Description

In recent years, there has been great interest in the community toward New Physics scenarios involving light new degrees of freedom. In this talk, I will discuss the importance of the ultraviolet completion of such scenarios, using the case of a light vector as an example. I will show that the resulting flavour structure is of the Minimal Flavor Violation type, and I will discuss a possible interpretation of the recent excess in the $B \to K^* E_{miss}$ channel.
