We combine all the available experimental information on Bs mixing, including the very recent tagged analyses of Bs to J/Psi phi by the CDF and D0 collaborations. We find that the phase of the Bs mixing amplitude deviates more than 3 sigma from the Standard Model prediction. While no single measurement has a 3 sigma significance yet, all the constraints show a remarkable agreement with the combined result. This is a first evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. This result disfavours New Physics models with Minimal Flavour Violation with the same significance.

The rare decay B to K* (to K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics since its angular distribution gives access to many observables that offer new important tests of the Standard Model and its extensions. We point out a number of correlations among various observables which will allow a clear distinction between different New Physics (NP) scenarios. Furthermore, we discuss the decay B to K* nu anti-nu which allows for a transparent study of Z penguin effects in NP frameworks in the absence of dipole operator contributions and Higgs penguin contributions. We study all possible observables in B to K* nu anti-nu and the related b to s transitions B to K nu anti-nu and B to X_s nu anti-nu in the context of the SM and various NP models.

Rare decays of heavy-flavoured particles provide an ideal laboratory to look for deviations from the Standard Model, and explore energy regimes beyond the LHC reach. Decays proceeding via electroweak penguin diagrams are excellent probes to search fo r New Physics, and $b to s ell^{+}ell^{-}$ processes are particularly interesting since they give access to many observables such as branching fractions, asymmetries and angular observables. Recent results from the LHCb experiment are reviewed.
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 ties, we find that within the Standard Model, the tensions could be explained if there are unaccounted hadronic effects much larger than our estimates. Assuming hadronic uncertainties are estimated in a sufficiently conservative way, we discuss the implications of the experimental results on new physics, both model independently as well as in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and models with flavour-changing $Z$ bosons. We discuss in detail the violation of lepton flavour universality as hinted by the current data and make predictions for additional lepton flavour universality tests that can be performed in the future. We find that the ratio of the forward-backward asymmetries in $B to K^* mu^+mu^-$ and $B to K^* e^+e^-$ at low dilepton invariant mass is a particularly sensitive probe of lepton flavour universality and allows to distinguish between different new physics scenarios that give the best description of the current data.
We investigate the implications of the latest LHCb measurement of $R_K$ for NP explanations of the $B$ anomalies. The previous data could be explained if the $b to s mu^+ mu^-$ NP is in (I) $C_{9,{rm NP}}^{mumu}$ or (II) $C_{9,{rm NP}}^{mumu} = -C_{1 0,{rm NP}}^{mumu}$, with scenario (I) providing a better explanation than scenario (II). This continues to hold with the new measurement of $R_K$. However, for both scenarios, this measurement leads to a slight tension of $O(1sigma)$ between separate fits to the $b to s mu^+ mu^-$ and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ data. In this paper, we investigate whether this tension can be alleviated with the addition of NP in $b to s e^+ e^-$. In particular, we examine the effect of adding such NP to scenarios (I) and (II). We find several scenarios in which this leads to improvements in the fits. $Z$ and LQ models with contributions to both $b to s mu^+ mu^-$ and $b to s e^+ e^-$ can reproduce the data, but only within scenarios based on (II). If the tension persists in future measurements, it may be necessary to consider NP models with more than one particle contributing to $b to s ell^+ ell^-$.

While the LHC did not observe direct evidence for physics beyond the standard model, indirect hints for new physics were uncovered in the flavour sector in the decays $Bto K^*mu^+mu^-$, $Bto Kmu^+mu^-/Bto Ke^+e^-$, $B_stophimu^+mu^-$, $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $htotau^pmmu^mp$. Each observable deviates from the SM predictions at the $2-3,sigma$ level only, but combining all $bto smu^+mu^-$ data via a global fit, one finds $4-5,sigma$ difference for NP compared to the SM and combining $Bto D^{*}tau u$ with $Bto Dtau u$ one obtains $3.9,sigma$. While $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $htotaumu$ can be naturally explained by an extended Higgs sector, the $bto smu^+mu^-$ anomalies point at a $Z$ gauge boson. However, it is also possible to explain $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $bto smu^+mu^-$ simultaneously with leptoquarks while their effect in $htotau^pmmu^mp$ is far too small to account for current data. Combining a 2HDM with a gauged $L_mu-L_tau$ symmetry allows for explaining the $bto smu^+mu^-$ anomalies in combination with $htotau^pmmu^mp$, predicting interesting correlations with $tauto3mu$. In the light of these deviations from the SM we also discuss the possibilities of observing lepton flavour violating $B$ decays (e.g. $Bto K^{(*)}tau^pmmu^mp$ and $B_stotau^pmmu^mp$).
