Flavour Anomalies: 2021 Theoretical Status Report
arXiv:2110.13270 · doi:10.1146/annurev-nucl-102020-090209
Abstract
At the present time, there are discrepancies with the predictions of the SM in several observables involving and decays. These are the flavour anomalies. In this review, we summarize the data as of Moriond 2021 and present theoretical new-physics explanations from both a model-independent effective-field-theory point of view and through the building of explicit models. Throughout, we stress the complementarity of these two approaches. We also discuss combined explanations of both anomalies, and present models that also explain other problems, such as dark matter, , neutrino properties, and hadronic anomalies.
