The recent anomaly in b -> s mu mu and possible correlations to other observables
Ryoutaro Watanabe (Osaka U.)


In this talk, I will show two of my recent works (arXiv:1609.09078 and arXiv:1702.00395) regarding new physics to accommodate the anomaly in b -> s mu mu which has been standing on these days. First, I will discuss whether or not new physics scenarios can explain the b -> s mu mu anomaly and simultaneously the R_D(*) measurement, which also has a large deviation from the SM prediction. Second, I will show some new physics scenario that includes a dark matter can explain the b -> s mu mu and the cosmic ray anomalies [AMS anti-proton excess], interpreted as dark matter annihilation. The possible explanation is consistent with LHC direct searches and dark matter direct detection.
