We study model-independently the implications of non-standard scalar and pseudoscalar interactions for the decays b ->s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+l^- (l=e,mu) and B_s -> mu^+ mu^-. We find sizeable renormalization effects from scalar and pseudoscalar four-quark operators in the radiative decays and at O(alpha_s) in hadronic b decays. Constraints on the Wilson coefficients of an extended operator basis are worked out. Further, the ratios R_H = BR(B -> H mu^+ mu^-)/BR(B -> H e^+ e^-), for H=K^(*), X_s, and their correlations with B_s -> mu^+ mu^- decay are investigated. We show that the Standard Model prediction for these ratios defined with the same cut on the dilepton mass for electron and muon modes, R_H= 1 + O(m^2_mu/m^2_b), has a much smaller theoretical uncertainty (<1%) than the one for the individual branching fractions. The present experimental limit R_K < 1.2 puts constraints on scalar and pseudoscalar couplings, which are similar to the ones from current data on BR(B_s -> mu^+ mu^-). We find that new physics corrections to R_{K*} and R_{X_s} can reach 13% and 10%, respectively.

  1. A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

  2. Probing mixed-state dark matter and flavor observables in a scalar-assisted baryonic gauge theory

    hep-ph 2026-02 reject novelty 5.0

    Adding a colored scalar S1 to a U(1)_B dark matter model correlates dark matter freeze-out with b→s μ+μ− observables, but the flavor amplitudes use a Z'–muon coupling that the model's zero-kinetic-mixing limit forbids.

  3. $B$ anomalies and the tauphilic leptoquark model

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A tauphilic leptoquark model with S1 explaining R(D(*)), ~R2 fitting B to K nu nu via right-handed coefficients, and S3 satisfying Delta m_Bs via mixing predicts subdominant negative C_VL, dominant positive C_SL, C9^L...

  4. Symmetry-Breaking Effects on Form Factors and Observables in $B \to K_0^*(1430)\mu^+\mu^-$ Decay

    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.

  5. $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^{(*)}\nu{\bar\nu}$ and $b\to s$ $B$ decays

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Predictions for Br(Λ_b → Λ^{(*)} ν ν̄) are 2.07 times the SM value with new physics scale constrained to 2.04–11.76 TeV at 1σ, plus a sum rule linking baryonic and mesonic modes.

    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.
