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


Abstract in English

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 $B^0 to K^{*0} mu^+mu^-$ 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 $B^0 to K^{*0} mu^+mu^-$ observables and we also investigate the prospects of such a comparison with future data from the LHCb experiment.
