In the simplest examples of models with a discrete quark-lepton symmetry, an electroweak symmetry breaking sector with more than one Higgs doublet is necessary to obtain the correct mass relations between quarks and leptons. A two Higgs…
We show that the $2.4\sigma$ signal of the leptonic flavor violating (LFV) Higgs boson decay $h\to\mu\tau$, as observed by the CMS collaboration recently, can be explained by a certain class of two-Higgs doublet models that allow…
Leptoquarks (LQs) have been extensively studied in the context of $B$ anomalies. When $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ is introduced to a scalar LQ model with the LQ $S_1$ charged under the new symmetry, $S_1$ primarily couples to the third-generation…
We explore the interplay between $h(125) \to \tau\mu$ search at the LHC and $\tau \to \mu\gamma$ at the up and coming Belle~II experiment, in context of the general two Higgs doublet model with extra Yukawa couplings such as…
The CMS collaboration has reported a possible lepton flavour violating (LFV) signal $h\to\mu\tau$. Whereas this does not happen in the standard model (SM), we point out that new physics responsible for this type of decay would, in general,…
The Littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT) contains new sources of flavour and CP violation both in the quark and the lepton sector. They originate from the interactions of ordinary fermions with mirror fermions mediated by new gauge…
A minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) featuring two scalar leptoquarks, an SU(2) doublet with hypercharge 1/6 and a singlet with hypercharge 1/3, is proposed as an economical benchmark model for studies of an interplay between…
While the $S_3$ scalar leptoquark presents a possible tree-level explanation of the $b \to s \ell \ell$ flavour anomalies, it suffers from two conceptual problems which are often disregarded by model-builders. Firstly, the quantum numbers…
In these proceedings we review the flavour phenomenology of 2HDMs with generic Yukawa structures. We first consider the quark sector and find that despite the stringent constraints from FCNC processes large effects in tauonic B decays are…
We update phenomenological constraints on a Two Higgs Doublet Model with lepton flavour non-conserving Yukawa couplings. We review that $\tan \beta$ is ambiguous in such "Type III" models, and define it from the $\tau$ Yukawa coupling. The…
In recent years, evidence for lepton flavour universality violation beyond the Standard Model has been accumulated. In this context, a singly charged $SU(2)_L$ singlet scalar ($\phi^\pm$) is very interesting, as it can only have flavour…
Leptoquarks (LQ) with couplings to the third generation of Standard Model (SM) quarks have been proposed as possible explanations of the flavour anomalies indicating the violation of lepton flavour universality (LFV). The CMS collaboration…
LHCb has reported deviations from the Standard Model in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transitions for which a new neutral gauge boson is a prime candidate for an explanation. As this gauge boson has to couple in a flavour non-universal way to muons…
The Standard Model (SM) is amended by one generation of quarks and leptons which are vector-like (VL) under the SM gauge group but chiral with respect to a new $\mathrm{U}(1)_{3-4}$ gauge symmetry. We show that this model can simultaneously…
Tree-level accidental symmetries are known to play a fundamental role in the phenomenology of the Standard Model (SM) for electroweak interactions. So far, no significant deviations from the theory have been observed in precision, flavour…
We consider an abelian extension of the Standard Model (SM) comprising a new gauge group $U(1)^\prime$, with the neutral gauge boson $Z^\prime$ having flavour violating couplings to quarks and leptons. The fermion content is the same as in…
We carry out an exhaustive analysis of lepton flavor violating processes within the Simplest Little Higgs model. Its discovery could be expected from either $\mu\to e$ conversion in nuclei, $\mu\to e\gamma$ or $\mu\to3e$ decays. Then, the…
We explore $U(1)_{L_e-L_\mu}$ gauge extension of the Standard Model with particle content enlarged by three neutral fermions, of which the lightest one contributes to dark matter content of the Universe. The scalar sector is enriched with a…
A two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is one of the minimal extensions of the Standard Model (SM), and it is well-known that the general setup predicts the flavor-violating phenomena, mediated by neutral Higgs interactions. Recently the CMS…
Quark and lepton flavor signals are studied in four supersymmetric models, namely the minimal supergravity model, the minimal supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos, SU(5) supersymmetric grand unified theory with…
