INT S@INT Seminar: "Tests of lepton flavor universality and CKM unitarity"

Absent direct evidence at high-energy colliders, low-energy precision searches are becoming increasingly important as complementary probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. In recent years, tensions with the Standard Model have been observed in several search channels, including the anomalous magnetic moments of muon and electron, semi-leptonic B-decays, and tests of CKM unitarity.

In the talk, I will give an overview of the present situation, arguing that all these tensions could be related to the violation of lepton flavor universality.
