The passage around this formula
Flavor physics produced the decade’s most closely watched near-misses. Between roughly 2014 and 2021, LHCb’s measurements of B -meson decays into muon pairs versus electron pairs — the “ R(K) ” and R() ratios that the Standard Model predicts should equal one if the model’s lepton universality holds — showed persistent tensions with that prediction, at one point reaching a statistical significance of 3.1 standard deviations and drawing serious theoretical attention as a…
