Lepton Flavour Universality in Rare B Decays

Abstract

Tests of lepton flavour universality in rare decays of b hadrons mediated by flavour-changing neutral-current transitions constitute sensitive probes for physics beyond the standard model. In recent years, such tests have become increasingly precise and have attracted significant theoretical and experimental attention. In this article, we review the status of searches for lepton flavour universality violations in these processes and discuss prospects for future measurements at various facilities.
