Probing Lepton Flavour Universality With $\bz \to \kstarz \taup \taum$
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Neutral current $\bquark \to \squark ll$ processes have long been known to be precise probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. A pattern of anomalies seen in \bquark \to \squark μp μn and in $\bquark \to \cquark \tau \nu$ data has hinted at the violation of lepton flavour universality. Effective field theories which attempt to find an explanation for these anomalies predict sizeable enhancements to the rate of $\bquark \to \squark \taup \taum$ currents. We use $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb detector to estimate a sensitivity of \BF(\Bz \to \Kstarz \taup \taum) < 1.5 \times 10-3 at 95\% C.L.</p>
