Abstract

The LHC observed deviations from the Standard Model (SM) in the flavour sector: LHCb found a 4.3σ4.3\,\sigma discrepancy compared to the SM in bsμμb\to s\mu\mu transitions and CMS reported a non-zero measurement of hμτh\to\mu\tau with a significance of 2.4σ2.4\,\sigma. Here we discuss how these deviations from the SM can be explained, focusing on two models with gauged LμLτL_\mu-L_\tau symmetry. The first model contains two scalar doublets and vector-like quarks while the second one employs three scalar doublets but does not require vector-like fermions. In both models, interesting correlations between bsμμb\to s\mu\mu transitions, hμτh\to\mu\tau, and τ3μ\tau\to3\mu arise.
