Lepton flavour universality tests and lepton flavour violation searches at LHCb

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics represents our most fundamental knowledge of elementary particles and their interactions. One of the cardinal properties of the SM which has been thoroughly studied during the past years is the so-called Lepton F ...
