abstract
The ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})\equiv\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})\equiv\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ are measured, assuming isospin symmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb${ }^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode $\tau^{-}\to\mu^{-}\nu_{\tau}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$. The measured values are $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})=0.281\pm0.018\pm0.024$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})=0.441\pm0.060\pm0.066$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The correlation between these measurements is $\rho=-0.43$. Results are consistent with the current average of these quantities and are at a combined 1.9 standard deviations from the predictions based on lepton flavor universality in the Standard Model.

Search for a neutral gauge boson with nonuniversal fermion couplings in vector boson fusion processes in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV
CMS finds no evidence for a VBF-produced Z' boson with nonuniversal fermion couplings and excludes masses up to 2.45 TeV (tau-tau) and 1.60 TeV (WW), assuming 50% branching fractions and maximal W coupling.

Flavor Violations in $B$-Mesons within Non-Minimal SU(5)
A non-minimal SU(5) model with R2 leptoquark and S6 diquark is fitted to B-decay anomalies in b→cτν, B→Kπ, and B→Kνν, but the benchmark B→Kνν rate rises only about 3.5% above the Standard Model.

Joint LHCb--Belle II Prospects to Constrain New Physics in $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$
A likelihood-level combined fit of LHCb- and Belle II-like B→D(*)τν data, with shared form-factor nuisance parameters, is more sensitive and less biased than post-fit combinations of independent fits.

The effects of a scalar singlet Leptoquark at the $Z$ factory
A scalar singlet leptoquark that explains B-meson anomalies produces a ~0.7% decrease in Z→τ+τ−, which future Z-factory measurements could detect, while Z→μ+μ− is essentially unchanged.
