Explaining Flavour Anomalies with Heavy Scalars

Abstract

Discrepancies between recent experimental results and their respective Standard Model predictions, known as flavour anomalies, are reported in semileptonic charged and neutral-current BB-decays, the muon magnetic moment (g2)μ(g-2)_\mu, and the extraction of the Cabibbo angle. In this proceedings, we review two New Physics models that introduce two scalar mediators at the TeV scale and aim at a combined explanation of the flavour anomalies. The first model features the leptoquarks S1S_1 and S3S_3 and provides tree level solutions to both BB-anomalies and one-loop level solution to the anomalous (g2)μ(g-2)_\mu. The second features the leptoquark S1S_1 and the charged singlet ϕ+\phi^+. While S1S_1 provides the same solution to the charged-current BB-anomaly and (g2)μ(g-2)_\mu as in the first model, ϕ+\phi^+ can accommodate the Cabibbo-angle anomaly independently and together with S1S_1 can resolve the neutral-current BB-anomaly at one-loop.
