Abstract: The impact of right-handed currents in both charged- and neutral-current flavour-violating processes is analysed by means of an effective theory approach. More explicitly, we analyse the structure of dimension-six operators assuming a left-right symmetric flavour group, commuting with an underlying $SU(2{)}_{L}imesSU(2{)}_{R}imesU(1{)}_{B-L}$ global symmetry, broken only by two Yukawa couplings. The model contains a new unitary matrix controlling flavour-mixing in the right-handed sector. We determine the structure of this matrix by charged-current data, where the tension between inclusive and exclusive determinations of $|V_{ub}|$ can be solved. Having determined the size and the flavour structure of right-handed currents, we investigate how they would manifest themselves in neutral current processes, including particle-antiparticle mixing, $$, $B_{s,d}om{u}^{+}m{u}^{-}$, $$, and $$ decays. The possibility to explain a non-standard CP-violating phase in $B_s$ mixing in this context, and the comparison with other predictive new-physics frameworks addressing the same problem, is also discussed. While a large $S_{psiphi}$ asymmetry can easily be accommodated, we point out a tension in this framework between $|V_{ub}|$ and $S_{psiK}$.
