abstract
In light of the very recent updates on the $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ measurements from the LHCb and Belle collaborations, we systematically explore here imprints of New Physics in $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^- $ transitions using the language of effective field theories. We focus on effects that violate Lepton Flavour Universality both in the Weak Effective Theory and in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. In the Weak Effective Theory we find a preference for scenarios with the simultaneous presence of two operators, a left-handed quark current with vector muon coupling and a right-handed quark current with axial muon coupling, irrespective of the treatment of hadronic uncertainties. In the Standard Model Effective Field Theory we select different scenarios according to the treatment of hadronic effects: while an aggressive estimate of hadronic uncertainties points to the simultaneous presence of two operators, one with left-handed quark and muon couplings and one with left-handed quark and right-handed muon couplings, a more conservative treatment of hadronic matrix elements leaves room for a broader set of scenarios, including the one involving only the purely left-handed operator with muon coupling.

Resolving the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ and $B$ anomalies with leptoquarks and a dark Higgs boson
A model with a light dark Higgs and TeV-scale leptoquarks can simultaneously explain the muon g-2 and B decay anomalies, and predicts rare B, K, and Higgs decays within reach of current experiments.

Associated $Z^\prime$ production in the flavorful $U(1)$ scenario for $R_{K^{(*)}}$
A flavorful Z' model for the B-meson anomalies predicts discoverable associated-production signatures at the HL-LHC: dimuon + b-jets for M_Z' up to ~500 GeV and tri-muon + missing energy for larger muon couplings.
