Leptophilic New Physics and the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-01-26 v1

Abstract

The Cabibbo Angle Anomaly, an apparent deficit in first-row CKM unitarity, can be addressed by leptophilic Standard Model extensions that generate new contributions to the Fermi constant and affect the determination of the CKM element VudV_{ud}. We focus on simplified models with this property, including the Standard Model extended by vectorlike leptons, by the singly charged scalar singlet, or by a leptophilic ZZ' boson.
