A general effective field theory description of $b \to s l^{+} l^{-}$ lepton universality ratios

Gino Isidori, Davide Lancierini, Abhijit Mathad +3

We construct an expression for a general lepton flavour universality (LFU) ratio, $R_{X}$ , in $b \to s l^{+} l^{-}$ decays in terms of a series of hadronic quantities which can be treat…

Prospects for disentangling long- and short-distance effects in the decays $B \to K^{*} μ^{+} μ^{-}$

Marcin Chrzaszcz, Andrea Mauri, Nicola Serra +2

Theory uncertainties on non-local hadronic effects limit the New Physics discovery potential of the rare decays $B \to K^{*} μ^{+} μ^{-}$ . We investigate prospects to disentangle New Physic…

Measuring the Breaking of Lepton Flavour Universality in $B \to K^{*} ℓ^{+} ℓ^{-}$

Nicola Serra, Rafael Silva Coutinho, Danny van Dyk

We propose measurements of weighted differences of the angular observables in the rare decays $B \to K^{*} ℓ^{+} ℓ^{-}$ . The proposed observables are very sensitive to the difference…
