Flavour from the Planck scale to the electroweak scale

Abstract

We discuss a theory of flavour in which Higgs Yukawa couplings are related to those of the new scalar triplet leptoquark and/or ZZ' responsible for RK()R_{K^{(*)}}, with all couplings arising effectively from mixing with a vector-like fourth family, whose mass may be anywhere from the Planck scale to the electroweak scale for the leptoquarks explanation, but is pinned down to the TeV scale if the ZZ' exchange plays a role. However, in this particular model, only leptoquark exchange can contribute significantly to RK()R_{K^{(*)}}, since ZZ' exchange is too constrained from BsB_s mixing and τ3μ\tau \rightarrow 3 \mu, although other Higgs Yukawa matrix structures may allow it.
