Please note that this is still an analysis of "LHC Run 1" data. Fore more details you can visit Jesters blog: http://resonaances.blogspot.de/2015/03/lhcb-b-mes

"So how excited should we be? One thing we learned today is that the anomaly is unlikely to be a statistical fluctuation. However, the observable is not of the clean kind, as the measured angular distributions are susceptible to poorly known QCD effects. The significance depends a lot on what is assumed about these uncertainties, and experts wage ferocious battles about the numbers."
Conclusively: "Therefore, the deviation from the standard model is not yet convincing at this point."
