We examine various scenarios that involve a light ${\cal O}(1 TeV)$ leptoquark state and select those which are compatible with the current experimental values for $\mathcal{B}(B_s\to \mu\mu)$, $\mathcal{B}(B\to…
Motivated by the recent experimental progress on the $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ and $R_{K^{(\ast)}}$ anomalies in $B$-decays, we consider an extension of the Standard Model by a single vector leptoquark field. We study how one can achieve the…
It is common practice to explain deviations between data and Standard-Model (SM) predictions by postulating new particles at the TeV scale ad-hoc. This approach becomes much more convincing, if one successfully embeds the postulated…
Motivated by additional experimental hints of Lepton Flavour Universality violation in B decays, both in charged- and in neutral-current processes, we analyse the ingredients necessary to provide a combined description of these phenomena.…
In recent years, experiments revealed intriguing hints for new physics (NP) in semi-leptonic $B$ decays. Both in charged current processes, involving $b \to c \tau \nu$ transitions, and in the neutral currents $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$, a…
In this work we study possible connections between $B$-meson anomalies and Kaon physics observables in the context of combined solutions with the singlet and triplet scalar leptoquarks $S_1$ and $S_3$. By assuming a flavor structure for the…
The anomalies in the $B$-meson sector, in particular $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and $R_{D^{(*)}}$, are often interpreted as hints for physics beyond the Standard Model. To this end, leptoquarks or a heavy $Z'$ represent the most popular SM extensions…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author. I suggest a new particle model to solve simultaneously the problems of fermion masses and flavor mixings, and baryon asymmetry and dark matter. The model extends the standard model by adding a…
One of the most important discoveries in particle physics is the observation of nonzero neutrino masses, which dictates that the Standard Model (SM) is incomplete. Moreover, several pieces of evidence of lepton flavor universality violation…
Driven by the recent experimental hints of lepton-flavor-universality violation in the bottom-quark sector, we consider a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) with an additional vector leptoquark $V_{\rm LQ}({\bf 3},{\bf 1},2/3)$ and…
An important prediction of the standard model is the universality of the gauge interactions of the three generation of charged leptons. Violation of this universality would be a clean evidence of new physics (NP) beyond the standard model.…
We investigate a gauge extension of the Standard Model in light of the observed hints of lepton universality violation in $b \to c \ell \nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays at BaBar, Belle and LHCb. The model consists of an extended…
Significant deviations from Standard Model (SM) predictions have been observed in $ b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ decays and in the muon $g-2$. Scalar leptoquark extensions of the SM are known to be able to address these anomalies, but generically…
We show that one can explain the neutral and charged anomalies in B-meson decays in the minimal theory for quark-lepton unification.The implications for flavor violating processes are discussed in detail. Strikingly, experimental…
We present a thorough investigation of the vector leptoquark hypothesis for a combined explanation of the $B$-physics anomalies. We analyze this hypothesis from a twofold perspective, taking into account recent results from $B$-physics…
We suggest three scalar leptoquarks, $S_1$, ${\tilde R}_2$, and $S_3$ which couple exclusively to the 3rd generation of leptons to explain the $B$ anomalies. The scalar singlet $S_1$ can explain $R(D^{(*)})$, while the doublet ${\tilde…
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 interpret the recent hints for lepton flavor universality violation in rare $B$ meson decays. Based on a model-independent effective Hamiltonian approach, we determine regions of new physics parameter space that give a good description…
Supersymmetric B-L extension of the Standard Model (SM) is one of the best candidate for physics beyond the SM that accounts for TeV scale seesaw mechanism and provides an attractive solution for the Higgs naturalness problem. We analyze…
In this paper we provide a combined explanation of charged- and neutral-current $B$-physics anomalies assuming the presence of a light sterile neutrino $N_R$ which contributes to the $B \to D^{(*)} \tau \nu$ processes. We focus in…
