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 trial-factor with psuedo-experiments and find that it can be as large as seven. We calculate the global significance for the new physics hypothesis by considering the most general description of a non-standard $bto sell^+ell^-$ amplitude of short-distance origin. Theoretical uncertainties are treated in a highly conservative way by absorbing the corresponding effects into a redefinition of the Standard Model amplitude. Using the most recent measurements of LHCb, ATLAS and CMS, we obtain the global significance to be $3.9$ standard deviations.

Motivated by renewed evidence for new physics in $b to sellell$ transitions in the form of LHCbs new measurements of theoretically clean lepton-universality ratios and the purely leptonic $B_stomu^+mu^-$ decay, we quantify the combined level of discr
epancy with the Standard Model and fit values of short-distance Wilson coefficients. A combination of the clean observables $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, and $B_sto mumu$ alone results in a discrepancy with the Standard Model at $4.0sigma$, up from $3.5sigma$ in 2017. One-parameter scenarios with purely left-handed or with purely axial coupling to muons fit the data well and result in a $sim 5 sigma$ pull from the Standard Model. In a two-parameter fit of %$C_9$ and $C_{10}$, new-physics contributions with both vector and axial-vector couplings to muons the allowed region is much more restricted than in 2017, principally due to the much more precise result on $B_s to mu^+ mu^-$, which probes the axial coupling to muons.Including angular observables data restricts the allowed region further.A by-product of our analysis is an updated average of $text{BR}(B_s to mu^+ mu^-) = (2.8pm 0.3) times 10^{-9}$.
In the Standard Model (SM), the rare transitions where a bottom quark decays into a strange quark and a pair of light leptons exhibit a potential sensitivity to physics beyond the SM. In addition, the SM embeds Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU), lead
ing to almost identical probabilities for muon and electron modes. The LHCb collaboration discovered a set of deviations from the SM expectations in decays to muons and also in ratios assessing LFU. Other experiments (Belle, ATLAS, CMS) found consistent measurements, albeit with large error bars. We perform a global fit to all available $bto sell^+ell^-$ data ($ell=e,mu$) in a model-independent way allowing for different patterns of New Physics. For the first time, the NP hypothesis is preferred over the SM by $5,sigma$ in a general case when NP can enter SM-like operators and their chirally-flipped partners. LFU violation is favoured with respect to LFU at the 3-4$,sigma$ level. We discuss the impact of LFU-violating New Physics on the observable $P_5^prime$ from $B to K^*mu^+mu^-$ and we compare our estimate for long-distance charm contributions with an empirical model recently proposed by a group of LHCb experimentalists. Finally, we discuss NP models able to describe this consistent pattern of deviations.
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 w
ith 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 present the prospects of an angular analysis of the $Lambda_b to Lambda(1520)ell^+ell^-$ decay. Using the expected yield in the current dataset collected at the LHCb experiment, as well as the foreseen ones after the LHCb upgrades, sensitivity stu
dies are presented to determine the experimental precision on angular observables related to the lepton distribution and their potential to identify New Physics. The forward-backward lepton asymmetry at low dilepton invariant mass is particularly promising. NP scenarios favoured by the current anomalies in $bto sell^+ell^-$ decays can be distinguished from the SM case with the data collected between the Run 3 and the Upgrade 2 of the LHCb experiment.
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
tion in the $bto sellell$ transitions. The so-called $B$ anamolies can be best explained in five one-dimensional scenarios, i.e, $delta C_9^{mu}$, $delta C_{10}^{mu}$, $delta C_L^{mu}$, $delta C_9^{mu}=delta C_{10}^{muprime}$, and $delta C_9^{mu}=-delta C_9^{muprime}$, as demonstrated in recent model independent anlayses~cite{Alok:2019ufo,Alguero:2021anc,Geng:2021nhg,Altmannshofer:2021qrr}. In this work we explore how these scenarios can be distinguished from each other. We show that the combinations of four angular asymmetries $A_i$~$(i=3,4,5,9)$ together with the ratio $R_6$ first proposed in~cite{Jager:2014rwa} can discriminate the five new physics scenarios in proper intervals of $q^2$ and with future high-precision measurements.
