Michel De Cian: Anomalies in rare B decays

Flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) only proceed via loop level in the Standard Model and therefore offer an excellent probe for new physics. In the last years, several measurements of rare B decays proceeding via FCNCs have shown deviations from the Standard Model predictions.
After an introduction to the LHCb detector and the data taking strategy, I will talk about the most important measurements of rare B decays and about the comparison with theoretical predictions. I will highlight the results from angular analyses and tests of lepton flavor violation in b -> s l l transitions from LHCb and other experiments.
