The long-standing anomaly in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon indicates the presence of chirality violating new physics contributions. A possible solution involves scalar leptoquarks with left- and right-handed couplings to the top…
We investigate supersymmetric models where neither R-parity nor lepton number nor baryon number is imposed. The full high energy theory has an exact horizontal U(1) symmetry that is spontaneously broken. Quarks and Higgs fields carry…
$SU(2)_L$-invariance links charged dilepton and dineutrino couplings. Phenomenological implications are worked out for flavor changing neutral currents involving strange, charm, beauty and top quark transitions in a model-independent way.…
We analyse a flavour model for a lepton sector which is based on type I seesaw mechanism, a Z_2 symmetry for lepton flavours, a mu-tau interchange symmetry and a CP symmetry. This model fits well the data of neutrino mass squared…
We present a model for Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) neutral current non-standard interactions of neutrinos with matter fields parameterized by $\epsilon_{\alpha \beta}^f$ with $\alpha \ne \beta$. Here, unlike the previous models, the…
We examine flavour-changing neutral-current decays of the top quark, $t\to q \gamma$, $t \to qZ$, $t \to q H$, and $ t\to q g$ (with $q=u, c$), in the Alternative Left-Right Model, a left right-symmetric model featuring exotic quarks and…
Recent measurements of $b$-hadron decays show a pattern of consistent tensions with the respective Standard Model (SM) predictions. These tensions appear both in the sector of rare flavour-changing neutral currents and in tree-level…
The quark and lepton mass matrices possess approximate flavor symmetries. Several results follow if the interactions of new scalars possess these approximate symmetries. Present experimental bounds allow these exotic scalars to have a weak…
A non-universal interaction associated with top quark induces flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) among light fermions. The size of the FCNC effect depends crucially on the dynamics of the fermion mass generation. In this paper, we…
This letter presents a phenomenological analysis for the lepton ($l_i^{}$) decaying into $ l_j^{} l_k^{} \bar{l}_k^{}, l_j^{} \pi^+ \pi^-$ considering family non-universal couplings as source of the lepton flavor-violating (LFV) currents…
The concept of lepton flavour universality (LFU), according to which the three lepton families are equivalent except for their masses, is a cornerstone prediction of the Standard Model (SM). LFU can be violated in models beyond the SM by…
We construct a model of quark-lepton unification at the TeV scale based on an $SU(4)$ gauge symmetry, while still having acceptable neutrino masses and enough suppression in flavor changing neutral currents. An approximate $U(2)$ flavor…
The phenomenon of CP violation in the standard model (SM) framework and the decay dynamics have been established from the data obtained from the B factories and so far we have not seen anything new. Nevertheless, there have been instances…
We consider non-universal 'minimal' Z' models, whose additional U(1) charge is a non-anomalous linear combination of the weak hypercharge Y, the baryon number B and the partial lepton numbers (L_e, L_mu, L_tau), with no exotic fermions…
Minimal Flavour Violation in its strong or weak versions, based on $U(3)^3$ and $U(2)^3$ respectively, allows suitable extensions of the Standard Model at the TeV scale to comply with current flavour constraints in the quark sector. Here we…
We explore the flavour structure of custodial Randall-Sundrum (RS) models in the context of the recently observed deviations in the decay of the $B$ mesons. The anomalies in the $b\rightarrow s ll$ processes can be easily fit with partially…
We examine an effective field theory inspired by Little Flavor that demonstrates a new paradigm for generating quark and lepton masses in which the scale of new flavor physics can be at the few TeV level, and new $Z'$ and $W'$ bosons are…
The Standard Model (SM) has no flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes at the tree level. Therefore, processes featuring FCNC in new physics are tightly constrained by data. Typically, the lower bounds on the scale of new physics…
We have studied implications of the generic lopsided mass matrix of the charged leptons by taking the SU(5) GUT relation in the nearest-neighbor interaction (NNI) basis. We have found four interesting relations among the lepton mixings and…
We quantitatively analyze a quark-lepton flavour model derived from a six-dimensional supersymmetric theory with $SO(10)\times U(1)$ gauge symmetry, compactified on an orbifold with magnetic flux. Two bulk $\mathbf{16}$-plets charged under…
