Title: $b \rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ anomalies and the Third Family Hypercharge Model

Abstract:
After reviewing some disagreements between Standard Model predictions of various flavour changing measurements in $B$ meson decays, we introduce a simple model to explain them. The model consists of an additional $U(1)$ spontaneously broken gauge symmetry which predicts flavour changing  $Z^\prime$ transitions. We examine current constraints upon the model: fits to relevant $B$-meson data and LHC $Z^\prime \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ searches.
