Description
Recent results in high energy physics experiments highlighted the importance of the heavy flavour processes in searching for clues of new physics. Indeed, hints of new physics can be found in semileptonic decays of B particles that occur via flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC). The LHCb (CERN, Geneva) detector plays a very important role in these measurements, since it is designed for the study of particles containing b or c quarks. The Standard Model of particle physics states that electron, muon and tau have the same electroweak coupling strength, a concept known as "lepton flavour universality", while experimental results point towards the violation of the universality. Confirmation of these results would pave the way to the discovery of new physics scenarios in these decays, for instance the observation of new heavy mediators. One of the golden channels is the rare
