Abstract

LHCb found hints for physics beyond the standard model in B → K ∗ μ+μ−, B → K ∗ μ+μ− /B → K ∗ e+e− and Bs → φμ+μ−. In addition, the BABAR results for B → D(∗)τν and the CMS excess in h → τ ± μ∓ also point towards lepton flavour (universality) violating new physics. While B → D(∗)τν and h → τ ± μ∓ can be naturally explained by an extended Higgs sector, the probably most promising explanation for the b → sμμ anomalies is a Z' boson. Furthermore, combining a 2HDM with a gauged Lμ − Lτ symmetry allows for explaining the b → sμ+μ− anomalies and h → τ ± μ∓ simultaneously, with interesting correlations to τ → 3μ. In the light of these deviations from the SM we also discuss the possibilities of observing lepton flavour violating B decays (e.g. B → K(∗)τ ± μ∓ and Bs → τ± μ∓) in Z' models.
