B-anomalies: a road to new physics

  • Event time: 2:00pm
  • Event date: 3rd April 2019
  • Speaker: Olcyr Sumensari (INFN Padova)
  • Location: Room 1501,

Event details

Even though the LHC searches so far did not unveil the new physics particles, observations made at the LHC and at the B-factories point towards lepton flavor universality violation in both tree-level and loop-induced B-meson semileptonic decays. After a brief review of the status of these anomalies, I will discuss general implications that can be derived by using (i) an effetive field theory approach and (ii) specific leptoquark models.
