Unified Framework for $B$-Anomalies, Muon $g-2$, and Neutrino Masses
Abstract
We present a model of radiative neutrino masses which also resolves anomalies reported in -meson decays, and , as well as in muon measurement, . Neutrino masses arise in the model through loop diagrams involving TeV-scale leptoquark (LQ) scalars and . Fits to neutrino oscillation parameters are obtained satisfying all flavor constraints which also explain the anomalies in , and within . An isospin-3/2 Higgs quadruplet plays a crucial role in generating neutrino masses; we point out that the doubly-charged scalar contained therein can be produced in the decays of the LQ, which enhances its reach to 1.1 (6.2) TeV at TeV high-luminosity LHC ( TeV FCC-hh). We also present flavor-dependent upper limits on the Yukawa couplings of the LQs to the first two family fermions, arising from non-resonant dilepton () processes mediated by -channel LQ exchange, which for 1 TeV LQ mass, are found to be in the range . These limits preclude any explanation of through LQ-mediated -meson decays involving or in the final state. We also find that the same Yukawa couplings responsible for the chirally-enhanced contribution to give rise to new contributions to the SM Higgs decays to muon and tau pairs, with the modifications to the corresponding branching ratios being at (2-6)% level, which could be tested at future hadron colliders, such as HL-LHC and FCC-hh.
