$b->smu^+mu^-$ anomalies: New Physics or QCD effects?

Petit Amphi (LAPTh)

Speakers: Nico Gubernari (Cambridge U., DAMTP)Rare $B$ meson decays are powerful probes for testing the Standard Model (SM). Recent measurements of several observables in $bto s mumu$ transitions have revealed tensions with the corresponding SM predictions. These tensions — or anomalies — have a significance above $3sigma$.  However, the theoretical predictions in these decays are […]
