Description
The current data on several observables in $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ transitions reveal certain discrepancies with Standard Model (SM) predictions. Considering the possibility that these deviations could stem from new physics, we explore the scenario where a non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ boson may be responsible. Additionally, we hypothesize that its couplings with quarks could influence an observable known as the non-leptonic puzzle $L_{K^*\bar{K}^*}$, related to rare $B_{s(d)} \to K^{(*)}K^{(*)}$ processes. By incorporating constraints from various $b \to s(d) \mu^+ \mu^-$ measurements, we analyze the potential impact of the $Z^{\prime}$ model on this observable.
