Loop-induced “penguin” decays involving the heavy beauty quark have long been known to be sensitive to new heavy particles from Beyond the Standard Model physics. In fact, precision flavor physics allows probing energy scales much higher than the TeV region accessible via direct searches at the LHC, evidenced by the emergence of the so-called “b-anomalies”.

This talk will focus on our ongoing work on the lepton flavor universality test via angular analysis in Λ⁰_b → pK⁻ℓ⁺ℓ⁻ decays and on our involvement in the design of game-changing radiative decay triggers for LHCb Run 3 physics program in b → sγ transitions.
