We perform a data-driven analysis of new physics (NP) effects in exclusive $b to s ell^+ell^-$ decays in a model-independent effective theory approach with dimension six operators considering scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector and axial-vector operators with the corresponding Wilson coefficients (WC) taken to be complex. The analysis has been done with the most recent data while comparing the outcome with that from the relatively old data-set. We find that a left-handed quark current with vector muon coupling is the only one-operator $(mathcal{O}_9)$ scenario that can explain the data in both the cases with real and complex WC with a large non-zero imaginary contribution. We simultaneously apply model selection tools like cross-validation and information-theoretic approach like Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) to find out the operator or sets of operators that can best explain the available data in this channel. The $mathcal{O}_9$ with complex WC is the only one-operator scenario which survives the test. However, there are a few two and three-operator scenarios (with real or complex WCs) which survive the test, and the operator $mathcal{O}_9$ is common among them.
We draw attention on the procedure, where Standard Model predictions and experimental results are compared and certain new physics scenarios are ruled out, that requires great attention, since there is still a room for new physics, especially when co
We present results of global fits of all relevant experimental data on rare $b to s$ decays. We observe significant tensions between the Standard Model predictions and the data. After critically reviewing the possible sources of theoretical uncertain
Motivated by deviations with respect to Standard Model predictions in $bto sell^+ell^-$ decays, we evaluate the global significance of the new physics hypothesis in this system, including the look-elsewhere effect for the first time. We estimate the
In recent years, intriguing hints for the violation of Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) have been accumulated in semileptonic $B$ decays, both in the neutral-current transitions $bto sell^+ell^-$ (i.e., $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$) and the charged-current t
The recent measurements of $R_K$, $B_stomu^+mu^-$, a set of CP-averaged angular observables for the $B^0to K^{*0}mu^+mu^-$ decay, and its isospin partner $B^+to K^{*+}mu^+mu^-$ by the LHCb Collaboration, consistently hint at lepton universality viola
