The $B$-physics experiments at LHCb, BaBar and Belle hint towards deviations from Lepton Flavor Universality in both the tree-level and loop-induced $B$ meson semileptonic decays. We propose a leptoquark model with light right-handed…
We show that a model with a scalar leptoquark of hypercharge $Y=1/6$ which includes the light right-handed neutrinos, can successfully describe both of the $B$-physics anomalies, $R_K^{\rm exp} < R_K^{\rm SM}$ and $R_D^{\rm exp} > R_D^{\rm…

Rare $K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu$ decays, being dominated by short distance contributions within the Standard Model (SM), open a window for New Physics (NP) searches at low energies. The $ K \to \pi \nu \bar\nu $ branching ratios are expected…
Motivated by the recent muon $g-2$ data, we study the lepton flavor violating $l \to l' \gamma$ and $Z \to l \bar l'$ ($l, l' = e, \mu, \tau$) decays with $l \neq l'$ in a scalar leptoquark model. Leptoquarks can produce sizable LFV $l\to…
We consider lepton flavor violating Higgs decay, specifically $h \to \mu\tau$, in a leptoquark model. We introduce two scalar leptoquarks with the $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ quantum numbers, $(3,2,7/6)$ and $(3,2,1/6)$, which do…
