All Those Flavor Anomalies

In this video, we talk about a host of deviations from the Standard Model predictions that have been observed in measurements involving muons. The most famous of these is muon g-2. However, there are a bunch of anomalies involving muons, b quarks, and s quarks. There are now many such discrepancies between observation and the Standard Model prediction, and it is possible that a pattern is starting to emerge. Here, we give an overview of these observations and how they might fit together in the search for new physics.
