Description
The study of $b$-quark decays plays a central role in exploring the origin of flavour. Thanks to its large mass, it allows for precise theoretical predictions, and its ability to decay into all four lighter quarks and all three charged leptons provides access to a broad range of flavour observables. Over the last 15 years, LHCb has been collecting an increasingly larger dataset of beauty hadron decays and has tested the Standard Model up to ever higher energy scales. This exploration uncovered a set of intriguing anomalies in semileptonic $b \to c$ and $b \to s$ transitions. In this talk, I will present recent LHCb results and discuss the prospects enabled by the experiment’s recent upgrade.
