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 observables 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.
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.
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 hadroni
c 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.
In recent times, several discrepancies at the level of $(2-3)sigma$ have been observed in the decay processes mediated by flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions $b to s ell^+ ell^-$, which may be considered as the smoking-gun signal of N
ew Physics (NP). These intriguing hints of NP have attracted a lot of attention and many attempts are made to look for the possible NP signature in other related processes, which are mediated through the same quark-level transitions. In this work, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the FCNC decays of $B$ meson to axial vector mesons $ K_1(1270)$ and $ K_1(1400)$, which are admixture of the $1^3P_1$ and $1^1P_1$ states $K_{1A}$ and $K_{1B}$, in a model independent framework. Using the $ B to K_1$ form factors evaluated in the light cone sum rule approach, we investigate the rare exclusive semileptonic decays $ B to K_1(1270) mu^+ mu^-$ and $ B to K_1(1400) mu^+ mu^-$. Considering all the possible relevant operators for $b to s ell^+ ell^-$ transitions, we study their effects on various observables such as branching fractions, lepton flavor universality violating ratio ($R_{K_1})$, forward-backward asymmetries, and lepton polarization asymmetries of these processes. These results will not only enhance the theoretical understanding of the mixing angle but also serve as a good tool for probing New Physics.
