Direct CP asymmetry in semi-leptonic $\tau$ decays is an intriguing hint for new physics beyond the standard model. We investigate the CP asymmetry in $\tau^- \to K_S^0 \pi^- \nu_\tau$ and $\tau^- \to K^- \pi^0 \nu_\tau$ decays in…
We show that by adding a single new scalar particle to the Standard Model, a TeV-scale leptoquark with the quantum numbers of a right-handed down quark, one can explain in a natural way three of the most striking anomalies of particle…
The deviations of $B$-meson decays measured in $R_{D^{(*)}}^{\tau\ell}$ and $R_{K^{(*)}}^{\mu e}$ can be explained by the presence of two scalar leptoquarks, a singlet $S_1$ and a triplet $S_3$, mostly coupled to the third generation. We…
Leptoquark (LQ) models are well motivated solutions to the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ anomaly. In the minimal LQ models, only specific representations can lead to the chiral enhancements. For the scalar LQs, the $R_2$ and $S_1$ can lead to the top quark…
A low intermediate scale within minimal supersymmetric SO(10) GUTs is a desirable feature to accommodate leptogenesis. We explore this possibility in models where the intermediate gauge symmetry breaks spontaneously by (a) doublet Higgs…
Scalar triplet extensions of the Standard Model provide an interesting playground for the explanation of neutrino mass suppression through the type-II seesaw mechanism. Propelled by the possible connections with leptonic CP violation, we…
Leptoquarks are theoretically well-motivated and have received increasing attention in recent years as they can explain several hints for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this article, we calculate the renormalisation group evolution…
We discuss a model that can accommodate the $B$-physics anomalies, based on combining two scalar leptoquarks, $R_2$ and $S_3$, of mass $\mathcal{O}(1\,\mathrm{TeV})$, and that we proposed in our previous paper. We update the analysis of its…
We discuss an alternative to the topcolor seesaw mechanism. In our scheme, all the light quarks carry topcolor, and there are many composite SU(2) doublets. This makes it possible to get the observed top quark mass and observed $SU(2)…
Discrepancies between recent experimental results and their respective Standard Model predictions, known as flavour anomalies, are reported in semileptonic charged and neutral-current $B$-decays, the muon magnetic moment $(g-2)_\mu$, and…
We investigate the constraints on the leptoquark Yukawa couplings and Higgs-leptoquark quartic couplings for scalar doublet leptoquark $\tilde{R}_2$, scalar triplet leptoquark $\vec S_3$ and their combination with both three generations and…
Recent anomalies in $B$-meson decays, such as deviations in $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $B\to K\nu{\bar\nu}$, suggest possible lepton flavor universality violation and new exotic interactions. In this work, we explore these anomalies within a…
Collider signatures of the $SO(5) \times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification model in the Randall-Sundrum warped space are explored. Gauge couplings of quarks and leptons receive small corrections from the fifth dimension whose effects are tested…
We use a recent upper limit from CDF on like-sign top pair production to place constraints on general new vector bosons and scalars mediating u u -> t t. The possible vector bosons comprise neutral colour singlets or octets, and charge 4/3…
We investigate the Standard Model (SM) extended with a colored charged scalar, leptoquark, having fractional electromagnetic charge $-1/3$. We mostly focus on the decays of the leptoquark into second and third generations via $c\,\mu, t\,…
Assuming confirmation of the anomalies in semi-leptonic $B$-decays, their explanation in terms of the exchange of a massive vector leptoquark field, $U_\mu^a$, of charge 2/3, appears to require the inclusion of $U_\mu^a$ in the vector…
During the past few years, hints of Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) violation have been observed in $b \to c \tau \bar\nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions. Recently, the $D^*$ and $\tau$ polarization fractions $P_L^{D^*}$ and…
Arguments coming from Quantum Field Theory are supplemented with a 1-loop perturbative calculation to settle the non-unitarity of mixing matrices linking renormalized mass eigenstates to bare flavor states for non-degenerate coupled…
The present work introduces new scalar and fermionic degrees of freedom to the Standard Model. While the scalar sector is augmented by a complex scalar triplet and a doubly charged scalar singlet, the fermionic sector is extended by two…
We propose a variant of the Pati-Salam model, with gauge group $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_{Y'}$, in which the chiral left-handed quarks and leptons are unified into a $\underline{4}$ of $SU(4)_C$, while the right-handed quarks and…
