The possibility of explaining the current value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment in models with an additional U(1) gauge symmetry that has kinetic mixing with hypercharge are increasingly constrained by dark photon searches at electron…
Several measurements of B-meson decay observables show deviations from Standard Model (SM) predictions, some of them hinting at violation of lepton flavour universality (LFU). I discusses how the anomalies in rare B decays can be explained…
The longstanding muon $(g-2)$ anomaly, as well as the persistent hints of lepton flavor universality violation in $B$-meson decays, could be signaling new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). A minimal $R$-parity-violating supersymmetric…
We discuss charged lepton flavour violating processes such as mu -> e gamma in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model and in models with gauge-Higgs unification and a warped extra dimension. In both classes of models the processes…
Flavour physics, from now up to the operation of the next high energy collider, will be an important tool for BSM searches at the TeV scale. Although far from exhaustive, a particularly relevant case is represented by the possibility that…
We introduce a scenario of lepton mixing in holographic composite Higgs models based on non-abelian discrete symmetries of the form G_f=X x Z_N, broken to Z_2 x Z_2 x Z_N in the elementary sector and to Z_N^(D) in the composite sector with…
We examine the charged boson and right-handed neutrino contribution to the muon g-2 anomaly in the twin Higgs models with the joint constraints of the Higgs global fit data, the precision electroweak data, the leptonic flavor changing decay…
In these proceedings, I present a composite Higgs model in which the flavour hierarchies between the third and light families emerge naturally. In particular, CKM mixing angles turn out to be suppressed while PMNS matrix remains anarchic.…
We introduce a composite Higgs model in which a flavour deconstructed gauge group is embedded in the strong sector. The pattern of global symmetry breaking yields, as pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNGB) bosons, both a Standard Model (SM)-like…
The discrepancy between the measured value and the Standard Model prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment is one of the important issues in the particle physics. In this paper, we consider a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) where…
We address the observed discrepancies in the anomalous magnetic dipole moments (MDM) of the muon and electron by extending the inert two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) with SM gauge singlet complex scalar field and singlet Vector-like Lepton…
In extended Higgs models, a discrete symmetry is needed in the quark sector to avoid tree-level flavor-changing neutral currents. However, this is not necessary the case in the lepton sector. We consider a model in which one Higgs couples…
Within the context of composite Higgs models, recent hints on lepton-flavour non-universality in $B$ decays can be explained by a vector resonance $V$ with sizeable couplings to the Standard Model leptons ($\ell$). We argue that, in such a…
In this paper, we consider the Standard Model (SM) with one family of vector-like (VL) leptons, which couple to all three families of the SM leptons. We study the constraints on this model coming from the heavy charged lepton mass bound,…
A natural composite Higgs demands the presence of light resonances at the TeV scale, that in general are in conflict with bounds from flavor and CP violation. We propose a composite model with a Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism, that offers new…
In neutrino physics, a class of models with local or global family symmetries may be invoked, and then a flavon field is needed to realize the full neutrino mixing. This flavon may shed light on the long-standing muon $g-2$ puzzle. In this…
We present a flavour non-universal extension of the Standard Model combined with the idea of Higgs compositeness. At the TeV scale, the gauge groups $SU(2)_R$ and $U(1)_{B-L}$ are assumed to act in a non-universal manner on light- and…
The recent measurement of the muon $g - 2$ anomaly continues to defy a Standard Model explanation, but can be accommodated within the framework of two Higgs doublet models. If one further includes extra fermion content in the form of a…
Since its inception, no decisive departure from the predictions of Standard Model (SM) has been reported. But recently various experiments have observed few hints of possible departure from SM predictions in lepton flavor universality…
We consider composite Higgs models where the Higgs is a pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson arising from the spontaneous breaking of an approximate global symmetry by some underlying strong dynamics. We focus on the SO(5) -> SO(4) symmetry…
