We examine various scenarios in which the Standard Model is extended by a light
leptoquark state to solve for one or both B-physics anomalies, viz. RD* exp> RD* SM or/and …

A bstract In the Standard Model (SM), the rare transitions where a bottom quark decays into
a strange quark and a pair of light leptons exhibit a potential sensitivity to physics beyond …

We evaluate the impact of radiative corrections in the ratios Γ B → M μ^+ μ^-/Γ B → M e^+ e^-
Γ B→ M μ+ μ-/Γ B→ M e+ e-when the meson M is a K or a K^* K∗. Employing the cuts on m …

A bstract Over the past years, experiments accumulated intriguing hints for new physics (NP)
in flavor observables, namely in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (a μ), in R (D …

We show that by adding a single new scalar particle to the standard model, a TeV-scale
leptoquark with the quantum numbers of a right-handed down quark, one can explain in a …

Recently, Belle II reported on the first measurement of B (B±→ K±ν ν¯) which appears to be
almost 3σ larger than predicted in the Standard Model. We point out the important …

A bstract We present a detailed discussion of the current theoretical and experimental
situation of the anomaly in the angular distribution of B→ K*(→ Kπ) μ+ μ−, observed at LHCb …

A bstract The LHCb measurement of the μ/e ratio RK∗ indicates a deficit with respect to the
Standard Model prediction, supporting earlier hints of lepton universality violation observed …

We interpret the recent hints for lepton flavor universality violation in rare B meson decays.
Based on a model-independent effective Hamiltonian approach, we determine regions of …

A bstract Anomalies in semileptonic B-meson decays present interesting patterns that might
be revealing the shape of the new physics to come. Under the assumption that neutrino and …
