We review the current status and implications of the anomalies (ie deviations from the
Standard Model predictions) in semi-leptonic B meson decays, both in the charged and in …

Projecting measurements of the interactions of the known Standard Model (SM) states into
an effective field theory (EFT) framework is an important goal of the LHC physics program …

We discuss the impact of the recent LHCb update on the two lepton-flavour universality
ratios RK and RK∗, and the CMS update of B (B s→ μ+ μ-) regarding the possibility of New …

A bstract 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 …

We present an up-to-date complete model-independent global fit to b→ s ℓ ℓ observables
that confirms patterns of New Physics able to explain the data. We include the recent LHCb …

A bstract We present a detailed discussion of the current theoretical and experimental
situation of the anomaly in the angular distribution of B→ K*(→ Kπ) μ+ μ−, observed at LHCb …

A bstract We present a thorough investigation of the vector leptoquark hypothesis for a
combined explanation of the B-physics anomalies. We analyze this hypothesis from a …

We discuss theoretical and phenomenological aspects of two-Higgs-doublet extensions of
the Standard Model. In general, these extensions have scalar mediated flavour changing …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

We compute the one-loop matching between the Standard Model Effective Field Theory and
the low-energy effective field theory below the electroweak scale, where the heavy gauge …
