Searching for New Physics with $B^0\to K^{\ast 0}{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$

Abstract

One of the main indications for New Physics in rare $B$-decays is deduced from the tension between experimental and Standard Model predictions of the angular analysis of the $B^0\to K^{\ast 0}{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ decay. There are however possible non-local hadronic effects which in principle can also explain these tensions. In this work, we consider a statistical approach for differentiating the source of the tension in $B^0\to K^{\ast 0}{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ observables and we also investigate the prospects of such a comparison with future data from the LHCb experiment.
