Description

abstract: Flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM), therefore allowing contributions from beyond the SM processes to significantly modify experimental observables. Rare b to s FCNC transitions, such as B->K(*)mumu, provide a wide range of observables highly sensitive to new physics effects. Recent LHCb measurements on such decays have revealed tensions with the SM predictions. This talk will present LHCb's latest measurements in such decays.
