Disentangling Lepton Flavour Universal and Lepton Flavour Universality Violating Effects in Transitions
Marcel Algueró, Bernat Capdevila, Andreas Crivellin +1
In this letter we propose a strategy for discerning if new physics in the Wilson coefficient is dominantly lepton flavour universality violating or if it contains…
What and can tell us about New Physics in transitions?
Marcel Algueró, Bernat Capdevila, Sébastien Descotes-Genon +2
The deviations with respect to the Standard Model that are currently observed in transitions, or anomalies, can be interpreted in terms of different New Phys…
Global Fits after and
Marcel Algueró, Bernat Capdevila, Sébastien Descotes-Genon +2
We present an up-to-date complete model-independent global fit to observables that confirms patterns of New Physics able to explain the data. We include the re…
Patterns of New Physics in transitions in the light of recent data
Bernat Capdevila, Andreas Crivellin, Sébastien Descotes-Genon +2
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 the…
Hadronic uncertainties in : a state-of-the-art analysis
Bernat Capdevila, Sebastien Descotes-Genon, Lars Hofer +1
In the absence of direct evidence for New Physics at present LHC energies, the focus is set on the anomalies and discrepancies recently observed in rare transitio…
Assessing lepton-flavour non-universality from angular analyses
Bernat Capdevila, Sebastien Descotes-Genon, Joaquim Matias +1
The decay exhibits deviations with respect to Standard Model expectations and the measurement of the ratio hints at a violation of lepton-flavour universality…
Unveiling Hidden Physics at the LHC
Oliver Fischer, Bruce Mellado, Stefan Antusch +30
The field of particle physics is at the crossroads. The discovery of a Higgs-like boson completed the Standard Model (SM), but the lacking observation of convincing resonances Beyo…
To (b)e or not to (b)e: No electrons at LHCb
Marcel Algueró, Aritra Biswas, Bernat Capdevila +3
We discuss the impact of the recent LHCb update on the two lepton-flavour universality ratios and , and the CMS update of regarding the possi…
Perturbative corrections to power suppressed effects in
Bernat Capdevila, Paolo Gambino, Soumitra Nandi
We compute the corrections to the Wilson coefficients of the dimension five operators in inclusive semileptonic decays in the limit of a massless final quark. Our cal…
Emerging patterns of New Physics with and without Lepton Flavour Universal contributions
Marcel Algueró, Bernat Capdevila, Andreas Crivellin +5
We perform a model-independent global fit to observables to confirm existing New Physics (NP) patterns (or scenarios) and to identify new ones emerging from th…
Searching for New Physics with processes
Bernat Capdevila, Andreas Crivellin, Sébastien Descotes-Genon +2
In recent years, intriguing hints for the violation of Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) have been accumulated in semileptonic decays, both in the neutral-current transitions $…
Fitting in or odd one out? Pulls vs residual responses in
Bernat Capdevila, Ursula Laa, German Valencia
New results in processes with an underlying quark transition have been recently reported by the LHCb and Belle II collaborations. In this note we show how the…
Three loop calculations and inclusive
Marzia Bordone, Bernat Capdevila, Paolo Gambino
We discuss the impact of the recent calculations of the semileptonic width of the quark and of the relation between pole and kinetic heavy quark masses by…
Explaining and the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly with a Vector Triplet
Bernat Capdevila, Andreas Crivellin, Claudio Andrea Manzari +1
The most statistically significant hints for new physics in the flavor sector are discrepancies between theory and experiment in decays to lepton pairs () a…
theory and the global picture: What's next?
Bernat Capdevila, Sebastien Descotes-Genon, Lars Hofer +2
The present status of the LHC anomalies found in exclusive semileptonic decays is discussed with special emphasis on the exclusive 4-body angular distribution…
Model-independent unbinned analysis of : zeroes, bounds, Wilson coefficients and symmetries
Bernat Capdevila, Joaquim Matias, MartÃn Novoa-Brunet +2
We present a model-independent method to study the four-body decay , based on extracting continuous observables with a moments approach. The method a…
deconstruction and flavour (non)-universality
Bernat Capdevila, Andreas Crivellin, Javier M. Lizana +1
We study two-site deconstructions of the gauge group factor of the SM. Models based on this approach can explain the hierarchies of the quark masses and CKM mixing betwee…
Review of Semileptonic Anomalies
Bernat Capdevila, Andreas Crivellin, Joaquim Matias
We review the current status and implications of the anomalies (i.e. deviations from the Standard Model predictions) in semi-leptonic meson decays, both in the charged and in t…

Marcel Algueró, Bernat Capdevila, Sébastien Descotes-Genon +2
The deviations with respect to the Standard Model (SM) that are currently observed in transitions (the so-called flavour anomalies) can be interpreted in terms o…
