Twin Pati-Salam theory of flavour with a TeV scale vector leptoquark

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2021-11-24 v3

Abstract

We propose a twin Pati-Salam (PS) theory of flavour broken to the G4321G_{4321} gauge group at high energies, then to the Standard Model at low energies, yielding a TeV scale vector leptoquark U1μ(3,1,2/3)U^{\mu}_1(3,1,2/3) which has been suggested to address the lepton universality anomalies RK()R_{K^{(*)}} and RD()R_{D^{(*)}} in BB decays. Quark and lepton masses are mediated by vector-like fermions, with personal Higgs doublets for the second and third families, which may be replaced by a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM). The twin PS theory of flavour successfully accounts for all quark and lepton (including neutrino) masses and mixings, and predicts a dominant coupling of U1μ(3,1,2/3)U^{\mu}_1(3,1,2/3) to the third family left-handed doublets. However the predicted mass matrices, assuming natural values of the parameters, are not consistent with the single vector leptoquark solution to the RD()R_{D^{(*)}} anomaly, given its current value.
