The passage around this formula
Resolved: the LHCb lepton-universality ratios. Measurements of R(K) and R() — ratios comparing B -meson decays to muon pairs versus electron pairs, which the Standard Model predicts should be equal — showed apparent deviations through 2021 that fueled substantial theoretical interest in new mediator particles. LHCb’s December 2022 reanalysis, using the…
