Lepton Flavor Universality Violation in a 331 Model in $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ Processes

Abstract

Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) in $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ processes is investigated in the context of a 331 model. It is shown that in order to explain the experimentally observed deviations from the Standard Model in these FCNC transitions, a non-minimal version of the model has to be considered. We investigate the ability of this model in accomodating the model-independant scenarios currently favored by global fits.
