Description

There are presently many different anomalies in $B$-physics. One such anomaly is ${R_{K^{(*)}}}$, the apparent deficit of decays $B \rightarrow K \mu \mu$ compared to $B \rightarrow K e e$. In this talk, I will attempt to explain this apparent violation of lepton flavour universality within a supersymmetric framework. To do so, I will invoke the $R$-partiy violating superpotential term $\lambda' LQD^c$ and then study potential wino contributions. This will lead to a spectrum of sparticles consisting of winos and left-handed up squarks with masses of order $1 \ \text{TeV}$ and right-handed down squarks and sneutrinos with masses of order $10 \ \text{TeV}$. Potential constraints from low energy processes and direct LHC searches are examined and other features of the model such as Landau poles and neutrino masses will be discussed.
