Description
There are four models of tree-level new physics (NP) that can
potentially simultaneously explain the $b \to s \mu^+\mu^-$ and $b \to
c \ell^- {\bar\nu}$ anomalies. They are the S3, U3, and U1
leptoquarks, and a triplet of standard-model-like vector bosons
(VBs). In this talk, I describe an analysis of these models with
general couplings. We find that, even in this most general case, $S_3$
and $U_3$ are excluded. For the U1 model, I discuss the importance of
the constraints from lepton-
flavor-violating processes. As for the VB
model, it is shown to be excluded by the LHC bounds on high-mass
resonant dimuon pairs. This conclusion is reached without any
assumptions about the NP couplings.
