Effective Field Theory for Leptoquarks

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-11-17 v2

Abstract

Leptoquarks enter in several extensions of the Standard Model as possible solutions to a number of observed anomalies. We work within the soft-collinear effective theory framework to present a detailed analysis of the decay rates of the three leptoquarks that appear the most in literature, the scalars S1S_1 and S3S_3 and the vector U1μU_1^{\mu}. Using renormalization group methods we resum the large logarithms arising from the evolution of the Wilson coefficients between the New Physics scale and the electroweak scale. We also derive the tree-level matching relations for the Wilson coefficients in the effective theory for some specific leptoquark models.
