard approach of effective field theory of weak interactions for $\Delta B = 1$ transitions, we look for possibly unexpected subtle New Physics effects, here dubbed "flavourful Easter eggs". We perform a Bayesian global fit using the publicly available HEPfit package, taking into account state-of-the-art experimental information concerning these processes, including the suggestive measurements from LHCb of $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^{*}}$, the latter available only very recently. We parametrize New Physics contributions to $b \to s$ transitions in terms of shifts of Wilson coefficients of the electromagnetic dipole and semi-leptonic operators, assuming CP-conserving effects, but allowing in general for violation of lepton flavour universality. We show how optimistic/conservative hadronic estimates can impact quantitatively the size of New Physics extracted from the fit. With a conservative approach to hadronic uncertainties we find nonzero New Physics contributions to Wilson coefficients at the level of $\sim 3\sigma$, depending on the model chosen. Furthermore, given the interplay between hadronic contributions and New Physics effects in the leptonic vector current, a scenario with nonstandard leptonic axial currents is comparable to the more widely advocated one with New Physics in the leptonic vector current.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice-only Dispersive Matrix form factors enlarge large-recoil uncertainties and, with new angular data, favour long-distance hadronic effects over a short-distance C9 New Physics shift.

    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.

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
