On the significance of new physics in b → sℓ+ℓ− decays

Motivated by deviations with respect to Standard Model predictions in b→sℓ+ℓ− decays, we evaluate the global significance of the new physics hypothesis in this system by including the look-elsewhere effect for the first time. We estimate the trial-factor with pseudo-experiments and find that it can...
