The new angular analysis of the decay $B to K^* ell^+ ell^-$ recently presented by the LHCb Collaboration still indicates some tensions with the Standard Model predictions. There are several ongoing analyses to solve the problem of separating hadronic and New Physics effects in this decay, but the significance of the observed tensions in the angular observables in $B to K^* mu^+mu^-$ is still dependent on a theory guesstimate of the hadronic contributions to these decays. Using the new data from LHCb we offer two tests which make a statistical comparison to determine whether the most favoured explanation of the anomalies is New Physics or underestimated hadronic effects. We then analyse the usefulness of these tests in two future scenarios. Finally, we update our global fits to all available $b to s $ data and discuss the impact of the new LHCb measurements.

This talk discusses possible new physics interpretations of recent experimental results on the B-->K*mu+mu- decay that show a discrepancy with the Standard Model predictions. A model independent analysis that takes into account all the relevant obser vables in B-->K*mu+mu- and in related b-->s transitions allows to identify a consistent new physics explanation of the discrepancy. An explicit realization in the context of a Z model is presented. The model is based on the U(1) gauge group associated with the difference between muon- and tau-lepton number, L_mu - L_tau.
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 hadroni c 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.
The recent measurement of $R_{K^*}$ is yet another hint of new physics (NP), and supports the idea that it is present in $bto smu^+mu^-$ decays. We perform a combined model-independent and model-dependent analysis in order to deduce properties of thi s NP. Like others, we find that the NP must obey one of two scenarios: (I) $C_9^{mumu}({rm NP}) < 0$ or (II) $C_9^{mumu}({rm NP}) = - C_{10}^{mumu}({rm NP}) < 0$. A third scenario, (III) $C_9^{mumu}({rm NP}) = - C_{9}^{prime mumu}({rm NP})$, is rejected largely because it predicts $R_K = 1$, in disagreement with experiment. The simplest NP models involve the tree-level exchange of a leptoquark (LQ) or a $Z$ boson. We show that scenario (II) can arise in LQ or $Z$ models, but scenario (I) is only possible with a $Z$. Fits to $Z$ models must take into account the additional constraints from $B^0_s$-${bar B}^0_s$ mixing and neutrino trident production. Although the LQs must be heavy, O(TeV), we find that the $Z$ can be light, e.g., $M_{Z} = 10$ GeV or 200 MeV.
We analyse the results recently presented on the $B^{+} to K^{*+} mu^+ mu^-$ angular observables by the LHCb Collaboration which show indications for New Physics beyond the Standard Model. Within a model-independent analysis, we compare the fit resul ts with the corresponding results for the angular observables in $B^{0} to K^{*0} mu^+ mu^-$.

Transitions of the type $b to s l^+ l^-$ are flavour changing neutral current processes where new physics can enter in competing loop diagrams with respect to the Standard Model contributions. In these decays several observables sensitive to new phys ics, and where theoretical uncertainties are under control, can be constructed. Particularly interesting are the angular asymmetries in the decay $B_d to K^* mu^+ mu^-$ and the measurement of the branching fraction of the decays $B_{s,d} to mu^+ mu^-$. Recent measurements of these observables and the measurement of the isospin asymmetry in the decays $B to K^{(*)} mu^+ mu^-$ are presented.
