Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss the implications of recent results from LHCb that show intriguing hints for lepton flavor universality (LFU) violation in rare B meson decays.These hints are fully consistent with several other anomalies that have been observed in rare B decays in the last few years.An excellent description of all the data is obtained by new physics in form of a single four-fermion contact interaction.I will discuss how robust these results are, their implications for models of new physics, and further measurements that could help establishing new physics in rare B decays with more data.
