The Minimal Flavour Violation benchmark in view of the latest LHCb data

TL;DR

This paper examines the implications of the Minimal Flavour Violation hypothesis on flavor observables using recent LHCb data, establishing bounds that, if exceeded, would signal new flavor physics beyond the Standard Model.

Contribution

It provides updated constraints on MFV based on the latest experimental data, highlighting how future deviations could reveal new flavor structures.

Findings

MFV bounds are consistent with current LHCb data

Future measurements beyond these bounds would indicate new flavor physics

Establishes a benchmark for testing flavor models

Abstract

We derive the consequences of the MFV hypothesis for $\Delta F =1$ flavour observables based on the latest LHCb data. Any future measurements beyond the MFV bounds and relations unambiguously indicate the existence of new flavour structures next to the Yukawa couplings of the Standard Model.
