Understanding the flavour anomalies: new results from the LHCb experiment

Over the past 15 years, significant tensions have been observed in flavour-changing neutral current decays of b-hadrons. Collectively referred to as the flavor anomalies, these effects have attracted considerable attention due to the strong sensitivity of such rare processes to potential new physics. One of the most notable tensions appears in the angular distributions of the rare decay B → K*0 μ+ μ−. This seminar will present the most precise measurements of this decay to date, based on data collected with the LHCb experiment during Runs 1 and 2 of the LHC, and will discuss the implications of these new results for our understanding of the flavor anomalies
