Description

There are measurements in B decays that point to lepton universality violation. These puzzles are in the charged current B-> D^(*) tau \bar{nu}_tau and in the neutral current b-> s ll decays and are known as the R_D* and R_K puzzles. I will discuss how the two puzzles may be related and explore the consequences of this connection. Possible connection between the R_K puzzle and the muon g-2 with a light Z' will also be discussed.
