Description

Long-distance charm effects in $b\to s\ell\ell$ decays are the main obstacle in the interpretation of measurements of the $B\to K^*\mu\mu$ angular distribution. Given the theoretical difficulty of predicting such a contribution, the natural avenue for progress is to use data to disentangle it from New Physics. In this talk, I will present the latest measurements and plans for unbinned analyses at LHCb, which aim to fit the hadronic contributions and Wilson coefficients simultaneously.
