If the leptoquarks proposed to account for the intriguing anomalies observed in the $B$-meson decays, $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ and $R_{K^{(\ast)}}$, as well as in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $(g-2)_\mu$, can be embedded into the…
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…
Right-handed neutrinos $\nu_R$ play a crucial role in flavor-changing neutral-current processes with missing energy, such as $b\to s + \slashed{E} $ and $d\to s + \slashed{E} $, where Belle-II reports unexpectedly large branching fraction…

Leptoquark (LQ) models can be the solution to the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ anomaly because of the chiral enhancements. In this work, we consider the models extended by the LQ and vector-like quark (VLQ) simultaneously, which can be used to explain the…
Leptoquarks provide some of the simplest explanations to the hints of lepton flavor non-universality in $B$ decays. In particular, a new confining gauge group can provide a natural and appealing origin for the leptoquarks. So far, direct…
Flavor symmetries successfully explain lepton and quark masses and mixings yet it is usually hard to distinguish different models that predict the same mixing angles. Further experimental input could be available, if the agents of flavor…
The puzzle of $R(D^{(*)})$ associated with $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ decay is addressed in the two-HIggs-doublet model. An anomalous coupling of $\tau$ to the charged Higgs is introduced to fit the data from BaBar, Belle, and LHCb. It is shown…
We investigate the $R_{D}$ and $R_{D^*}$ anomalies in the context of non-minimal $SU(5)$, where Higgs sector is extended by adjoint 45-dimensional multiplet. One of the light spectrum of this model could be the scalar triplet leptoquark…
Most of the popular explanations of the observed anomalies in the semileptonic $B$-meson decays involve TeV scale Leptoquarks (LQs). Among the various possible LQ models, two particular LQs -- $S_{1}(3, 1, 1/3)$ and $U_{1}(3, 1, 2/3)$ seem…
