A global fit to a general set of Wilson coefficients of an effective low-energy Hamiltonian is presented, the solutions of which are interpreted in terms of hypothetical new-physics mediators. From the obtained results we predict selected b -> c tau(nu) over bar (tau) observables, such as the baryonic transition Lambda(b) -> Lambda(c)tau(nu) over bar (tau), the ratio R-J/psi, the forward-backward asymmetries A(FB)(D()*()), the tau polarization asymmetries P-tau(D()*()), and the longitudinal D* polarization fraction F-L(D)*. The latter shows presently a slight tension with any new-physics model, such that an improved measurement could have an important impact. We also discuss the potential change due the very recently announced preliminary R-D(*) measurement by the Belle collaboration.", optnote="WOS:000490861200001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4177), last updated on Tue, 29 Oct 2019 08:32:01 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP09(2019)103", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09311", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP09(2019)103", language="English" }
