In a couple of recent publications ( arXiv:1706.08437 and arXiv:1712.01593 ), the authors attempted to achieve simultaneous explanation of the persistent flavor anomalies in $bto s$ and $bto c$ semileptonic decays with a minimal scheme by using only three unknown new parameters. The analysis was obtained with a handful of precise observables. Motivated by their proposal, in this paper we reanalyze the models proposed in the aforementioned papers with a total of 170 observables from those channels including newly available measurements, correlated theoretical results, and constraints. We validate our results by searching for the most influential points and outliers. By analyzing the parameter spaces and their relationship with the constraints, we gain new insight and statistical significance in those models. We also provide a new and precise calculation of $R(J/Psi)$, obtained during the analysis.

We investigate the possibility of explaining the enhancement in semileptonic decays of $bar B to D^{(*)} tau bar u$, the anomalies induced by $bto smu^+mu^-$ in $bar Bto (K, K^*, phi)mu^+mu^-$ and violation of lepton universality in $R_K = Br(bar Bto K mu^+mu^-)/Br(bar Bto K e^+e^-)$ within the framework of R-parity violating (RPV) MSSM. Exchange of down type right-handed squark coupled to quarks and leptons yield interactions which are similar to leptoquark induced interactions that have been proposed to explain the $bar B to D^{(*)} tau bar u$ by tree level interactions and $bto s mu^+mu^-$ anomalies by loop induced interactions, simultaneously. However, the Yukawa couplings in such theories have severe constraints from other rare processes in $B$ and $D$ decays. Although this interaction can provide a viable solution to $R(D^{(*)})$ anomaly, we show that with the severe constraint from $bar B to K u bar u$, it is impossible to solve the anomalies in $bto s mu^+mu^-$ process simultaneously.
In this addendum to arXiv:1811.09603 we update our results including the recent measurement of ${cal R}(D)$ and ${cal R}(D^*)$ by the Belle collaboration: ${cal R}(D)_{rm Belle} = 0.307pm0.037pm0.016$ and ${cal R}(D^*)_{rm Belle}=0.283pm0.018pm0.014$, resulting in the new HFLAV fit result ${cal R}(D) = {0.340pm0.027 pm 0.013}$, ${cal R}(D^*) = {0.295pm0.011 pm 0.008 }$, exhibiting a $3.1,sigma$ tension with the Standard Model. We present the new fit results and update all figures, including the relevant new collider constraints. The updated prediction for ${cal R}(Lambda_c)$ from our sum rule reads ${cal R}(Lambda_c)= mathcal{R}_{rm SM}(Lambda_c) left( 1.15 pm 0.04 right) = 0.38 pm 0.01 pm 0.01$. We also comment on theoretical predictions for the fragmentation function $f_c$ of $bto B_c$ and their implication on the constraint from $B_{u/c}totau u$ data.
In the absence of direct evidence for New Physics at present LHC energies, the focus is set on the anomalies and discrepancies recently observed in rare $b to sellell$ transitions which can be interpreted as indirect hints. Global fits have shown that an economical New Physics solution can simultaneously alleviate the tensions in the various channels and can lead to a significant improvement in the description of the data. Alternative explanations within the Standard Model for part of the observed anomalies have been proposed in terms of (unexpectedly large) hadronic effects at low dilepton invariant mass and attributing tensions in protected observables to statistical fluctuations or experimental errors. We review the treatment of hadronic uncertainties in this kinematic regime for one of the most important channels, $B to K^*mu^+mu^-$, in a pedagogical way. We provide detailed arguments showing that factorisable power corrections cannot account for the observed anomalies and that an explanation through long-distance charm contributions is disfavoured. Some optimized observables at very low dilepton invariant mass are shown to be protected against contributions from the semileptonic coefficient $C_9$ (including any associated long-distance charm effects), enhancing their sensitivity to New Physics contributions to other Wilson coefficients. Finally, we discuss how the recent measurement of $Q_5$ by Belle (and in the future by LHCb and Belle-II) may provide a robust cross-check of our arguments.
This article analyses the available inputs in $btopilnu$ and $btorholnu$ decays which include the measured values of differential rate in different $q^2$-bins (lepton invariant mass spectrum), lattice, and the newly available inputs on the relevant form-factors from the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) approach. We define different fit scenarios, and in each of these scenarios, we predict a few observables in the standard model (SM). For example, $R(M) =frac{mathcal{B}(B to Mell_i u_{ell_i})}{mathcal{B}(Bto Mell_j u_{ell_j})} $, $R^{ell_i}_{ell_j}(M) =frac{mathcal{B}(Bto ell_i u_{ell_i})}{mathcal{B}(B to Mell_j u_{ell_j})}$ with M = $pi$ or $rho$ and $ell_{i,j} = e, mu$ or $tau$. We also discuss the new physics (NP) sensitivities of all these observables and obtain bounds on a few NP Wilson coefficients in $bto u tau u_{tau}$ decays using the available data. We have noted that the data at present allows sizeable NP contributions in this mode. Also, we have predicted a few angular observables relevant to these decay modes.
We investigate the consequences of $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry in presence of a light sterile neutrino for the $3+1$ neutrino mixing scheme. We discuss the implications of total $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry as well partial $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry. For the total $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry we find values of $theta_{23}$ and $delta$ remains confined near $pi/4$ and $pm pi/2$ respectively. The current allowed region for $theta_{23}$ and $delta$ in case of inverted hierarchy lies outside the area preferred by the total $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry. However, interesting predictions on the neutrino mixing angles and Dirac CP violating phases are obtained considering partial $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry. We obtain predictive correlations between the neutrino mixing angle $theta_{23}$ and Dirac CP phase $delta$ and study the testability of these correlations at the future long baseline experiment DUNE. We find that while the imposition of $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry in the first column admit both normal and inverted neutrino mass hierarchy, demanding $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry for the second column excludes the inverted hierarchy. Interestingly, the sterile mixing angle $theta_{34}$ gets tightly constrained considering the $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry in the fourth column. We also study consequences of $mu-tau$ reflection symmetry for the Majorana phases and neutrinoless double beta decay.
