We present an up-to-date complete model-independent global fit to $$b\rightarrow s\ell \ell $$ b → s ℓ ℓ observables that confirms patterns of New Physics able to explain the data. We include the recent LHCb measurements of $$R_K$$ R K , $$R_{K_S}$$ R K S , $$R_{K^{*+}}$$ R K ∗ + , $$B_s \rightarrow \phi \mu ^+\mu ^-$$ B s → ϕ μ + μ - and $$B_s\rightarrow \mu ^+\mu ^-$$ B s → μ + μ - in our analysis, which now includes 254 observables. This updates our previous analyses and strengthens their two main outcomes. First, the presence of right-handed couplings encoded in the Wilson coefficients $${{\mathcal {C}}}_{9'\mu }$$ C 9 ′ μ and $${{\mathcal {C}}}_{10'\mu }$$ C 10 ′ μ remains a viable possibility. Second, a lepton flavour universality violating (LFUV) left-handed lepton coupling ($${{\mathcal {C}}}_{9\mu }^{\mathrm{V}}=-{{\mathcal {C}}}_{10\mu }^{\mathrm{V}}$$ C 9 μ V = - C 10 μ V ), often preferred from the model building point of view, accommodates the data better if lepton-flavour universal New Physics is allowed, in particular in $${{\mathcal {C}}}_{9}^{\mathrm{U}}$$ C 9 U . We observe that the LFUV observable $$Q_5$$ Q 5 offers a very interesting possibility to separate both types of scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
