For nearly a decade, some decays of B mesons have hinted at possible deviations from the Standard Model — raising hopes of new physics, but also questions about underestimated hadronic effects. In this talk, I will take a fresh look at the so-called B anomalies, focusing on the latest experimental results from CMS, LHCb and Belle II. I will discuss the current theoretical understanding of...
Inclusive rare semileptonic B decays (B->Xs l+ l-) probe the very same physics that is at the heart of the famous anomalies found by LHCb in various exclusive b->sll decays. Even though inclusive modes are much harder to measure than the corresponding exclusive ones, they offer a unique opportunity to cross check the anomalies using observables which suffer from a completely orthogonal set of...
This talk will be on the $U_1$ leptoquark (LQ) prospects in the rare $B_c \to D_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay channel, mediated by the FCNC $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transition. Complex leptoquark couplings are considered which will allow for possible new CP violation sources. These couplings are constrained using current experimental data in the $b \to s \ell \ell$ sector. We work with a few new...
Flavour physics plays a central role in testing the Standard Model and searching for possible hints of New Physics. Precise measurements of CP violation provide stringent tests of the SM framework. The CKM angle $\gamma$ is a key parameter in this context, and a theoretically clean way to determine it is through the $B_s^0 \to D_s^{\mp} K^{\pm}$ decay system. Recent experimental updates...
